Tatiana De La Paz, known as T, is a 23-year-old Bronx native with an unstoppable drive and a boundless creative spirit. Raised in a city that never sleeps, T draws inspiration from the relentless hustle and distinctive style of her father, who instilled in her a deep appreciation for individuality and perseverance.
Self-expression has always been at the core of T’s identity. Beyond her work, she channels her energy into amateur boxing, constantly pushing her physical and mental limits. The discipline and determination she’s developed in the ring translate seamlessly into her craft as a piercer, where precision, patience, and artistry define her work.
T’s journey into body modification began with an early fascination for jewelry—not just as adornment, but as a means of storytelling and identity. This passion quickly evolved into an appreciation for the intricate relationship between jewelry and anatomy. Over the past five years as a full-time piercer, she has refined her skills, specializing in high-end materials and luxury jewelry. Her attention to detail and commitment to quality have earned her a reputation for excellence among clients who seek both beauty and meaning in their modifications.
Now, T is eager to elevate her career further by collaborating with the talented team at Modified Tattoos. She envisions a future where her love for body art, jewelry, and design come together—ultimately leading to the launch of her own jewelry line. For T, piercing is more than a profession; it’s a form of art, a tool for self-empowerment, and a way to help others embrace their individuality.
Whether through piercings, art, or innovative jewelry designs, T’s goal is to create work that resonates with people on a deeper level. She sees every piercing as an opportunity to help clients express themselves and gain confidence in their appearance. Her approach to piercing is meticulous, ensuring that every piece of jewelry complements both the body’s natural contours and the wearer’s unique aesthetic.
T is also passionate about educating her clients on proper aftercare and the importance of quality materials in body modification. She believes that piercing should be both a safe and empowering experience, which is why she prioritizes not only skill but also the well-being of those who trust her with their bodies.
In addition to her piercing career, T remains dedicated to expanding her knowledge of jewelry craftsmanship, design, and emerging trends in body modification. She hopes to merge traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetics, setting new standards for innovation in the industry. Her long-term vision is to create a space where people can come for not just piercings but also custom jewelry pieces that tell their personal stories.
With a sharp eye for detail and an unwavering dedication to her craft, T is on a mission to leave a lasting impact on the industry. As she continues to refine her skills and expand her artistic horizons, she remains committed to helping others feel bold, beautiful, and unapologetically themselves.
