As a beginner, I can’t even tell you how many names, stars and butterflies I did. It happened naturally as my career progressed. Then, is it safe to say that this was the style you always wanted to focus on, or did that sort of happen naturally as your career progressed?
When I started tattooing, I felt most comfortable and excited to work with black and grey because I have the most experience with it and I found it to be much easier to work with and to understand. Every single thing I drew was with a #2 pencil, so I had a lot of knowledge when working with black and gray tones and gradients. Tiffany Tattooz: Before I became a tattoo artist, I was a pencil artist. What was it about this style that first caught your attention? Ink Latino: For the most part, your preferred style of tattooing seems to be black and grey. Although Tiffany does stay busy - currently she’s booked a year in advance - she did find some time to answer some questions for Ink Latino about her preferred tattooing styles, the inspiration behind her art, her shop and staff, her upcoming projects, and she even let us in on what fellow - and world-renowned - Boricua artist she goes to when she’s looking to get tattooed. Today, the talented and savvy Latina is the proud owner of Ink Gallery in Woodland Park, New Jersey, which attracts a clientele that stretches across the map. Along the way, the New Jersey-based artist even landed a spot on Oxygen Network’s tattoo competition show, Best Ink, which helped boost her growing brand and extend her already long list of clients. However, determined to turn tragedy into triumph, and with her aunt in her heart, Tiffany continued to pursue her dream of becoming a successful tattoo artist and one of the biggest names in the industry.
