Visionary Ink is back as 2.0 — a black & grey realism shop with seven artists under one roof on Babcock Rd. No more hunting five different Instagram pages to figure out who to book. The whole roster lives right here.
The Roster
Every artist at Visionary Ink 2.0, side by side: their style, their rates, and exactly how they book. Each artist runs their own chair, so deposits and minimums are listed per artist — straight from their own pages.
Black & grey realism — healed sleeves, Chicano-style pieces, religious and portrait work. The shop is his name and his standard.
High-quality black & grey realism — cherubs, Spartan warriors, religious portraits, skeletal work. One of the shop's two newest chairs.
The roster's range pick — black & grey realism, color realism, and neo-traditional. Portraits and big thigh pieces are his calling card.
Large-scale black & grey — full sleeves and big custom pieces, booked by the day. If you're planning a serious project, start here.
Script and black & grey realism — lettering, fine detail, and custom pieces built around your idea. The fastest booker on the roster: one text gets it moving.
Realism across the board — fine-line florals, black & grey, and bold color pieces (his horror work travels feed to feed for a reason).
Building a name on big, confident work — her first full back piece just landed out of this shop. Booking new pieces now.
Part of the 2.0 crew posting work out of the Babcock shop. Reach her through the shop page — one message and you're connected.
The shop flies in talent year-round — Philadelphia, Las Vegas, El Paso. Limited dates, and they book out before they land.
Every artist books their own chair. Rates and deposits above are each artist's own, as posted on their pages — the shop keeps them in one place so you can compare before you commit.
Booking, minus the runaround
No phone tree, no "check our stories and hope." Find the right artist for the piece you want, reach out the way they book, lock it with a deposit.
Styles, day rates, minimums, and deposits — side by side above. Black & grey is the house specialty, but the roster covers color and neo-traditional too.
Each card lists how that artist books — DM, or a direct text line. Send your idea, placement, size, and reference photos to speed things up.
Deposits secure your date and come with each artist's terms — listed on their card before you ever reach out. 18+ with valid ID, always.
Guest dates are limited and fill from the announcement post — if you want a chair while they're in San Antonio, message the shop page early.
