About Us

 

Blacksmith 3D-Print displays is a veteran and Hispanic owned business created and ran by Rafael Herrero. The idea was a simple one conceived in a tattoo shop like many others with his wife, whom is a tattoo artist herself. As they gazed around at the different workstations of their different artist friends, an idea began to brew. The idea truly began to gather steam as Rafael acquired his first 3D printer; what if these artists could display their tools of the trade in fittingly creative ways? Thus, Rafael spent days learning the programs he would need to use. It was a process, that was for sure, but at no point did Rafael ever throw in the towel, he kept learning all he would need, all to then finally begin developing prototypes for tattoo machine holders. Each holder was made with their respective artist in mind, and were all received joyously, awarding Rafael's friends and wife with equally creative ways to display their tools of the trade. 

Fueled by a love for the art of tattoo, Rafael then developed holders for tattoo ink bottles, carefully measured to make sure every type of bottle would be held well. Now like many other small businesses, Rafael hopes to be able to share his love for the art of tattoos by making custom and handmade holders for tattoo machines and ink bottles for other artists. Blacksmith 3D-Print displays was born from a love of the art and a desire to give artists further ways of displaying their unique creative souls.
