Lita Edwards:
co-owner AND TATTOO AND MEDICAL TATTOO ARTIST of metamorphosis ink

 

My career in tattooing began in 2009. Artistically speaking, my entire life. I used to dream that one day I would be an artist, whether musician, painter, architect, tattooer, didn't matter. Little did I know that I would become all of it, and then use it to change lives. (yes I designed a house once) Tattooing has saved my life, changed my life, and how I view it. It has been all hustle and determination to carve a future in this industry where I could thrive and be taken seriously. As one avenue led to another, today I find myself in a position I don't think anyone could dream of. Not only am I an award winning tattooer, but I have come to specialize in tattoo and scar coverups, both small and large, breast mastectomy covers, 3D areola reconstruction, hair pigmentation, optical illusions, phalloplasty rendering, beautiful color blends, smooth black and gray, and most styles of tattooing. I teach tattooing both in studio and on the road. Teaching is one of my favorite things. Am a public speaker at many breast cancer events, bringing awareness to options post cancer. I advocate for women's rights with insurance companies, and recently began our non-profit "Inked Transformations Foundation" for women with breast cancer who wish to have art not areolas. I also do commission paintings on the side, paint shoes, wall murals and anything that will stand still lol. Artistry is in my blood and in my family tree. I'm a woman, what's your superpower?
