Working Method

Catherine prefers to complete large realism pieces in multiple sessions. The main reason is that prolonged sessions can be exhausting and counterproductive for both the artist and the client. After 5 or 6 hours of session, the artist’s vision gets tired and the work loses precision. Additionally, the client’s skin becomes inflamed, making it harder for the ink to penetrate and increasing the pain.

By dividing the work into 5 to 6-hour sessions, the client suffers less, and the tattoo results in better quality. This approach allows the tattoo to heal properly between sessions, errors to be corrected, and lines and shadows to be refreshed. Blacks can be darkened more, and the overall tattoo becomes more vibrant, lively, and durable.

Her constant pursuit of knowledge and improvement distinguishes her path towards personal and professional growth, standing out not only for her talent and technical skill but also for her dedication to the evolution and innovation in the art of tattooing.
