Born and raised in San Diego, Lilyana developed a passion for tattoos early in life, inspired by her mother, a talented tattoo artist. From the age of 12, she was immersed in the vibrant world of tattooing, learning the intricacies of the industry under her mother’s guidance. Recently, she embraced her heritage fully, stepping into the role of an official apprentice at her mother’s shop over the past six months.

Lilyana is particularly fond of American traditional tattoos, drawn to their bold lines and vivid colors. Her designs often feature floral motifs, reflecting her love for color and dynamic compositions. Beyond tattoos, she is an avid artist with a penchant for drawing and ceramics since she was 13, often preferring to create her artwork freehand.
