The 2013 University of Washington graduate in Public Health held various jobs before veering into art, attending workshops, conferences and panels to build up an art portfolio.
Ordoñez got into tattooing after she got tattooed herself. Also, a friend noticed that her art was beginning to take on “tattoo aesthetics.”
She apprenticed for a year at a local queer tattoo shop before launching Sorry Sorry Tattoo. The shop will mark its sixth anniversary this winter.
