Talk about Tattoo Ideas with Mia!
What made you want to be a tattoo artist or when did you decide?
Growing up i knew when i was 7 years old i wanted to become a tattoo artist i would walk around with a pen and a “flash book” and “tattoo” my friends and family it was my favorite thing to do!
What’s your background? How did you get started?
I grew up in a Chicano house hold my dad was a graffiti artist an the time and my grandfather (Armando Nunez) is one of the founders of Chicano Park and to this day still does artwork for Chicano park. Although i don’t talk much about my background I’m incredibly proud to say i was raised with art all around me and never discouraged to draw paint or sculpt.
In 2015 i graduated high school and soon after went to college i dropped out after a semester to peruse my dreams of becoming a tattoo artist and soon after found an apprenticeship, there i was taught all the basics on sanitation lining and shading, after that i learned to do portraits all on my own.
