LAURA ANUNNAKI
I am a Mexican tattoo artist known all around the world for my own signature style; dreamy tattoos full of glitters, bright colors and heavily inspired by Japanese kawaii culture.
My designs can be super cute and very sparkly, but sometimes they can be the opposite because I love contrast and mixing concepts on my tattoos.
I started my career in 2015 but I developed my artistic skills at a very young age! Creating has always been my passion.
I got into the tattoo world by getting tattooed with my own designs––since the style I wanted for my tattoos didn’t exist in the industry at the time. I started designing tattoos for myself and friends who liked my vision. I started posting my designs on Instagram and since it was something innovative, I started to get support from people and some tattoo artists in my town, then I decided to start learning by myself.
I didn’t have any money or a mentor, so I started tattooing my designs at my customer’s places. Meanwhile, I was studying Graphic design in university, but I decided to drop out school so I could dedicate my time to tattooing full time. One year after, I had the opportunity to become a traveling artist! I went to numerous tattoo conventions in Asia, America and Europe and collaborating with different tattoo studios as a guest and resident artist in Japan, England, France, Spain, Taiwan, Mexico and now in Los Angeles. Traveling has allowed me to learn from a ton of artists and gain experience in different skin types.
I’m very grateful for being able to make a living from what I love and having the opportunity to connect with wonderful people from different cultures through my art.
