Artist Profile

Kevin Cox

Kevin grew up the youngest of three brothers in Washoe Valley/Reno before heading to art school in San Francisco from 1986–1989. Somewhere along the way, he learned to break the law properly—tagging and painting breakdance murals under the AEROS moniker—then lived in Santa Cruz before returning to Reno full time in 2000. Owner of Aces Tattoo, Kevin is an avid ex-skateboarder, GSXR fan, Harley chopper goon, graffiti vandal, Mad Dawg ink slinger, and collector of all kinds of crap: vintage BMX, skateboards, ’80s clothing, and hundreds of shoes. The guy’s a weirdo, but cool as hell—and he knows what’s up, foo!

• Larger scale Japanese tattoos
• Cartoon girl heads
• And the usual floral stuff
