Micheala Garcia
With almost four years of experience at Agape, I'm overjoyed to be back home, continuing my passion for tattoo artistry that began in 2022. Throughout my journey, I've been blessed to meet amazing people and refine my skills in various styles, including fine line, calligraphy, dot work, geometric, black and gray, and minimalist designs. As I continue to evolve and learn, I'm reminded that every experience is a chance for growth and self-improvement.
As a mom to three beautiful girls, I've discovered that motherhood has been my greatest life teacher, instilling in me the strength to persevere and a deeper gratitude for life's precious moments. I'm dedicated to showing my girls that every experience, no matter what, is a blessing.
