Erick Galluzzo

Biography

Hi, my name is Eric Galluzzo-Torres. I was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where I’m now based. I’m a self-taught tattoo artist specializing in black and grey, fine line, geometric, ornamental, black and grey realism and nature-inspired designs. My work focuses on detail, contrast, and creating tattoos that feel timeless and meaningful.

I started tattooing in 2015 and have since lived and worked in both Pittsburgh, where I ran my own shop for six years and Denver, Colorado, where I pushed myself to explore new styles. Along the way, I’ve also traveled to cities like Nashville, Philadelphia, and Portland for guest spots. Which gave me the opportunity to grow my craft and connect with people in different communities.

For me, tattooing is about more than technique. It’s about collaboration, storytelling, and connection. Whether I’m designing something custom with a client or working from one of my own pre-drawn ideas, I aim to create tattoos that are personal and lasting, while also providing a positive, memorable experience in a welcoming and comfortable environment.

When I’m not tattooing, I’m usually with my family and pups, out hiking or running, or working on other creative passions like painting, cinematography, and 3D art. Tattooing has given me the chance to connect with incredible people along the way, and I’m grateful to turn those moments into lasting art that tells their story.
