Ave
Born and raised in Houston, Ave has been creating art for as long as she can remember. Drawing and painting came naturally from a young age, and she always knew that whatever path she chose in life would involve art in some form. Tattooing felt like a natural evolution of that passion, allowing her to turn a lifelong love of art into a career. Over the last 4 years, she has continued to develop her work and refine her signature style of dotwork realism, black and grey realism, and portraiture.
While portraits, florals, and wildlife are some of her favorite subjects to create, Ave enjoys working with a wide range of imagery and is always excited to take on new concepts. She loves the challenge of bringing different ideas to life, provided she has the creative freedom to interpret them through her own artistic eye. Her work is known for its textured dotwork shading, bold contrast, attention to detail, and clean finish.
Ave works closely with each client to create meaningful custom pieces that feel personal and unique. She values collaboration throughout the design process, ensuring her clients feel heard while placing their trust in her vision. Passionate about continuous growth and learning, she strives to create tattoos that not only reflect each client’s story, but also maintain the realistic, detail driven aesthetic that defines her work.
