Lauren, a talented tattoo artist, has been passionate about art from an early age. Her journey began with a love of drawing, which gradually morphed into painting, particularly with oil paints as one of her favorite mediums.
In 2019, Lauren ventured into tattooing, initially working at a small shop in St. Marys before establishing her own tattoo studio, Studio Y Tattoo, in Stratford. Since then, her artistry has gained recognition, being featured in DGN, Top Tattoo Artists of the World, and Global Tattoo magazines. She is also proudly sponsored by El Diablo Tattoo Supply Ltd.
Studio Y Tattoo has been honored with the 2026 Canadian Choice Award for Best Tattoo Shop in Stratford, showcasing Lauren’s commitment not only to her craft but also to her clients.
Lauren enjoys exploring a vast array of tattoo styles, though she is particularly known for her expertise in custom tattoo designs that emphasize realism and neo-traditional techniques. From dark and creepy concepts to delicate, beautiful designs—and everything in between—she loves bringing unique ideas to life. While she thrives on creating original artwork, she excels in custom pieces that invite creative freedom and collaboration with her clients.
Always striving to grow as an artist, Lauren is dedicated to expanding her skills and techniques. She has a special passion for large-scale projects like sleeves, back pieces, and other impactful tattoos—the bigger, the better. Additionally, she is highly skilled in cover-up work, transforming almost any existing tattoo into something fresh and beautiful.
Lauren looks forward to partnering with you to bring your vision to life through custom tattoo designs that are as unique and individual as you are.
