I'm a tattoo artist from Mexico City, with a background in Film and Electronic music. I apprenticed at the Rock Shop in Mexico City’s Coyoacan starting at 15 years old. I specialize in illustrative blackwork tattoos. Abstract tattoos and botanical/scientific illustrations are some of my favorite styles. For me, tattooing is a space of radical vulnerability, in which trust and mutual respect is crucial for artist-client collaboration. Coming from a heavily male dominated tattoo background, creating a safe, judgement-free space for clients to claim ownership of their bodies is a crucial part of my work. My process focuses on self reflection and somatic exploration, so that we can create art that feels natural and tailored to the body. |
