Hello! My name is Maria Velez. 

I’m originally from Washington state but moved down to Florida after high school. Most of my life has consisted of moving around a lot so I love to travel and explore what the world offers. I moved to Atlanta last year with high hopes of becoming a tattoo artist, and my dreams finally came true. Ive been drawing since I was 5 years old, and began drawing people (mainly faces) which then led to so much more. I feel most inspired with my art when I’m watching horror films, listening to music and spending time in the outdoors. I specialize in mainly black and grey neo-traditional and fine line. Creating pieces that symbolize both life and death, anything from flowers, skulls, and lady faces are my favorite things.
