JESSICA PACHECO

Tattoo artist

I speak: English

Many people say that to be a tattoo artist, it has to be your one passion. But for as long as I can remember, I've been fascinated by all forms of artistic expression. From street art to animation and fine art, I was oddly intrigued by artistic talent at a young age. The process amazed me. 

To this day, I can watch people paint, draw, and tattoo for hours on end. So for me, my passion is seeing art come to life. It never sat right with me to practice just one artistic medium. So I chose to set as many goals as I wanted and crush them all!

My path to tattooing wasn't direct. I earned a degree in graphic design and animation, then continued my education and obtained three different teaching certifications. Now, I currently teach interactive design to high school students while pursuing my career as a tattoo artist.

While I’m open to most styles, I love tattooing characters, flowers, black-and-grey realism, and matching couple’s tattoos. My ultimate goal is to specialize in both realistic and neo-traditional portraits. I'm grateful to everyone who has been a part of my journey, and I look forward to expanding my clientele and portfolio.
