Hi, I'm Maria!

Raised in Miami, I was surrounded by culture, color, and energy — all of which still influence my work today. Art has always come naturally to me, from drawing and painting as a kid to eventually becoming a tattoo artist. Tattooing allowed me to combine my love for creating with my love for working with people, making it the perfect balance between creativity and human connection.

With over 18 years of tattooing experience, I specialize in fine-line tattoos and cover-ups. I’ve recently moved to Nashville and I’m excited to start new roots here while sharing the influences that have shaped my work. I truly enjoy what I do for a living, and whether you’re looking for a tattoo or custom artwork, I’d love to create something for you!
