<p>Chris Nunez is a Cuban-American tattoo artist and reality TV personality. He is most famous for being the star of TLC's reality hit series, Miami Ink. When Nunez was a <a href="/biography/chris-nunez">teenager</a>, he began painting graffiti, which his father supported as long as it included an image rather than just his name. As time progressed, he came across tattooing and fell in love with it right away. He went on to complete an apprenticeship at a nearby tattoo parlor. Nunez credits his working experience for helping him work his way up from background work, such as cleaning, running errands, and fixing machines, to learning how to tattoo and the fundamentals of tattooing. Following the death of his father when he was 18 years old, Nunez began to act out in his late adolescence and early twenties, and this continued into his thirties.</p>

<p>Nunez received his first tattoo, the name of his parents when he was sixteen years old. He was born and raised in Miami, Florida, and began his career as a tattoo artist at the age of 18. He decided to take a short planned visit to Brazil when he was 21 but ended up staying there for the next four years of his life. While living in Brazil, Chris started his own tattoo parlor. He then traveled to Europe, where he explored several countries and cultures for the next three years, working as a tattoo artist the entire time. These experiences helped Nunez develop artistically and emotionally, for which his family, friends, and clients are grateful. Nunez then felt it was time to return to the United States. Before returning to Miami, he traveled briefly throughout the country, visiting tattoo parlors located everywhere.</p>

<p>Eventually, his travels led him back to his hometown of Miami. There, he hooked up with his longtime <a href="/biography/ami-james">friend</a>, <a href="/biography/ami-james">Ami</a>, and the two of them collaborated to open up a tattoo parlor, which they named Miami Ink. One day, a television producer came to the shop for some new 'body art.' Immediately recognizing the potential for human interest, he worked with Nunez and <a href="/biography/ami-james">Ami</a> to shoot a television pilot.</p>

<h2>Marriage/wife</h2>

<p>Chris was married to Carole-Anne Leonard. After they got divorced, he was in a relationship with Margarita Anthony. His relationship with Anthony ended for undisclosed reasons. Nunez is the <a href="/biography/chris-nunez">father</a> of two children: Andreanne Nunez, also known as Kali, and Anthony Nunez. Chris Nunez is married to Carole-Anne Leonard, his longtime girlfriend. Carole-Anne prefers to keep a low profile and leads a private life away from the public eye. They have been together for many years and recently tied the knot. They are happily married and enjoy spending time together.</p>

<h2>Career and Net Worth</h2>

<p>After starting out as a graffiti artist, Nunez transitioned to tattooing, though he continued to work as a construction worker on the side even after opening a tattoo shop with friends. He was the <a href="/biography/chris-nunez">owner</a> of the Handcrafted Tattoo and Art Gallery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where he worked as a tattoo artist. Liberty City Tattoo is owned by him and his wife, <a href="/biography/ami-james">Ami James</a>, who later opened Love Hate Tattoos on Miami Beach. He is currently based in Wynwood, Miami, Florida, United States. The TLC network's reality show Miami Ink featured him as a cast member, and he later rose to prominence as a judge on the Spike network's reality competition Ink Master, which pitted tattoo artists against one another in challenges that tested their tattoo and related artistic abilities.</p>

<p>Ridgeline Empire, in which he has a stake and through which he owns the subsidiaries Ink Skins and Upset Gentlemen, as well as an animation studio that has two animated series in development as of 2014: Hoodbrats and Toothians, is his primary source of income. Each week, Chris Nunez's reality TV program, Miami Ink, takes its audience into the world of Miami Beach's busiest tattoo parlor, where the artists and their clients are as colorful as the ink from which their tattoos are born. Miami Ink is popular with audiences of all ages, ethnicities, genders, and economic backgrounds. When production is not filming new episodes, the artists still invite the public to visit the shop. Many of the customers who visit the shop seek for Nunez to do their tattoos.</p>

<p>In 1990, Chris became an apprentice under Lou Sciberras. Initially, Chris was a graffiti writer. He walked into art school, walked out of art school, and into Tattoos by Lou in his hometown of Miami. "When I met Lou, I showed him some of my sketches, and he said, 'Hey, why don't you come back tomorrow, kid?' <a href="/biography/ami-james">Ami</a> [James] started a week after me, and Emerson [Forth] also was there the same week, so the three of us who are still tattooing today all started our apprenticeships simultaneously. Lou loved Emerson and <a href="/biography/ami-james">Ami</a>, and I was just there to do the "bitch work" of the shop," he said in an interview for Inked magazine. "My apprenticeship was running the shop from top to bottom," Chris added. "Before I even got to do a tattoo, I spent months making needles, building click chords from nickel and a paper clip, cleaning tubes, making stencils, taking payments, and selling tattoos. I also had to do the "bitch work" of getting coffee, washing cars and picking up updates—all for Lou, none for myself. But at the end of every night, I got to be the 18-year-old kid who got to go to the coolest spots in the city and hang out with every club owner and hot model. That was life." Chris was also a judge on the Spike TV network's reality TV competition, "Ink Master," in which tattoo artists compete in challenges assessing their tattoos and related artistic skills. Nunez spends his free time developing ideas for a new bar lounge in which he is an <a href="/biography/chris-nunez">investor</a>. This social venue plays a significant role in future episodes of MIAMI INK. The platform allows Nunez to show off his fondness for Miami's nightlife and its beautiful women.</p>
