Bio
Chris Nuñez is an American tattoo artist who is the co-owner (with Ami James) of the Miami, Florida tattoo parlour known as LoveHate, the subject of the reality television series Miami Ink.
Chris is of Cuban descent and grew up in Miami. He entered into the realm of tattooing after beginning his career as a graffiti artist.
At 21, Chris packed his bags for a short trip to Brazil and ended up staying for five years. He then traveled throughout Europe for three years, which enabled him to work with all of his favorite tattoo artists. The experience expanded both his artistic sense and his knowledge of tattooing.
Chris' father died when he was young. He got his first tattoo, a hand-poked tattoo of a cross, at age 16.
Besides tattooing, he likes to have a good time and enjoys being the life of the party.
