A Note from Lanna
Welcome to Compassion Ink. My passion is helping people through creativity and care. After working in esthetics and massage therapy for more than 15 years, I discovered paramedical tattooing through a client who told me there was no one in Red Deer offering this service.
When I began researching, I was deeply moved by transformations I saw — from areola tattoos after breast cancer to scar camouflage that helped people feel whole again. With encouragement from my best friend, Tanis, I trained in Toronto to bring this service home.
Sadly, Tanis passed away before she could receive the tattoo we planned together. I continue this work in her honor, offering compassion, artistry, and support to every client who walks through our doors.”
