Neon Viper was founded by Kai Nakamura after 10 years tattooing in Denver, Portland, and Tokyo. He wanted a studio where custom work wasn't just preferred -- it was the only option.
He chose Durango because the mountains inspire his art and the community respects craft. Today Neon Viper houses three full-time artists and a waiting list that speaks for itself.
