Hi, I’m Cris! |˶˙ᵕ˙ )ﾉﾞ

I’m a tattoo artist from San Diego, CA. Though I was born and raised in Tijuana, MX!

I started my apprenticeship in May 2021 and started tattooing in May 2022. I like to dabble in different styles, but I feel like the common denominator between all my tattoos is soft shading & dainty lines!

I’m passionate about making everyone feel comfortable during their tattoo appointment, chatting with people, & obviously, tattooing!

When I’m not tattooing, I’m probably playing videogames, junk journaling, or trying out a new coffee spot!
