There, she decided to return to drawing classes. Since she was a child she has loved to create and draw, doing workshops and has always had a huge passion for art in general. She got her first tattoo machine in 2017 and started learning in Barcelona from her tattoo artists friends who were working at and owning their own studios in Spain. Flor has been in New Zealand for over a year now and has made the decision to turn her hobby into a profession and with the strict guidance and teachings of @fi.tatt - her dream is now a reality. Flor has been working really hard following her guidance and continues to do so to ensure she is developing with great precision at an incredible pace. Stylewise, Flor loves traditional, neo traditional, black work, engraving and Japanese but is still figuring out what her true style is. In the mean time, she's now taking on simple projects at apprentice rates and is always happy to help with your small but meaningful tattoos, explore designs and placement ideas and make the process an unforgettable experience!
