Specialties

What Ally is known for

She works across everything from individual pieces to full sleeves, leg sleeves and back pieces, and often freehands floral and ornamental elements directly on the skin when the project calls for it. Ally works exclusively in black and grey.

Floral

Peonies, hibiscus, ferns and wildflowers laid out to follow the lines of the body, often drawn directly on the skin.

Mandala & Ornamental

Radial, symmetrical designs in dotwork and linework, plus filigree, decorative frames and ornamental linework, alone or woven through floral and large-scale compositions.

Geometric

Structured patterns and sacred-geometry elements built around your anatomy.

Large-Scale & Sleeves

Full arm and leg sleeves and back pieces planned as one composition.

Scale

Sleeves, back pieces and large compositions

Full arm sleeves, leg sleeves and full back pieces are a core part of Ally's practice. A large piece is planned as a single composition, with placement, flow and spacing mapped to the body before the first session, then built across several sessions.

Process

Drawn on the body, stenciled where it counts

For floral and ornamental designs, Ally often draws directly on the skin so the composition follows the natural lines of the body. Where precision matters, such as the symmetry of a mandala or the structure of a geometric piece, she works from a stencil. Every design is custom.

Ally came to tattooing with a background in fine arts and studio art, which shows in the balance and depth of her compositions. As co-owner she helps set the studio's standard: custom-only work, designed for the individual client.

Questions

Questions about working with Ally

Does Ally tattoo in color?

Ally works exclusively in black and grey. For color, Alejandro Terrero, Tiko Fuentes and Tiago Carrero specialize in color realism, and Nick Amaya is a strong fit for vibrant psychedelic and surreal work.

Can Ally do a full sleeve or back piece?

Yes. Full arm sleeves, leg sleeves and full back pieces are a core part of her work. Large pieces are planned as one composition and tattooed over multiple sessions.

Does Ally freehand every design?

Not every one. She often freehands floral and ornamental elements directly on the skin when the project calls for it, and uses stencils where symmetry and precision matter, as in mandalas and geometric work.

Is fine line one of Ally's main styles?

No. Her linework is part of floral, ornamental and geometric pieces, but fine line is not her primary style. For delicate fine line or micro realism, Dido Lima and Kim are the studio's specialists.

Does Ally do cover-ups?

Sometimes, depending on the size, darkness and placement of the existing tattoo. Cover-ups are not her focus. Alejandro Terrero, Tiko Fuentes and Tiago Carrero take them on more regularly.
