About Aura

Based in New Orleans, Louisiana, Aura Jane is a multi dimensional artist who uses several mediums to convey her artwork. Having maintained a successful career in tattooing since 2007, her fine art, surrealist, modern contemporary, sculpting and performing arts background has shaped her into the well rounded artist she is today.

Drawing inspiration from her multicultural upbringing, traveling the world from a young age as well as interacting with people from many walks of life, her mediums are not limited to but include tattooing as well as rendering digital art, painting in watercolor and acrylics, sculpting and woodworking.

Tattooing has been a huge part of her life and self identity, skin as a canvas is something she enjoys working with, meeting and collaborating with people to create permanent works that stand the test of time. Pushing the boundaries of her abilities and also what’s possible in this field is something she strives for. Every tattoo is personal and unique, just as every individual seeking to get tattooed. Rendering art in skin to compliment the body, skin tone, personality and identity of the client is extremely important, as well as putting thought into the works to create living art. Healing through body art, one tattoo at a time.
