Tattooed Theory is based in Mooresville, North Carolina. I’m Javier Antunez, and I specialize in large-scale color realism, fantasy, and biomechanical tattoos. but thats not all, I do so much more!
My day rate is $2,000. A full color sleeve typically takes 5–10 sessions depending on detail, while black & gray work may take slightly less. I do also offer half day rates for Smaller pieces, for more info please visit www.JaviTattooedTheory.com
Yes — through my Shopify checkout, you can choose Affirm as a payment option to split the cost of your tattoo into manageable monthly payments. This makes it easier to budget for larger pieces like sleeves or back tattoos while still booking your spot right away. please visit our Financing page for more info
Booking starts online through my contact form. A deposit is required to secure your spot, and we’ll plan your design together before your appointment.
I’m known for fantasy art, biomechanical themes, and high-detail realism. I also enjoy mixing pop culture, surrealism, and dark art influences.
Most tattoos take about 2–3 weeks to surface-heal, with deeper layers taking up to 2 months. I’ll guide you through aftercare to make sure your piece heals bright and strong. I strongly recommend visiting my AFTERCARE page where I go in depth.
My name is Javier Antunez. I began tattooing in 2007, but I've been creating art for as long as I can remember. From the moment I discovered tattooing, I was captivated by the idea of making art permanent—and to this day, it still amazes me! I take pride in connecting with my clients and collaborating closely with them to bring their visions to life.
While I don’t think it really matters, I know the SEO gods would want you to know that I've won plenty of awards at tattoo expos for both fresh and healed works (I can practically taste the vomit in my mouth as I type that—curse you, SEO algorithms! Haha).
Awards aside, I genuinely love tattooing and still feel a rush of excitement with every piece I do. If you haven’t already, be sure to check out my work by clicking the button below!
