A Laredo tattoo shop built around one chair
Wasted Youth Tattoos is a private, appointment-only tattoo studio in Laredo, Texas. One artist, one client at a time, and a custom design for every piece.
What makes this Laredo tattoo shop different
Most tattoo shops in Laredo run several chairs and take walk-ins all day. Wasted Youth works the other way: the studio on Gale is private, so when you are in the chair the artist and the room are yours. No crowd behind you, no rush to free up the station.
Every tattoo is drawn for you by Andrew Lazo, a Laredo tattoo artist who has been posting finished work since 2019. Bring a reference, a character, a photo of someone you love, or just a feeling, and the design gets built around your body and placement.
Styles people come in for
Anime and pop culture, dark and horror work, dragons and creatures, florals, realism and memorial portraits, religious pieces, neo-tribal blackwork, fine line, cover-ups and UV blacklight tattoos. The portfolio has hundreds of finished Laredo tattoos sorted by theme so you can see the exact style before you book.
