““Stories that become art on the skin.”
Get To Know Ihsel …
I am Ihsel Hinojosa and I began my tattoo journey in August 2022. I spent a full year practicing before dedicating myself fully to this profession, because from the beginning I was clear about one thing: I wanted every person who got tattooed by me to leave happy and satisfied with having my art on their skin.
Since high school, art has been my most natural language; it's always been what I excelled at. I don't follow idols or try to copy anyone, although I admire many works. My inspiration comes from the connection with each client and what we create together. What I enjoy most is knowing that each tattoo is a little piece of me that someone chooses to carry with them forever.
Outside of the studio, I love dance, weaving, and photography; each of these passions also informs my artistic vision. I enjoy meeting people, hearing stories, and transforming those experiences into traces that remain etched on the skin.
For me, tattooing isn't just about aesthetics: it's a bridge between my creative world and the lives of those who trust my work.
