About Jenny Lanna
“I love being a tattoo artist and it is amazing how much I’ve learned from the challenges of having a living breathing human as my canvas. Those experiences helped me to bring a unique perspective to my paintings. My pieces embody the characteristics of two different people: the artist who has had to apply the delicacy of single needle precision and the artist who wildly expresses emotions with color. Much like tattoos, no two paintings are the same. There are days where I will layer and apply paint like a mad man and others where I handle the paintbrushes with almost surgical precision.”
Born and raised in the Sunshine State, Jenny Lanna began her artistic passion as a child drawing everything she could get her eyes on. With a strong influence from her Japanese heritage, she spent much of her time capturing the life of her grandmother's garden on paper. After years of filling every page of her sketch books, her hard work paid off. At the age of 13, Jenny received her first portrait commission, soon followed by many more.
With college being the first time Jenny would take a real art class, she fell even more in love with the creation process. Immersing herself in to as many avenues of art as possible, Jenny continued working on her craft in a different way. As she attended her art classes during the day, she began her tattoo apprenticeship at night.
By the time she graduated with her fine art degree, she was a full-time licensed tattoo artist. After years of balancing the fine art world with the custom tattoo culture, Jenny has devoted her recent time to painting.
