Buku has been a home base on Central Ave since 2013. The kind of shop where the art work speaks for itself and nobody's trying to sell you anything. Just good vibes, and artists doing what they love. The studio is a labor of love, a gallery of Ray’s unique artistic talents, and just the kind of space you want to hang out in.

About The Artist
Born in St. Pete. Inspired by Everything Else.
Ray lives between the water and the studio — surfing, skating, riding, and somewhere in between, making some of the most intentional tattoo work in the Bay. That restlessness shows up in the art. The geometry that never sits still. The color that feels alive. The patterns that pull from everywhere — Hawaii, ancient symbols, the natural world. From the moment you walk into Ray’s studio you are immersed in his eclectic collection of living art. It covers every wall giving the space itself a unique vibe like no other studio out there.
