Ayala Bratt is not your average tattoo artist. At only 23 years old, she’s made a name for herself as one of the best pet tattoo artists around. Originally from Israel, she moved to Las Vegas a year and a half ago to pursue her passion for tattooing.
Ayala’s journey to becoming a tattoo artist started at the young age of 13. She was the youngest tattoo artist in Israel, and 10 years later, her passion for art has only grown stronger. Once she immigrated to the United States, her tattoo career took off—especially her pet tattoos, loved by local Las Vegas residents and visiting pet owners who are looking to honor their furry best friends in the most permanent way.
Her specialty is fine-line and one-line artwork, which she discovered when a customer asked her to draw his dog using only a few lines. Ayala realized then that she had a special talent for fine- and one-line artwork, and it was the perfect medium for capturing the essence of pets. Ayala recounts that she found it “fascinating how you can tell a whole story in just a few lines.” Since then, she’s become an expert at using just a few strokes to convey an animal’s spirit and personality.
Her love for pets extends beyond her artwork—she has a Chow Chow named Puzi, her constant companion. When Ayala arrived in the U.S., she didn’t know anyone and spoke very little English. But she had Puzi, who was always by her side and provided comfort during that difficult time. As a result, he is the most spoiled dog in the world with his own bedroom, pool, and even a closet full of clothes and treats!
Ayala’s most memorable tattoo experience was with a customer who had special needs. He asked Ayala to tattoo his service dog, who had passed away, so that he could have him with him always. Ayala felt honored to create such a meaningful tattoo, and when she showed the customer the finished product, he was overcome with emotion. It was the most amazing reaction she’d ever seen to one of her tattoo pieces.
Her love for her dog Puzi—and all animals—has led her to a special niche in the tattoo world. For Ayala, tattoos are more than just a way to express herself artistically. They are a way for her to connect with and help other pet owners, by remembering and honoring the pets in their lives. She takes great pride in creating custom pet tattoos that are unique and meaningful to each customer.
With Puzi by her side, Ayala is living her dream as a tattoo artist in Las Vegas, and she’s excited to see where her career will take her next. You can connect with Ayala on Instagram @ayalatattoo1, on TikTok @ayalatattoo1, or through her website, ayalatattoo.com.
