I’m Pilar, a tattoo artist originally from Chile, now based in Vancouver. I’ve been living in Canada for the past three years, and my work focuses on ornamental tattooing and dark lettering, with an emphasis on clean lines, thoughtful composition, and intentional details.

I’m drawn to designs that feel timeless, bold, and personal. I enjoy working closely with my clients to create pieces that not only look beautiful, but also feel like a natural extension of who they are.

For me, tattooing is about more than creating a design. It’s about creating something meaningful that becomes part of you and stays with you for life.

Outside the studio, I’m usually spending time with my three cats , exploring nature, hiking, diving, or cycling. I’m a big animal lover and enjoy the quieter, slower moments in life.

Fun fact: I got my first tattoo when I was 13. Definitely not something I recommend, but it sparked a fascination that eventually grew into a passion for tattooing and became the craft I chose to pursue.
