A Queer Artist.
An Entrepreneur.
A Storyteller.
Letitia Mendes, better known as Letty, created Pulsatink from a deeply personal understanding of what it feels like to exist outside the box.
With a background in arts and graphic design, paired with an entrepreneurial spirit from a young age, creativity was never just a hobby to her — it was a way of life. She was always drawn toward building, creating, and expressing things differently.
Having known that feeling herself, tattoos became more than just art to her. They became a form of identity, expression, healing, rebellion, storytelling, and connection.
But somewhere along the way, Letty realized that the tattoo industry often forgot the human side of the experience.
Many studios felt intimidating, transactional, rushed, or creatively limiting. The experience lacked warmth, emotional connection, and genuine understanding.
That realization became the foundation of Pulsatink.
Letty didn’t just want to build another tattoo studio. She wanted to build a space people could feel.
- A space where someone could walk in nervous and walk out feeling seen.
- A space where art and emotion could coexist.
- A space where individuality wasn’t judged — it was celebrated.
