BEHIND THE INK.

My name is Agustin Espinoza, owner and artist at Self Made Tattoo in Prineville, Oregon. My journey into tattooing started at 19 years old, working out of apartments and garages while holding down a regular job and chasing something I was passionate about. What started with a love for art and graffiti eventually turned into a career built through years of dedication, sacrifice, and constantly working to improve my craft.

With over 16 years of experience, I specialize in black and grey realism, color realism, portraits, lettering, and custom tattoo work in both black and grey and full color. For the past 10 years, I've proudly owned and operated Self Made Tattoo, the longest-standing tattoo shop in Prineville, recognized as Best Tattoo Shop in both 2025 and 2026.

I take pride in how far I've come, but I know there's always more to learn. I'm grateful for every client who's trusted me with their ideas and everyone who's supported me along the way. To me, being self-made isn't about doing everything alone. It's about putting in the work, believing in what you're building, and never forgetting where you started.
