My name is Faride Bustamante.

Iā€™m a Queer and Gender Fluid, Salvadoran Immigrant currently living, loving, learning, and creating in Occupied Ohlone Land.

As a multimedia artist, my work often explores the intersection of identity and mental health.

I have been tattooing since 2019.

I center my practice around intentionality and care. Tattooing is a deeply sacred and powerful space. It is a transformative and spiritual experience. Although it can be vulnerable and intimate for both myself and my clients, I always strive to create a safe and comfortable experience.

It is my highest honor to do this work. I am immensely grateful to all who entrust me to adorn their vessels.

Thank you for being a part of my journey.
