I’ve been seeing Dolores for a few years. Now I’m the person who plans the next tattoo before the last one heals. This is coming from someone who’s scared of needles. Half the time, she’s more excited about my idea than I am, and that feeling carries you through the session.

Her imagination is big, and the skill is there to back it up. I trust her completely. When we talk through a design, she listens, she sketches, she notices the tiny things that make it mine. Then it ends up on my skin exactly right. Not close. Right.

Sessions can be long and, sure, they sting, but with her, they turn into something I actually look forward to. Music on, easy conversation, lots of laughs.

If you want a tattoo that feels like real artwork and a person who treats you with care, go see Dolores. Professional, talented, and just a great human.

The Super Mario tattoo was the first piece Dolores did for me, and from the moment I saw her style, I knew I could trust her with something this personal.

Dolores not only brought all my crazy ideas to life, but also made sure every key element was there. She designed the perspective so it fits perfectly with the shape and size of my forearm.

Her detailed sketch style matched the retro vibe so well, it’s like wearing a little piece of my childhood on my skin. Couldn’t be happier!

I came back for two more.

Dolores' work speaks for itself. Every piece is a work of art on skin. Personally, she's the only one that I allow to "paint" on me.

Getting a tattoo at nestmade is not just “getting a tattoo”. It’s a mix of friendly conversations, fun, sing-alongs, and doing basically anything that makes you forget about the needles.

—Ivan

Once you go black (tattooed/inked by Dolores), you never go back! She’s extremely meticulous, gentle, and precise. The true artist in her line of work.

If you’re looking for someone who will turn your ideas into art on skin with lots of love and attention to detail, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Dolores!
