Denise

FOUNDER

Denise first started in the tattoo industry back in 2015. She specializes in Irezumi, a traditional Japanese style that incorporates folklore, mythical creatures, floral elements, and the flow of waves, wind, or clouds that connect the main pieces together into one cohesive design. Irezumi accentuates the shapes and curves and covers large portions of the body. Over time, she’s branched out into other Asian cultures and began adding Cyberpunk/Biomechanical parts to the Organic elements she works with. She also enjoys doing Florals, Mandalas, and llustrative work.

Prior to tattoos, Denise had background in Concept Art. After going through a traditional tattoo apprenticeship for 3 years, she opened PARALLAX’s first location in San Jose in 2018. She began taking in apprentices, while continuing to tattoo and operate the business. PARALLAX 2.0 Milpitas opened its doors in 2021 with a bigger space to provide a comfortable spot for clients, resident/guest artists and apprentices.

Her hope has always been to provide a safe creative community for people from all over to meet and express themselves. Starting PARALLAX has given her the ability to have a platform to educate audiences on our industry through engaging content, controversial topics, and challenging the traditional ways.
