My Story

I'm Christina Candelaria, based in Antwerp.

Art has always been my greatest passion, and at the end of March 2025 I finally began my tattoo journey. Since then, I have been practicing almost daily on synthetic skin, experimenting with different techniques and styles. But my heart lies with micro-realism, especially portrait work, where I can capture emotion and detail in the smallest format.

At the same time, I also love exploring graphic and illustrative designs, playing with bold lines, striking contrasts, and creative concepts that stand out on the skin.

Since October 2025, I have been fortunate enough to work as an Apprentice under the mentorship of the incredibly talented Sasha Hemelaer, whose work I have admired for years. This opportunity allows me to grow every day, refining my craft and pushing my artistic limits.

In my portfolio, you'll find a mix of my work from tattoo pieces to my most recent flash designs, all reflecting my love for detail, precision, and storytelling through art.
