Tommy Rivera is a Cheyenne-based tattooer at New Western Tattoo who believes the best tattoos don’t just look good—they mean something.

His work is rooted in storytelling and craftsmanship: bold black-and-grey realism, smooth shaded portraits, animals with character, and high-contrast pieces that hold up for the long run. He also enjoys vivid color projects inspired by pop culture, comic art, anime, and gaming, creating tattoos that feel dynamic, intentional, and built specifically for the individual wearing them.

What sets Tommy apart is his approach to people. He prioritizes listening, collaboration, and making sure every client feels respected and understood from the first conversation to the final wipe-down. Whether you come in with a fully formed idea or just a feeling you can’t quite put into words, his goal is simple: turn your vision into a tattoo you’re proud to wear—and an experience you’ll feel good about from start to finish.
