Discover Diana’s tattoo studio and explore Mexico City as she reveals the hidden corners where she finds her inspiration

Diana Félix (@dianafelixmx) is a Mexican tattoo designer and illustrator. Her portraits of femininity inspire confidence and strength. In this edition of the Domestika Diary, Diana shows us around her incredible workplace and takes us on a cycle tour of Mexico City to reveal some of its incredible locations. Enjoy your local guide!

Diana thinks of herself as a morning person. The first rays of sunshine see her doing some yoga and getting a little exercise. This ritual fills her with positive energy and activates her creativity.

Diana established a spacious private tattoo studio in the colorful Coyoacán neighborhood, along with her partner and other tattoo artists. It’s where she impregnates her clients’ skin with human duality. She plays with double-sided faces and figures that infuse her tattoos with a deep spirit.

Her working routine involves selecting a subject for her designs, then looking for visual references to include in a moodboard. This forms the basis for the drawings and stencils she creates in Procreate, then pitches to potential clients on social media.

Diana loves urban cycling and mountain biking, as they allow her to escape from the inks and tattoo machine and reconnect with her city and the special places that refresh her creative spirit.

Because her hobby became her professional career, Diana is always on the lookout for new activities and hobbies for inspiration.
