integrity in ink: angel inkz.

i never tattoo the same design twice. every piece i create is one-of-a-kind and tailored specifically to you. your tattoo will reflect your story, your style, and your energy. the only exception is flash tattoos on special event days, where designs are pre-drawn and shared. outside of that, your ink is yours alone. you’ll never walk into a party and see someone else wearing your tattoo. each piece is crafted to maintain its uniqueness and integrity, just like the person wearing it.

artistry journey.

i’m a self-taught tattoo artist with 2 years of experience at it always hurts tattoo studio (4 years in total), where i specialize in bold american traditional and expressive japanese neo-traditional styles. each piece i create is rooted in intention, designed to tell a story and leave a lasting impression on the skin, and in the soul, of my clients here in houston.

experience.

my artistic background.

a southwest houston native whose tattoo artistry is rooted in the vibrant and dynamic culture of her hometown. drawing inspiration from the local art, music, and skateboarding scene, i specialize in american traditional, japanese neo-traditional, pin-ups and black and grey illustrative while also creating unique flash work as well as custom designs.

creative passion.

before I ever picked up a tattoo machine, i was a painter... and my first art show, getting older, led to several of my pieces being sold to high-ticket collectors. that experience laid the foundation for my creative path and instilled in me a deep respect for meaningful, lasting art. since transitioning to tattooing, i’ve brought that same passion and intention to the craft, working at conventions across texas, including the renowned villain arts. these experiences continue to shape my work and fuel my drive to create bold, impactful tattoos that tell a story.
