From the owner: Hi, this is me, María,…read more I began tattooing in 2016, and since then my journey has taken me around the world, from Germany, Italy, France, Switzerland, and Spain to the Philippines, Indonesia, Mexico, China, and beyond. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to earn awards at conventions in Switzerland, Italy, Spain, the U.S and China. In 2022, I moved to New York City to continue growing in the place where so many of the best artists come to find their voice. Beyond tattooing, I’ve shared my knowledge as a jury member at more than seven international conventions and through three online courses that have reached over 3,000 students. In 2024, together with my co-founders, I opened Lumbre Studios in Spain, followed by Lumbre Academy, my first tattoo academy dedicated to teaching new artists this exciting art form. Over the years I’ve focused on developing my own style of detailed, micro-realistic compositions, sometimes refered to as concept tattoo or contemporary tattoo, my work is designed for people who value art, exclusivity, and timeless quality. I also take on a limited number of oil painting commissions. Your turn to tell me about you…

The entire team was a pleasure to have on-site, would definitely recommend!

I brought her two very important paintings that belonged to my grandpa, and she treated them with…read moreincredible care and respect. From the first moment, I felt that I could truly trust her -- and I was absolutely right. She did an amazing job, far beyond my expectations. On top of that, her pricing was incredibly fair for the quality of work she delivers. For something this meaningful and valuable, I honestly expected it to cost much more. Honest, kind, professional, and truly talented. If you are looking for someone you can trust with valuable or meaningful artwork, she is the one. Her work is absolutely worth every dollar.

We saw a painting going up at auction that we were interested in but it looked dull and had a…read moreyellow haze to it. We contacted Jill to who indicated that it looked like it could use a cleaning and gave us a range of what that might cost. She made clear that until she could do tests on the painting she couldn't say for sure what the outcome of a cleaning might be. We bought the painting and brought it to Jill. The cleaning and other work she did on the painting made an extraordinary difference and we are extremely happy with the results. Jill is a lovely person and very honest and easy to work with. She is highly skilled at her profession and we recommend her without reservation. Go to her website and watch her videos. You can't fail to be impressed.
