📍A Coruña, Spain

I began my path in the tattoo world in 2008, working in Bogotá studios doing piercing, management, and sterilization at a time when social media offered little artistic support. I grew up surrounded by tattoo artists who learned from books, and their respect and creativity inspired me to teach myself. In 2013, I created my first tattoo, and although it wasn’t common to see women tattooing, I pushed forward. Life eventually brought me to Spain, where I strengthened my career. Today, I run my own studio in La Coruña, La Tatuajería, and together with my partner, Juan Bautista, I manage Tatúo – Escuela de Tatuadores, a school dedicated to teaching tattooing and piercing.

Throughout my career, I’ve participated in tattoo conventions in Colombia, Spain, Germany, and the United States, experiences that broadened my artistic vision and allowed me to learn from outstanding professionals. In Spain, I won two awards that strengthened my work and presence in the industry. I’ve tattooed in Colombia, Switzerland, Germany, and the United States, exploring different cultures and techniques that helped shape my style. I especially enjoy creating micro-realistic pet portraits, a type of tattoo that connects me emotionally with each client. I also work in floral styles, which let me balance detail and softness while infusing my personal sensitivity into every piece.
