Hello, I’m Yaya
In 2019, I began my tattoo career at an upscale shop in Newport Beach, where I discovered my passion and talent for fine-line tattoos, specializing in vintage-style illustrations of animals and plants. Delicate botanicals and timeless wildlife designs have truly become my signature — and illustrating nature will always be my “say yes to the dress” moment as your tattoo artist.
Over the years, I’ve traveled across the U.S. for guest spots and conventions, connecting with incredible clients and artists along the way.I’m beyond excited to share that I’ll be planting my roots in Fort Worth in Spring 2026. I can’t wait to create beautiful, meaningful pieces for this new community!
I look forward to making sweet ink with you.
