A Study in Devotion: In the Studio with 5 Female Tattoo Artists Shaping the Future of Wearable Art
A conversation on craft, commitment and creating work meant to be carried for life with Jenna Kerr, Kristine Vodon, Marily Letendre, Miranda Boire and Jasmine Hernandez
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
On March 21, World Tattoo Day invites us to step into the studio and look closely at the discipline behind wearable art. By the artists devoted the craft, tattooing is not treated as trend or aesthetic shorthand; it’s a processed built on laborious preparation, artistic rigour, humble client services, thoughtful storytelling and responsibility.
In speaking with Jenna Kerr, Kristine Vodon, Marily Letendre, Miranda Boire and Jasmine, a shared theme becomes clear: they talk about composition before execution, they discuss anatomy as much as imagery and explain the reverent weight of permanence. Each artist approaches the body as a living canvas that must be considered carefully because what they create will live there forever.
This conversation sheds light on the complex business of tattooing from the creative process to studio management and client collaboration, by women whose careers are built on commitment to the creativity and business savvy in equal measure.
Fire Horse, Forward: Lori Dylan on Working With Spring’s Momentum
On accessible tarot, grounded rituals for spring and the heat of Fire Horse energy
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
Spring arrives with forward motion, and Lori Dylan meets it without any theatrics. Her approach to tarot resists over-the-top spectacle and is, instead, grounded in clarity, framing the cards as conversation.
Raised with Indigenous lineage and mentored by a witch, she speaks about ritual the way others speak about productive habits or discipline—something lived, repeated and refined over time.
In our conversation, this Lunar calendar’s Fire Horse energy is framed as a current of momentum that asks for our participation. As the season turns (finally!), she offers grounded ways to work with energy, allowing ritual to exist in ordinary life in an accessible, intentional way.
End the Year with Grace: A Conversation with a Modern Mystic, Molly Zancanaro
Reflections on revelation, Reiki and the rituals that bridge one year to the next
By: The Lace Ledger Staff
The year ends softly for those who know how to listen. The light thins, and time seems to breathe between hours.
We spoke with a modern mystic, Molly Zancanaro, about the quiet work of closing the year with grace and intention. Her practice blends spiritual intuition with energy work. Specializing in Reiki healing and tarot, she reminds others that ending the year doesn’t mean that we have to resolve the past to move forward; but simply release carrying what no longer belongs with us.
In this conversation, she shares her story of self discovery and finding her online community, and then invites us to peak behind the curtain of a session to gain a deeper understanding of the energy and intuitive work she does. She also shares a simple ritual we can each use to welcome the new year as 2025 comes to a close.
