Being a fineline tattoo artist has been an incredible journey that started in the Netherlands and has flourished here in Mexico. I began my career back home, developing my skills and falling in love with the precision and artistry that fine-line tattoos require. I developed a passion for creating detailed, delicate designs that seem to blend with the skin, always pushing for the finest, thinnest lines.
When my husband Yass and I moved to Mexico, I brought my craft with me, not knowing how it would work out. Mexico has offered me opportunities to grow and connect in ways I hadn't imagined. Playa del Carmen, with its amazing energy, became the perfect place to refine my skills. Tattooing here has allowed me to reach people who appreciate the art of simplicity, those who understand that a tattoo doesn’t have to be big to be powerful.
I love the challenge of working with delicate details. It’s not just about putting ink on skin, it’s about creating art that is subtle but speaks out. I strive for precision and lightness in every tattoo, and it’s incredibly fulfilling when clients trust me with their ideas.
One of the things I treasure about being a tattoo artist is the freedom it brings. My tools and skills are with me wherever I go. Whether in a studio in the Netherlands or here in Mexico, I carry my passion, always ready to create something beautiful.
I also find joy in teaching others. Sharing the art of fine-line tattoos has been a rewarding part of my journey. Watching someone discover their passion for this delicate work and seeing their confidence grow is wonderful.
What started as a small studio practice in the Netherlands has become a part of my life story here in Mexico. Every tattoo tells a story, and every client adds joy to my journey. I’m endlessly grateful for the ability to do what I love and help others discover the beauty in fineline.
