Gilda

Gilda has been a part of the Fatty’s Crew since 2003.  Gilda was born
in Panama, and as a young child, she naturally gravitated towards art.
Her passion for art culminated in her desire to obtain her BFA in
Graphic Design from the Corcoran College of Art and Design in the
spring of 2003.

It was around that same period that she first became exposed to the
art of tattooing, ultimately deciding to commemorate her upcoming
graduation with her first piece of body art.  After getting her first
tattoo, she embarked on a 3-year apprenticeship with friend, teacher
and experienced tattoo artist Fatty.  Since completing her training in
2006, Gilda has become known for her solid tattoos, her soft touch,
her passionate art, and her ability to translate her clients dreams
into reality.

Her interest in the natural world is evident in her depictions of
oceanic and botanical life as well as her figurative work, which has
been a main interest since her earliest encounters with pencil and
paper. Gilda’s work is influenced by humor, music, themes of gender
and sexuality, dreams and the subconscious, spirituality and the occult.
Gilda can be found at Fatty’s Custom Tattooz on Tuesday, Thursday,
Friday, and Saturday. For more info about Gilda,
