Welcome, I'm so glad you're here

I was raised by a father who was covered in tattoos. Each tattoo a deliberate act of self-expression. Whether through fashion, piercings, or ink, he moved through the world as his own canvas. Watching him as a young girl gave me the courage to embrace my individuality, and the confidence to create and express myself just as boldly.

I started tattooing in my garden apartment unit in Roscoe Village, Chicago after my dad got me a tattoo pen to experiment with. Through trial and error, a limited background in art, and a whole lot of trust in myself, this opened the door to a whole new world I'd never thought I'd be a part of.

Today, I've been tattooing professionally for 4 years now, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity to create art that people will carry with them forever.

Every piece starts with a conversation. I'll work with you to shape something that's yours — drawn by hand, tattooed with care.

If you have any questions or want to submit your concept, please email me at amyamila.ink@gmail.com.

I tattoo year-round out of both Los Angeles and Chicago. Sessions are booked through my Calendly — please pick the city and the dates that work best for you.
