Nick Willard
Owner and Tattoo Artist
I'm Nick Willard, the heartbeat of GradeA X Ink. I've been crafting street-inspired tattoo art for over 14 years, blending urban culture with clean, bold designs. My journey started in Inglewood, where I opened my first shop in 2014. More than just tattoos, it's about creating a legacy that inspires others to tell stories through ink.
I stand by my mission to mentor aspiring tattoo artists and offer pieces that speak to individuality. Each stroke of my needle is a commitment to artistry and lifestyle, a reflection of the community I serve in Encino.
