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

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.
