Linda Torres - Empath, Tattoo Artist & More...
Welcome! I’m Linda Torres, and with seven years of experience in the tattoo industry, I’ve focused my practice on realism. My mission is to create personalized designs from life that resonate deeply with each individual reflecting their unique stories, emotions, and personal transformations.
As a trauma-informed tattoo artist, I prioritize understanding, consent, and compassion at every step of the process. I stay true to my artistic style, offering authentic, one-of-a-kind pieces that are both meaningful and emotionally grounded. I'm also passionate about client education, empowering you through the creative process so you feel supported, seen, and involved.
I travel selectively for my work and only take on a limited number of clients at a time. Because of this, availability is limited and booking opportunities are often reserved in advance. Whether you have a specific idea or are looking for guidance, I’m here to collaborate and make your tattoo experience truly memorable, wherever our paths may cross.
How to Book
I don’t take on many projects — and when I do, they’re intentional, one-of-a-kind, and often booked fast.

If tattooing is part of your story, let’s connect more intentionally.
Realism is my specialty, but my work is rooted in trauma-informed tattooing, art as a healing practice, and mindful body expression. Every tattoo starts with a consult so we can connect, collaborate, and make sure it’s the right fit for you and your story. I’m here to hold space for healing, self-expression, and transformation through art. And if I’m not your artist, I’ll help you find the one who is. 🖤

More Than a Tattoo — A Space for Healing and Self-Expression
If you’ve ever felt the need for a tattoo experience that honors your story, your boundaries, and your healing, you’re in the right place.
My work is rooted in the belief that tattoos can be a powerful way to release, reclaim, and reconnect with your body. Whether you're navigating past trauma, expressing transformation, or simply ready to feel more at home in your skin, I hold space with intention.
As a trauma-conscious tattoo artist, I offer more than realism, I offer presence, patience, and a process that centers your comfort. This is healing through ink, led by trust and collaboration.
If you’re ready for a more mindful tattooing experience, I invite you to take the next step.
Let’s create something meaningful, together.

While my painting style is closer to an edgy, rough, impressionistic realism style, that differs from my tattoo style quite a bit. I find that I enjoy the challenge of realism on skin from the technical perspective. So much of tattooing is technical skill that honing the realism spectrum brings me so much joy. The challenge for paint on canvas or on paper can vary for me. Sometimes my mixed media origins come through as I want to express in a looser form of creation. I may get to a point where I offer prints as of now my paintings displayed are one of a kind originals, mixed media.
