Cooking with PARSE
I am a person who deeply values time, because I know it is the most valuable thing we can share. The creative process is my favorite part, since every person who comes to me offers more than just an idea: they share their time, their story, and the personal emotions behind each design. Being able to connect with that is incredibly meaningful to me, both professionally and personally.
Every project holds the same importance for me, regardless of its size or complexity. Each piece of work represents a story, an intention, and a unique energy, and I treat them all with the respect and dedication they deserve.
My Story
My beginnings
Born in Colombia, my artistic path began long before I ever held a tattoo machine. From an early age, I was drawn to creative expression, exploring disciplines such as music and sculpture, which shaped my sensitivity, discipline, and vision as an artist. My Colombian roots became a constant source of inspiration—deeply connected to symbolism, spirituality, and storytelling. It was during my time in Spain that I discovered tattooing, a medium that immediately resonated with me and allowed me to merge technical precision with emotional depth.
heyday
As my career evolved, tattooing became more than a profession—it became my language. I developed a distinctive style focused on fine lines, micro-realism, and vertically composed designs rich in symbolism. Influenced by pre-Columbian cultures and Hawaiian totems, my work took on a mystical and spiritual identity. Each tattoo became a collaboration, a personal narrative translated into art. During this stage, my artistic voice matured, and my work began to stand out for its detail, balance, and meaningful composition.
Present
Now based in Los Angeles, California, I continue to refine my technique and expand my artistic vision. Today, my focus goes beyond aesthetics—I aim to create deeply personal, one-of-a-kind pieces that honor each client’s story, emotions, and intentions. Every tattoo is approached with respect, sensitivity, and purpose, transforming life moments into lasting art. My journey is ongoing, driven by constant growth, cultural inspiration, and a commitment to creating tattoos that carry meaning far beyond the skin.

What care to take
During the first few days, it’s essential to keep your tattoo clean and protected to avoid infections. Gently wash the area with warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap, then pat it dry without rubbing. Applying a thin layer of the ointment recommended by your tattoo artist will help keep the skin hydrated and support proper healing. Avoid touching the tattoo with dirty hands to prevent irritation or contamination.
As days go by, you’ll notice the skin beginning to renew itself; slight peeling or itching is normal, but you should avoid scratching to prevent damaging the design. Keeping the area well-moisturized and following your artist’s instructions will ensure a sharper and longer-lasting result. During this period, avoid direct sunlight and places like pools or saunas, as they can negatively affect the healing process.
- Wash your tattoo twice a day with mild soap and warm water.
- Apply a thin layer of the healing ointment recommended by your tattoo artist.
- Avoid sun exposure, excessive sweating, and submerging the tattoo in water.
- Do not pick at scabs or scratch the skin; let it heal naturally.
During the second week, the tattoo will enter its final healing phase. The skin may feel tight or slightly dry; continue to moisturize the area without applying too much product. Maintain proper hygiene and keep avoiding any activities that may compromise the tattooed area. With the right care, the colors and lines will remain sharp and vibrant, ensuring an optimal long-term result.
