awww I'm so sorry for his losses...
he's such a strong person
Nothing but love and respect for Mr. Negrete. Would love to be tattooed by him.
this homie is so opened minded about every style of tattooin and absorbes them...he never hates on a certain style or group....true fukin tattooer to the bone....keep pushin that ink homie
As someone in the educational field, I love the fact that the philosophy of the facility he was sent to shows what youth need that are in trouble. And the fact that some of the staff went to see him at a convention later on was so sweet!
That's a strong man to be even able to talk about his sons that have passed openly. Seems like a really great dude.
Freddy Negrete is definitely an OG.. love that he embraces the new school as well.. this man must have endless crazy stories..
Drunk guy: *gets stabbed in the neck*
This guy: *cracks up*
Booboo gave me all of my tattoos and I can 100% confirm that he spent his time with me on my smaller tattoos and didn’t shame me for what I wanted. He is a bright light now missing from this world. Great interview, Freddy is an icon.
His sons passing breaks my heart. He seems like a great man.
tortellini - breaks my heart, I knew Boo Boo for about 10 years.
Guys like this have been around so long that they are masters
Wow... MAAAAD respect for this guy... you could easily make an amazing movie out of his life
A legend in the tattoo game
That my friend, is a fact.
Legend! RIP both sons!
Love this man he’s a legend much respect takes a lot to still push on after all that shit he went through
Much respect and deepest condolences.
The title would have been better if it was
From inmate to icon
His truth is so filled with sorrow. My heart hurts for his losses and I praise his ability maintain himself and move forward without bitterness.
They don’t make men like this anymore.
Love this guy! I have so much respect for him and his journey through life.
The last few minutes of the interview was so heavy. Keep your head up big homie!
Legend of the tattoo world and just the art world in general
Stay strong, and keep moving forward, you are a legend.
Freddy has mad respect in the scene, love all of his work! thank u for bringing chicano ink to the light!
I like hearing freddy because , he learned, tattooing in the varrio and in prison , so did I, I hate the term scratchers , but we actually created the Chicano black and gray , fine line single needle style.
Dam that was deep. Your an inspiration. By now means am I a great like you. But I've been tattoing for years off and on. I personally know your sorrows. I lost my boys 14 years ago. Stay up homie, like they say. What doesnt kill us makes us stronger. Keep on with that bad ass tattooing. God Bless you in the fight to push on.
DOPE INTERVIEW (R.I.P BOO BOO)
I’m saying a prayer for you, that you might find relief from your sorrows more often than not. God bless. The early part of story resonates with me because I was the child of parents who were in and out of prison while I found my own troubles in my own beginning. To see your success is a wonderful story.
Straight veterano! Carries himself in a good manner and is a Orignater of this black and gray tatts ! Shout out to Freddy the OG
This man has been through sooo much in his life, bless him. Much love
You are an absolute inspiration Mr Negrete.
Now that was an interesting video, Inked. My heart goes out to Freddy, I can't imagine out living your kids. But damn, Jack Rudy, Paul? Ed? Freddy? You guys are tattoo royalty. I remember buying the tattoo magazines, my god, twenty-five years ago? Thirty? Making up for lost time now in my 50s and covering the skin worth putting ink into.
We need more OG's on here talkN about their tattooing experience
Agreed bro, but I don’t think Inked will do that. Just looking at the videos they put out seems like they are really stuck on “quirky” artist. Which is shame because you guys like Chuco Moreno that are fucking great artists.
That was a truly remarkable interview. Only the humble are worth listening too.
Very cool guy with a great story
i want a laugh now cry later tattoo from freddy, nothing but the best...
Much respect to you sir,great interview
It is amazing how Freddy & Isaiah's voices & mannerisms are identical 💕
This brother is a legend in out of prison ! His black grey skills were amazing 30 years ago now there legendary! I wish I could someday meet greet him I really hope his humble!?
He’s The Godfather of black and grey a real innovator rip his two sons !!
He a real one gonna keep trying on this art till I make it💯respect
Don't ever give up.
I wonder what he charges per hour. And what his waiting list looks like
Robert Macias 150$ AN HOUR
These og guys are not like the pompous twats that charge $1500 shop min plus $500 per hour...they love tattooing for the craft...not the money, they have principals
Michael who tf charges 500 and hour💀💀💀
johnathan medlock bang bang studio new york, those twats who do micro single needle tats on new york doofuses and other morons with far more money than brains. It is a $1500 shop minimum, for 30 minute tattoos
nothing wrong with charging a minimum price to stop all the dumb butterfly and crappy tats.
Good to see Freddy in good spirits
Freddy's life would be a GREAT feel good movie.
It’s been 3 years… hope his constant sorrow is gone and he’s found some happiness. ❤️
Always inspiring! Much love and respect from AZ!
He chatted to me in Shamrock a few years ago, just a nice dude.
Hey Freddy,
Hope you have been well, miss ya. Great video here.
❤️
Those last few lines were quite the thought to leave on
this man use to baby sit me. Him & my dad were in the same gang together. Sangra. Such a cool man tattooed my whole family and still keep in touch till this day.
Freddy, Bob Tyrell, and Paul Booth are on my bucket list to get tatted by
