OUR ARTISTS
Ana (@anagram_tattoos)
I have made art for as long as I can remember. My uncle taught me everything he knew all throughout my childhood. My first influences were impressionist artists, so I’ve been drawn to botanical/nature themes since I was a kid. I have a bachelor’s in Biology (go miners!), and even though I don’t work in that field anymore, I feel like I’m still using my degree in the tattoos I do and it has helped me understand higiene and tattoo procedures in a better way.
When I’m not tattooing or drawing/painting, you can find me hanging out with my Dachshund dogs, my cats, and my wonderful husband Benny. I also love to read and I enjoy playing golf.
I am pretty versatile when it comes to tattoo styles, but my absolute favorites are illustrative blackwork and neo traditional with a focus on botanical and ornamental designs. I love nature, mandala-inspired, geometric, Art Deco, nouveau, and baroque elements, and I try to incorporate them in the tattoos I do whether it is a commission or personal releases. I am eager to talk to you and make your ideas come to life!
Jenn (@i.think.with.ink)
My name is Jennifer Sullivan and I have always been advocate for the arts. I was born and raised in San Diego, CA. I grew up taking dance lessons and filled my free time with drawing and painting.
I had my son in 2016, and operated my own hair salon for 6 years. During that time I drew something about everyday. I also got married to my wonderful, supportive husband and started my own full time art business. I continued my art business and would sell at markets and online. When I moved to El Paso the beginning of 2022, I was so intrigued by this wonderful community and knew I wanted to take a step further in my art. I met Ana, our wonderful shop owner and she took me under her wing as an apprentice. I am absolutely falling more in love with this industry everyday and cannot wait to see where it takes me. In my free time I still make art, love spending time with animals and exploring outside! I look forward to meeting you!
Jinna (@)kijithepoker
Hi, my name is Jinna (jee-nuh) aka Kiji. I’m a Korean-American artist located in El Paso, Texas. I graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 2019, but in 2022 I decided to pursue tattooing. I’m a self-taught hand-poke tattoo artist that’s always learning and eager to grow. I’m inspired by many things, but I find myself gravitating toward botanical motifs, flowing lines, and things that look cute.
In my spare time, I enjoy drawing + painting, taking photos, crocheting + knitting, and I also enjoy playing video games (mostly farming sims)!
While my main intent as an artist is to create pieces that reflect who I am, it is also my goal to create pieces that bring joy to my clients while creating a safe space that’s comfortable and inclusive for everyone. I can’t wait to adorn your beautiful bodies with art that I hope makes you happy. <3

Ana and I are co-owners of Cellar Door Tattoo Gallery. I stay behind the scenes for the most part. My job is to manage supply inventory, help out with social media and bookings, and curate the art we have available for sale as well as help with event planning.
I am also an artist and enjoy painting a lot, some of my art is on display at the parlor and I am also open to commission work. I love playing golf and spend time with friends, family, and my fiancée Ana. I also work at Mother of all Branding, an awesome print shop located just below Cellar Door!
