While making her way through art school as a single mom, Lorri Thomas discovered an untapped career path that would change the course of her life: tattooing. As a formally trained artist, Lorri creates detailed, permanent art pieces that tell each person's unique story. After starting her own Black-owned tattoo shop, Lady L Tattoos, she became one of the most sought-after artists in Detroit. But “Lady L” didn’t stop there. She also founded the Ladies of Ink Tour — a traveling tattoo collective paving the way for fellow Black female tattoo artists to make their mark in a white male-dominated industry. While fine tuning every detail of her freestyle tattoo designs, Lorri creates a therapeutic space that encourages each client to unwind from the everyday challenges they face. In a city full of hustlers, Lorri continues to find ways to carry the torch to inspire others while enjoying every step of her own entrepreneurial journey as a Black artist.
