I'm a Mexican tattoo artist. I've been tattooing for about twenty years, from Morelia to Los Angeles to the Caribbean. Now I live in Puerto Morelos, and I draw the jungle, the sea and the Maya world onto skin.

My story

About twenty years, three schools, one sea

I come from Morelia, in Michoacan. I started tattooing about twenty years ago, and I became the first woman tattooing in my hometown.

I worked in studios such as Piramide Tattoo, focused on the Mexican pre-Hispanic style and the art of indigenous cultures. Then I tattooed at Mantra for more than ten years, focused on Japanese and Oriental work.

In 2020 I started working at Balam Tattoo in Los Angeles, California. There I developed my own styles further and tattooed clients from around the world.

Today I live in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo. My art is about the nature of the jungle, the sea and Maya culture. I'm fascinated by mermaids and the creatures of the sea, and they are my signature.
