About Jonny

Jon Gómez is an interdisciplinary artist, tattooer, and educator. He founded Macondo, a private tattoo studio in New York, providing space and guidance for emerging artists to develop their tattoo practice. Gómez incorperates his background in film, video, and analog experimental animation into his tattoo design. This enriches his designs with a gritty textured aesthetic with atmosphere and darkness. All size projects are welcome. Gómez received an MFA in Fine Arts from The School of Visual Arts in Manhattan and a BFA in Film/Video from the California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles. Jon Gómez was born in Los Angeles, has lived in Mazatlan, Mexico and now lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

FAQ

For custom tattoos, when can I see a design?
I design in person the day of your session. This process makes your tattoo more collaborative and cuts down on wasted time via emails. My background is in digital art, which means I can design rather quickly if I can get in-person notes.
How do your style of tattoos age?
Just like any other style of tattoo, they change over time. Just like the rest of our body. The dots will soften and create a less gritty image. You can help keep your tattoos looking fresh with lots of sunscreen and lotion.
Is tipping standard practice?
Tipping is up to you. Most collectors tip, but it's never required. A standard tip is 20% but for real... it's your call.
Can I bring a friend or my dog to my appointment?
I would prefer you come by yourself. If it's a comfort thing, your friend can come in with you and feel things out but a shop can get busy and it's best to make this session about your tattoo journey.
I'm worried about pain, do you offer numbing cream?
I do but I recommend not using it if you can push through. I want you to have a great session and some pain is part of the process. You'd be surprised what we can endure and how proud you will be of yourself when you make it to the other side. That being said, if you need it. I got you.
