Tattooluum´s tats heal inner scars and hide outer ones




Many of us dangerous tattooed people already know the healing power of tattoos. Inner scars are literally far deeper than outer scars but sometimes in covering the outer scars inner ones can heal too. A tattoo by a good artist can help. Covering scars is not an easy task..depending on the type of scar and where it is and its texture really determines if it can be covered. Especially here in Mexico many women have scars from childbirth after having a Cesarean birth. This can lead to shame or a low self esteem when it comes to wearing a bathing suit and here in the Mexican Caribbean its like our uniform.

Martin has been able to help women like this and others through scar covers. It really points to the talent of our artists when they can handle such a multi-faceted subject, because with a scar appointment you must be sincere but sensitive to the client. Then you must be able to determine the type of scar and if this tissue will be able to be tattooed. There is nothing worse than a client hoping to better their deformity than to make it worse. Its important too that they do not expect a miracle, that way when one happens they are pleasantly surprised!

Tattooluum is proud of the clients that take the time to face their physical deformity as well as the inner scar in order to cover as well as heal. None of us are perfect and we all have battle wounds inner and outer but if we can make the outer ones just a bit prettier and ease the inner torment and make the person feel better about themselves, well that is just priceless.

Still time to get Mart-INKED!




Tattooluum has had the fortunate luck to still have Martin Avila in the house. I was lucky enough to get my moon over my faery tattoo finished by him. The moon ended up being much bigger than I thought but as we in the tattoo world know that leads us to have a better more detailed tattoo. I let him have the reins with good reason. Its funny because in the design there were just 2 faces but when Martin did it it became three. When it was two it was gonna be the dark and light side of the moon and I want to embrace both sides of myself. But now that it became three for me its the trilogy of goddesses...Crone, Mother and Maiden...or my mom, me and Akashana. It means the moon to me! ;-)

So don't miss your chance to get Mart-INKED......come by soon before he leaves.

Tat-tat-Tattooluum with Victor Puga

Tattuluum has all been a-buzz with guest artists. We still have Martin Avila with us and now we have Victor Puga from Cancun. Puga is an old friend of the family and has grown up with art very similar. Puga gave several of his first tattoos as well as a cover of his very first...which we won't talk about..haha!

Tattooluum is exploding with excitement even though the season is slow. Lots of inquiries and two to three machines going at once. Its a wonderful sound to hear and see the artists working in tandem spreading the Tattooluum talent and reputation.

Even is getting to look more like a tattoo artist actually getting some ink on him!
