Princess Hilla: Inkmaster Season 8 alum talks tattoos and royalty

Hillary Santagata, also known as “Princess Hilla” has appeared on Paramount Network's Ink master and Ink Master Redemption television series. She also featured as the female American Tattooer for the Dr. Pepper One of a Kind Americans campaign.

Once upon a time… She got her start as royalty - quite literally, as a Princess for a Southern California theme park and resort. Through the magic of the arts she transitioned from a princess into a tattooer, not your typical fairytale progression, but for Hillary, getting a tattoo machine in her hands was a Cinderella glass slipper type moment.
