ARTIST
JIMMY MUNOZ
Jimmy Munoz started his apprenticeship in March of 2008. Under the supervision of all the artists at Rising Phoenix Tattoo, Jimmy started his career in the tattoo industry. His brother Beto quickly took control of his apprenticeship, teaching Jimmy how to be an artist. He soon found out that a tattoo apprenticeship would engulf all of his time. He says “it was all about practice in my apprenticeship. Always practicing gave me good art habits.” As the years have gone by Jimmy still believes that learning to be a great artist takes a lifetime. Jimmy has always strived to be a great mentor and artist in the tattoo and piercing industry. Working at Color Theory Tattoo for six years taught him how to put his head down and work hard. The experience he gained at Color Theory Tattoo will help him navigate the success of New Hope Tattoo. Jimmy told me “Always have a goal in mind” I know I can’t wait to see what Jimmy will do next.

Saucy Espinosa
Saucy Espinosa grew up in Oak Lawn, Illinois. Always fascinated by the graffiti he saw on the passing trains and nearby buildings. He then quickly started doing graffiti himself. Art took up most of his time after that and he would draw on anything that he could get his hands on. He took a lot of pride in his artwork and made sure it looked the best it could. He then brought that mindset into tattooing.
Saucy became interested in tattoos after seeing them on his parents. He began tattooing after he graduated from Oak Lawn High School. Brandon’s parents were very supportive and encouraging about him having a career in art. Even letting him do his first tattoo on his father in their garage.
Saucy started his tattoo career at a shop near his hometown then moved over to New Hope Tattoo. Quickly feeling at home Brandon knew that New Hope was the perfect shop for him to be in. He loves tattooing lettering, fineline work, and black and gray tattoos. He always makes sure that his drawings are perfect for his clients and is always excited to take on new projects.

Brian Kinsler
Brian Kinsler first started drawing at a young age. Taking art classes and enjoying the creative process on paper. It wasn’t until later the idea of tattooing showed itself.
