TERRY DUTRA

Shop Owner & Tattoo Artist

Since opening Custom Concepts in 2005, Terry Dutra has dedicated over 20 years to perfecting the art of tattooing on the Emerald Coast. His expertise shines in neo-traditional designs, fully custom creations, and intricate cover-ups. If you have a tattoo you wish to transform, Terry is the go-to artist that other shops recommend.

SANDRA MARTIN - TATTOO ARTIST

Sandra's range runs from delicate fine line to full black & grey realism. Her portfolio is heavy on portraits, religious pieces, animals, florals, and horror icons — work that demands both technical control and an artist's instinct for what makes an image carry emotion on skin. If you've been waiting to find the right artist for something personal — a memorial portrait, a piece with real meaning behind it — Sandra is who you sit with.

Nickolas Holt - Tattoo Artist

Nickolas Holt is a tattoo artist renowned for his exceptional skills in black & grey realism, neo-traditional, and anime styles. His work is characterized by photorealistic portraits that capture intricate details in smooth greyscale, alongside bold anime pieces that maintain their striking line work for years. Clients specifically request Nick by name, a testament to his precision and artistry.
