Therefore, when years later she discovered through a television program that you could make drawings on your skin and, even more, that you could make a living from it, it was love at first sight.

Cristina Castillo is a tattoo artist specialized in color realism. Before I knew how to speak I was already drawing. Therefore, when years later he discovered that drawings could be made on the skin and that this could become a profession, he felt love at first sight.
Currently, it has more than ten years of experience and has been recognized at different events in the sector. She enjoys expressing herself artistically without limits and recognizes that, for her, one of the greatest achievements is that a person decides to get a tattoo with her and repeats.
