Rocio likes to approach her work with a little humor, a little spirituality and a great sense of wonder. Rocio has been dabbling in alchemy since she was a wee little bird. Mixing up concoctions with the left over food in the sink while doing dishes, or cleaning the glue out of the carpet before her mother came home. She spent her angry teenage years in Ventura, California going to all ages shows, the Ren. Fair, hiking, and doing freaky sharpie drawings on her friends in the McDonalds parking lot. Her big eye opening experience came in 1994 when she attended Cal State Summer School of the Arts. Rocio got a new taste of freedom, as well as the never before savored tofu dogs. She returned home with a single mindedness to move to San Francisco and spread her wings. At the tender age of eighteen she attended the Academy of Art College for a short time as a film major, but then quit and worked a few random jobs as cashier/produce girl and smoothie maker. Rocio though never stopped listening to a little voice in her head telling her, her true calling had always been creating. Her tattoo career started as an apprenticeship at Black and Blue in San Francisco, where she learned from a variety of very talented women, while holding down a job as a bicycle mechanic for 7 years. She has taken a variety of design, and drawing classes at CCSF as well as some jewelry, and metal arts classes, and has shown her personal work as a part of some small and large group shows in the Bay area. Currently she is working at Black and Blue Tattoo.
