About the Artist
Driven by a childhood dream and a commitment to inclusivity, Yana X began her journey with a clear mission: to provide a safe, high-end environment for the Black community and all clients to experience the power of body adornment. After completing a rigorous formal apprenticeship in Fair Lawn, NJ, Yana has spent the last three years mastering the "Art of Life" through technical precision and emotional intelligence.
Yana’s approach is defined by Informed Consent and a Freehand Technique designed to minimize trauma and ensure the most seamless experience possible. While she is up-to-date on all sterilization, Blood Borne Pathogens, and CPR protocols, she is currently finalizing her membership with the Association of Professional Piercers (APP) to further uphold the industry's highest standards.
Specializations include:
Complex Ear Curations: Master of industrial piercings, stacked lobes, and asymmetrical ear projects.
Anatomy-Forward Solutions: Specializes in "faux industrials" to provide a sophisticated aesthetic for clients with unique anatomy.
Intimate Adornment: Expert execution of nipple piercings with a gentle, professional touch.
Yana views every piercing not as a procedure, but as a chapter in a client's personal narrative. Currently pursuing a Graduate Diamonds degree from GIA, she brings a gemological eye to every service, treating jewelry as high-fashion art. Inspired by maximalist Indian jewelry and the works of mentors like Ryan Ouellette and Lynn Loheide, she excels at empowering clients through curated decoration.
"It’s not just about the needle; it’s about uplifting the client. Whether I’m helping someone through piercing fears or helping an older generation reclaim their body through self-expression, I am honored to be part of their journey."
When she isn’t at the studio, Yana is a true "Creator". She is an avid portrait photographer and a writer—sharing stories and poetry via her Substack, Indigo Leather. A passionate gem collector, she finds inspiration in the natural beauty of stones like Sphene, bringing that same appreciation for rare beauty to every client she serves at Club Tattoo.
