About Me

Hi! My name is Ilena Gonzalez. I’m an Ohio based tattoo artist who is versatile in many styles, but specializes in black & grey and dot work styled tattoos. Currently, I am working at Iron Door Tattoo in Fairview Park, Ohio. I started tattooing in September 2019 at 19 years old. I’ve always had a passion for art since the age of 5. Drawing and painting was my main priority for most of my life until I stumbled across tattooing. Growing up, I’ve watched my father tattoo(who is now a retired tattoo artist) and have spent a lot of time sitting in tattoo shops bored out of my mind as a kid. I would have never thought that I would follow his footsteps and have the same passion as he did. I’m forever grateful for choosing this path of life. Seeing the smiles on my clients faces, and the ability to be a full time artist is the greatest blessing in the world.
