If you can find Adrian Martinez and Max Lowe’s hiding spot, you will be greeted by the sweet buzzing of a tattoo gun and the smell of blood, sweat and tears. The Hiding Spot is located at 215 W Holly Street, and gaining entry requires patrons to navigate a maze of doors, codes and corridors.
Martinez’s unwavering perseverance has shaped him into the tattoo artist he is today, and his commitment to his craft has pushed both his personal and professional growth. Martinez has no plan of stopping anytime soon. With business already flourishing one year after opening, The Hiding Spot continues to warmly welcome both new and returning clients.
