Mondo Rivera.

Certified Laser Technician· CLT Certified

Mondo Rivera is the guy who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. He originally joined the team as a management assistant in 2014 before apprenticing under Saxon Hatchett and becoming a Certified Laser Technician through the Texas Laser And Aesthetics Academy in 2017. Today, Mondo manages the studio’s day-to-day operations while also working with a full roster of laser removal clients. Whether you’re looking to completely remove a tattoo or fade it for a cover-up, Mondo brings years of experience and a straightforward, personalized approach to every treatment.

TattooLaser Removal

Mondo works with clients across Austin on custom tattoo ideas, reference-driven pieces, and placement-aware designs that fit the body instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all flash design.

The best way to start is with a consultation. Bring reference images, size notes, placement ideas, and any must-have details so Pigment Tattoo can confirm artist fit, timing, and the next step for the piece.

About Mondo

How Mondo works

Mondo is a certified laser technician at Pigment Tattoo (CLT Certified). Mondo's focus runs through Tattoo and Laser Removal, and every piece starts with a real conversation about placement, scale, and how the design needs to age over time. Clients come from North Austin, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Leander, Lakeway, and Pflugerville, and most pieces are scheduled one to three months out from the consult. Bring references that show what you like and what you want to avoid; that brief is what shapes the first drawing.

The brief

Reference, size, placement

Every consult starts with what you’re bringing in. Reference images, measurements or a rough size, and the placement on the body. From thereMondo can flag what will translate well, what won’t, and how the piece needs to flex with movement over the next ten years.

The draw

Custom, never flash

Mondo draws to your brief, not from a wall sheet. First drawings go out a week or two after the consult. From there the work moves through a revision round, sizing, stencil placement on the day, and a session plan that accounts for the area, the skin, and how detailed the line work needs to hold up over time.

Aftercare

Heal, follow-up, refresh

Leave the studio with a written aftercare plan specific to the placement and style. Touch-up policy covers the first session’s work. Future refresh or cover-up sessions are available down the road as the piece ages, andMondo can talk through what that timeline looks like during the consult so there are no surprises later.
