Hi everyone, my name is Christine. I am a tattoo artist born and raised in Yonkers, New York.

Art has been a central part of my life for as long as I can remember. My journey began in the fifth grade when I won second place in an art contest, and I have been drawing passionately ever since. I officially entered the tattoo industry in 2014, starting out in my mother’s apartment. Today, I am proud to own two tattoo studios in Yonkers and one in New Fairfield, Connecticut.

As the child of immigrants from El Salvador, I was raised by a strong single mother who worked endlessly to give us a better life, alongside an uncle who stepped up as an incredible father figure and supported my creative ambitions. They taught me to prioritize living the American Dream and to always follow my heart. I feel deeply honored and grateful to do what I love for a living, and I am thankful to everyone who has supported me along the way.

As a versatile artist, I thrive on taking on new creative challenges. Tattooing has taken me across the world, allowing me to leave a piece of my art wherever I go. Outside the studio, I am happily married to the love of my life, who inspires me to keep pushing forward every single day.

Creating art that makes my clients happy is extraordinarily fulfilling, and I hope to tattoo for the rest of my life. Thank you for reading my story—I look forward to meeting you and starting or finishing our next project together!

Sincerely,
Chrispy Not Grilled
