About me (blog intro)
Hi — I'm Paloma. I draw on people for a living, which still sounds fake when I say it out loud.
I'm the one in the back corner of the shop with my hoodie sleeves pushed up, hunched over a stencil, humming something off-key and hoping nobody notices. Fair warning: I will show you the tattoo I'm proudest of within five minutes of meeting you, and then I'll blush about it for another five.
Tell me what you're imagining. I'll tell you honestly if it'll work, and kindly if it won't, and I'll draw it three different ways until one of them feels like you. Small ones, botanical ones, hand-sized dumb ones on your ankle — all welcome. I'm gentle. I'm slow. I'll make you tea.
Bring snacks. I always have a stash, but I'm not sharing the good ones unless you ask nicely.
— Paloma Zamora
