About After Ten Tattoo
After Ten Tattoo has built a real name for itself in El Paso, and it's one of the highest-regarded studios you'll find in the area. Ask anyone who's been inked here and you'll hear the same thing: the artists are seriously talented, the studio is spotless, and the whole crew makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk through the door. People drive a long way to sit in these chairs, some coming from as far as the Albuquerque area because they say the work here beats what they can get closer to home. The shop is known for black and grey, lettering and script, portrait and realism, along with illustrative, geometric, and blackwork pieces.
Word around town is they do excellent anime work too. If you've got a wild idea or just a photo and a hope, the artists here take pride in bringing it to life, and they handle custom design from the ground up. A few names come up again and again. Jesus Medina has a loyal following, with folks saying he can make a six-hour session feel like two and turn a rough concept into something better than imagined.
Joe is the one people ask for when they need a fix on a piece that didn't turn out right elsewhere. Sydney (also called Sid) and Sketch both get high marks for clean, precise line work and easy energy. Walk-ins are welcome, they bring in guest artists, and locals consistently call it good value. We've heard the rare grumble about deposits and communication before an appointment, but that's the exception.
For most people who get work done at this El Paso tattoo shop, the experience is one they come back for.

What Customers Say on Google
“Jesus Medina absolutely crushed my calf tattoo. The detail, flow, and placement are perfect, and the piece looks incredible from every angle. Super professional, great energy, and clearly passionate about his craft.”
“All of the artists made us feel welcome. Joe was my artist and did the morbid neck piece. Sid was my wife's artist with the badass minion. Both were phenomenal with their craft.”
“Jesus made sure my piece was affordable and the drawing was something I absolutely loved. During the tattoo session, Jesus made sure I was comfortable and doing good with pain wise!”
