Mashable. 。
That drive to succeed hasn't made her exempt from the occasional misgendering of her work. "I've had a few people tell me, at first they thought I was a guy just from looking at my work. I don't like that."。

Instagram has played a huge role in exposing Chavez to a global audience. "My followers have doubled in the last year and most of the tattoo inquiries I get are from people who have come across my Instagram." 。
