About

Ronnie Byerly began his professional journey into the tattoo industry in a small tattoo shop inside of a mall in Aurora, CO in 2000. From Aurora, CO to Alamogordo, NM to San Antonio, TX, Ronnie finally found his way to tattooing in Houston, TX in 2002. Ronnie traveled to work in many cities throughout New Mexico, Texas, Colorado, California, Nevada, Florida and Pennsylvania over the next several years, learning from a wide variety of well known and respected artists. In 2009 Ronnie became a father in the same week that he sustained nearly life ending but ultimately, life altering injuries that convinced him to go ahead and plant roots in Houston, TX. In the coming years Ronnie faced much adversity, as life is known to throw at all of us. This led Ronnie into the world of MMA. While Muay Thai absorbed the majority of Ronnie’s focus in the early years, Jiu Jitsu began to absorb the majority of his focus into his professional MMA career. Amidst and finally into retirement of his short professional MMA career, Ronnie took on a part time position of coaching Muay Thai at his Jiu Jitsu academy, Gracie Humaita Conroe. Booth rental to tattoo in other locations in the greater Houston area started making less and less sense. It was time for successful, larger scale, business ownership and operation. The idea for Kimura Tattoo Company was born. Thus, Ronnie is very excited to welcome you to Kimura Tattoo Company. Ronnie is happy to share his more than two decades of professional experience with you.
