Because laser removal is expensive. Choose wisely. Choose Chik’n.

For people who want tattoos that feel like them.

Start here!

I’m Chik’n — a tattoo artist with a background on visual communication design. I specialize in custom work, no matter the size, with the goal of helping you tell the story you want to share.

I began tattooing in 2016 and paused when I moved to the U.S. in 2018. Upon returning to tattooing in 2024, I had the opportunity to refine my approach while working alongside Chris Sage, an experience that helped shape my values around precision, creativity, and professionalism.

My approach is rooted in listening and collaborating — working closely with each client to create tattoos that feel intentional and unique. Whether it is a small symbol or a detailed piece, I aim to create work that is both visually strong and personally meaningful. I bring a thoughtful perspective to each design, ensuring your ideas and emotions are translated into lasting art.

Behind the Needle…

  • Miami Rooster

    Nicholas wanted to take home a special memory from Miami, so he chose what impressed him the most; the wild roosters and chickens roaming around our city.

  • Part of the Family

    Diana had to leave her dog behind when she migrated with her two sons. So she wanted a way to always keep him close. Don't worry, they're reunited again.

  • Garden of Love

    Denisse loves her family—it’s one of the most important things in her life. So we created this metaphor, where each flower represents each of her parents and siblings.

  • Life Goals

    Client X, a high school math teacher, was celebrating his 20-year anniversary with his wife. So, he chose to proudly wear the day she was born.

  • Memories

    When Kayla thinks of her dad, she remembers him as someone fun, full of life, and passionate about music. She wanted a tribute that captured his spirit perfectly.

  • Passions

    Ale loves life and has many passions. I’m one of them, tattoos are another, and the most recent addition: skating. So, we mixed it all together.

  • Mother

    For Raúl, family comes first—so he carries everyone’s name. After surviving cancer, he wanted to continue the tribute, this time with flowers.

  • The Last Airbender

    For Pablo, selfless love is what he admires most—so it’s no surprise he connects with Aang and Appa’s deep bond of love and brotherhood. For him, family comes first.

  • More Forever than Ink

    For Leira, Ariel, and Gabriela, saying “family is forever” wasn’t necessary. They wanted matching tattoos that carried each other’s initials.

  • “Laura (Chik’n) was amazing!!! We got anniversary tatts and the studio and all the artist were amazing!!! Their fine line work is wonderful - steady and light handed.”

    Christie McEwen

  • “Very welcoming and patient.”

    Anthony Lama

  • “I love getting a tattoo with Chik’n. Very kind, great customer service. Her hand and technique are very soft on the skin and awesome talent!!”

    Ale

  • “I love it. Thank you again!”

    Kayla

  • “I have two tattoos by Chik’n and already planning the third!”

Make it hurt beautifully

Start here

Step 1. First things first. Tell me your idea.

Let’s talk! Fill out the form and choose how you’d like to share your idea — in person, over a call, text, video chat, or email. Whatever works for you. I’m here to listen.

  • If you feel comfortable moving forward, a deposit will be required to book your appointment and begin the custom design process. This deposit goes toward the final cost of your tattoo.

Step 2. Time to Approve the Ink.

You can make as many changes as you need — what matters most is that we bring your vision to life. It’s your tattoo, and it’s important that you know: the final decision is always yours.

Step 3. Show Up & Glow Up.

Just show up — I’ll take care of the rest. I’ve got the water, snacks, and the mission of making you feel comfortable. All you have to do is relax and enjoy the process.

Let’s make it real.

Still Wondering Stuff?

  • To guarantee your good luck, of course.


    Studies have shown that 99.9% of people who don’t pay their deposit end up stuck in traffic, lose their wallet, or get abducted by aliens the day of their appointment. So, really... it’s for your own safety.

    Okay, okay — joke aside:

    The deposit is simply there to hold your spot and confirm that you’re serious about getting tattooed. It allows me to dedicate time to planning, drawing, and preparing a session just for you. Your deposit goes toward the final cost of your tattoo, and it helps prevent no-shows so I can run a fair and focused schedule.

    Thanks for understanding — and for staying alien-free.

  • Nope! The consultation is 100% free — it’s just a chance to chat, explore your ideas, and make sure we’re aligned creatively.

    If you decide to move forward with a design and schedule your session, that’s when a deposit is required to hold your spot and begin the design process.

  • It depends on the design — anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Timing varies based on complexity and my schedule, but I’ll always keep you updated. One thing’s for sure: you’ll have it before your appointment.

  • Absolutely — the more, the better. We’ll build on it together.

  • If after our conversation we decide to move forward with the design and scheduling, I’ll send you all the information you need to book your appointment — including the deposit details, available dates, and any prep tips.

  • I’ve got you covered. On the day of your tattoo, I’ll give you all the aftercare instructions you need — plus some products to take home and help your tattoo heal beautifully.

  • It’s a tattoo — so yes, but not in a scary way. Most people say it’s way more manageable than they expected.
