Hi, my names Lina! I’m a tattoo artist based in Phoenix, Arizona. I specialize in bold & bright tattooing with a heavy focus on pet portraits as well as other animal related subject matter.

It wasn’t until recently that I started shifting my focus to pet tattoos. I wanted to find a way to blend my love of tattooing with my love of animals— and over the years I’ve found that pet portraits are what feel the most rewarding to me.

I also wanted to be a safe space for those going through pet loss to process their grief. While I wasn’t anticipating the amount of memorial tattoos I would end up doing, its something that I feel grateful to be entrusted with and that I strive to be mindful of when creating a tattoo for someone.

Whether its a memorial, or a silly tattoo of your pet in a hot dog costume— It’s not just another tattoo to me. I truly love what I do and couldn’t do it without you.

Outside of tattooing— You’ll find me hanging out with my husband, our two cats, and our Pomeranian named Basil (who you’ll notice is a huge influence in my work!)

Because of her, I’m a big dog nerd. She is my first dog, and has not been the easiest for a first time dog guardian— but she sparked a passion for learning about dog behavior, advocacy, and training. So if you’re into that kind of thing, I LOVE to learn from others or maybe even get the chance to share something I’ve learned along the way.

I love that tattooing allows me to connect with people that cherish the bond they have with their pets, and that I get to play a small role in their story together.
