About Andrew Fernandez
Andrew Fernandez's career as a tattoo artist spans four years and multiple countries. Unlike artists who learned in a single shop, Andrew sought out mentorships and conventions across the US and Latin America — tattooing at the Milwaukee Tattoo Arts Festival, the Villain Arts 15th Annual Chicago Tattoo Art Festival, the 17th Annual Baltimore Tattoo Arts Festival, and the 16th Annual Minneapolis Tattoo Arts Festival.
That convention circuit gave Andrew experience that most studio-only artists don't get: working under pressure, adapting to different skin types and styles on the spot, and learning from some of the best in the industry. The result is a versatile approach rooted in realism but flexible enough to handle any custom piece Minneapolis clients bring to the table.
Originally from Tlaxcala in Mexico's Puebla region, Andrew's heritage infuses his work with cultural storytelling. Whether it's a religious portrait, a nature scene, or an abstract custom piece, his goal is the same — every tattoo should mean something. Andrew's philosophy centers on making each piece a unique story told through ink.
Andrew Fernandez's Specialties
Realism & Portraits
Andrew's realism work is his strongest suit — portraits, religious imagery, animals, and nature scenes brought to life with depth and dimension. His convention experience gives him confidence with large, complex compositions.
Fine Line
While realism is his foundation, Andrew's fine line work is equally precise. Delicate script, minimalist designs, and small first-tattoo pieces all benefit from his steady hand and attention to detail.
Black & Grey
Andrew's black and grey portfolio features dramatic contrast and smooth tonal transitions — from bold sleeve work to subtle shading on smaller pieces.
Custom Designs
Every custom piece Andrew's Minneapolis clients commission starts with a conversation. He pulls from his travels, his heritage, and your vision to create something entirely original.
