Madame Lazonga was among the first female tattoo artists in the world who went out on her own. She worked for herself and her art, and, over the years, has remained faithful in doing so. She continues to break boundaries, challenge tattoo/artistic norms, and create unforgettable body art. Much of her artistic inspiration comes from elements of the natural world, cultural motifs, or the non-literal and decorative, the spiritual and the sublime.

While appreciative and honoring of all canvases, The Madame has created a specialization in her work: Women who have survived the devastation of breast cancer and its subsequent disfigurement post-mastectomy. Being able to hold witness to the emotional transformation that occurs in these women has been the most rewarding element in her work to-date. In this vein, she sees her art as a kind of energy work, and her work as an artist, as that of a healer. To find out more and to view examples of this kind of work, click here.
