@inkedby_miley
Miley was born and raised in the vibrant city of Angeles City, Pampanga. Her journey into the world of tattooing began unexpectedly during the pandemic when she found herself laid off from her corporate job. This unforeseen turn of events became a pivotal moment in her life, revealing an opportunity to pursue her long-held passion for art.
The defining moment in Miley’s career came when a friend invited her to participate in a local tattoo competition. The event organizer, impressed by her potential, offered her an apprenticeship at their shop. Embracing this opportunity, Miley learned the essentials of tattooing—proper setup, sanitation, and technical skills. This experience solidified her decision to leave her corporate job and fully commit to tattooing.
Over the past two years, Miley has established herself as a full-time tattoo artist, specializing in fineline tattoos. Her focus on intricate scripts and conceptual designs reflects her personal style and meets the desires of clients seeking delicate and refined tattoos, rather than traditional bold lines.
Miley's choice of specialization was driven by her initial intimidation with larger needle configurations and a recognition of a niche within the tattoo industry. As a woman in a predominantly male-dominated field, she saw the need for artists who could provide more delicate designs, which inspired her to concentrate on fineline tattoos.
Outside the studio, Miley finds solace in nature. Her hobbies include hiking, camping, and stargazing, activities that offer her perspective and a deep appreciation for the transient beauty of life.
She approaches each tattoo with the understanding that it is a permanent addition to her client's life, treating every piece with the utmost care and creativity. Her distinctiveness in the industry lies not only in her fineline specialization but also in the comfort and understanding she provides as a female artist.
When working with clients, Miley's process involves asking detailed questions to truly grasp their vision and ideas. This thorough approach ensures that each tattoo is a personal and meaningful reflection of her clients' desires. For Miley, a successful tattoo is ultimately defined by the satisfaction and happiness of her clients, making excellent service and client contentment her primary measures of success.
Miley’s journey underscores the excellence that women can achieve in the tattoo industry, setting her apart as a distinguished and valued artist.
