Mía Ixchel Hdz Aguirre

Tattoo Artist & Street Painter

Hi! My name is Mía, I’m 10 years old and… I’m a tattoo artist in training. If dinosaurs were still alive, I’d probably have one as a pet. I’m obsessed with reptiles and anything wild.

I’ve been around art and tattoos for as long as I can remember. I started painting and drawing at a very young age, and one day someone asked me for a tattoo — how could I say no? Since then, I only tattoo people who know me well and ask specifically for me — they’re my favorite guinea pigs.

I love getting involved in community projects, finding ways to help, and especially figuring out how to make my own money

I’ve painted rocks to sell them, bought chocolates and little things to resell, and I’m always looking for new ideas. I like being independent so I don’t have to ask my mom for everything.

I’ve already had the chance to visit other countries, compete in robotics tournaments, and even be mayor for a day. Who knows… maybe I’ll be a famous artist one day, or take over INKaholic — or maybe I’ll open my own studio. For now, you’ll probably see me at the shop painting, singing, cleaning… or tattooing.
