We had the good fortune of connecting with Maytee Toledo Gomez and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Maytee, what is the most important factor behind your success?
Quality service , happy energetic environment . Passionate in what we do.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
The inspiration for my art comes from vintage images , American traditional tattoos and pop culture. I’ve always been drawn to tattooing bold lines and packing in solid color. Some people ask : What’s your style ? Well, I don’t know haha. I’ve tried many ways of finding my style , cute stuff, witchy stuff , girly stuff . I draw depending on my mood I guess. I try to keep it flexible , it challenges me when I go out of my comfort zone . Tattooing is always on my mind . I just love tattooing and I love making people happy.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Definitely take them out to meet the Miami Night life. It’s quite a ride ! Great people in many places . One would be to see my favorite bartender and friend Tara . I’d like to take them to this little place called Taquerias El Mexicano on SW 8st. Go skating, Laser light show or dancing! Who am I kidding haha, those are things I used to do in Miami. Now, I love to travel and I love calm retreats surrounded by nature . I also love to be home with my fur babies. I’d definitely take them to the beach though, love Key Largo and Gilbert’s bar.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Thank you to all the masters before our time that paved the way for us today, and the women who took the journey of becoming a tattoo artist , the first in representing us in this male dominant industry at the time. Thank you ! to everyone who believed in me and supported my art. There are far too many people to mention, My family, my friends , my clients who became my friends, thank you!
