TATTOOS BY

LAUREN MONFORTE

about me//

My name is Lauren and I am a tattooist at Iron Thorn Tattoo in Trexlertown, PA. I have been tattooing for a little over 5 years. Tattooing is something I’ve always admired. Receiving a tattoo is a big energy exchange from artist to client. I am always grateful to be here; trusted and chosen for this. To be able to create works of art that resonates with both of us to be timelessly inked into the skin. To work in this industry of constant creation is still surreal.

my work//

I like to tattoo a few different styles and concepts. Styles I enjoy are blackwork, art nouveau, realism, ornamental, blackout, illustrative, neotraditional, symmetry/asymmetry, trippy/psychedelic, and surrealism. Some concepts I align with are anything nature related (florals, foliage, skulls/bones, insects, animals, nature decomposing, fungi, fruit/veg etc), portraits/ladyheads, pattern work, and mythology/witchy. I am open to other concepts/styles as long as I feel that my my art would connect well with your idea.

I open my books seasonally; spring/ summer- fall/winter. You can subscribe to my newsletter below to receive booking updates or appointment openings.
