Chely is a resident tattoo artist at Guru Tattoo and Black Gold MX , known for her expertise in Dark Arts, Black and Gray, Blackwork, Illustrative styles, as well as micro-realism and realism. Growing up, she drew immense inspiration from comics and the surreal works of Salvador Dali, which fueled her artistic passion from a young age.
 

Her journey began in Ensenada, Mexico, in 2020 at a really popular shop at the time, where she encountered her incredible friend Marco Moreno who encouraged her to push beyond her comfort zone and strive for excellence every day. A pivotal moment in her career came when she had the opportunity to be a guest artist at the Vatican Studio, where meeting the legendary Freddy Negrete deeply influenced her commitment to mastering Black and Gray tattooing with her own twist.

​

When she’s not tattooing, Chely enjoys spending time at home drawing, reading comics, and traveling. She expresses heartfelt gratitude to her wife Melissa who is also a tattoo artist for inspiring her to pursue her dreams and to her dear friend Enrique, who always believed in her journey. Rest in peace, Enrique.
