Instagram & TikTok I’m Abi Acuna; I’m a Mexican Artist from Tijuana living in California. I have been into art since I was young, I’m the only one in my family who does this, and I feel very proud of myself.

What advice would you give to someone about getting his or her first tattoo? (A tattoo virgin)

Tattoos are easy to get but hard to get rid of it!

What did your family and friends think about you getting into the

tattoo business? First of all, I never thought about getting into the tattoo business. It was something that happened. My parents supported me not in the best way lol.! But yes, they still support me.

What would you say is your favorite part

of the job? I do what I love to do... art!

What was it that initially sparked your interest in tattooing?

When I got my first tattoo.

Who and what influences you to create your work?

Good question... I would say everything... everything around me as people, nature, animals, insects.

Are there any tattoos you would refuse to do? (face, private

areas, etc.) No, not really. But if you want to get a face tattoo, you better think about it!

What is the most important advice you can give someone new to the art of tattooing?

It’s not easy, but it is not impossible. If you going to do tattoos, do it with passion! Be proud of yourself!

Are you thinking of getting more

tattoos? Yes!

Besides tattoos, what else do you do?

I paint, I make stickers for my clients, and soon I’ll be making t-shirts with my new logo! ✕
