I’m Luisa with Ink du Arte and this is my story..

I was born in Maracaibo, Venezuela, and raised in a small town named Mene Grande, where I first fell in love with drawing as a kid. Art always felt natural to me, but it wasn’t until high school—after moving to the U.S.—that I truly reconnected with it through daily art classes. Around the same time, I started getting my first small tattoos, and something about the process instantly clicked. It was more than just an interest, it felt like something I was meant to be part of.

For a while, I explored other paths, trying to find something that felt right. But no matter where life took me, I kept coming back to tattoos. The work of Karla, now my mentor, inspired me deeply. In 2024, I reached out to her, hoping to learn. She didn’t make it easy, but she believed in commitment and told me to prove mine. So I did.

Since then, I’ve dedicated myself fully to this craft. From learning the basics and building my portfolio, to launching Ink du Arte, this journey has been shaped by persistence, creativity, and the support of people who saw my potential. I now work under Karla’s guidance at Pink for the Soul, focusing on fine-line tattoos that feel delicate, personal, and timeless.

My focus is on intentional designs and my ability to create a calm, welcoming space where clients feel seen and heard. I’m most proud of building a connection with each person I tattoo, I believe more than visual, my art is emotional and personal.
