meet the future of revival

introducing Alanna, Anthony, Vanessa, and Courtney

Lanna

Hi, I’m Alanna from Middletown, NY. With a background in fine art oil painting, permanent makeup, and makeup artistry, I’ve always been driven by creativity and a love for detail. Whether I’m working on a canvas or skin, I’m all about precision, growth, and perfecting my craft. And when I’m not creating, I’m proudly chasing around my two amazing little girls — my biggest inspiration of all.

Anthony

From an early age, Anthony was drawn to art in every form — from painting and drawing to designing custom car liveries. While schoolwork never held his attention, a sketchbook always did. After high school, he spent time working jobs that didn’t inspire him, searching for something that felt meaningful.

That changed when he joined Revival Tattoo. Surrounded by artists who became close friends, Anthony discovered a passion that turned work into something that never feels like work. Now, as an aspiring tattoo artist, he’s channeling his lifelong creativity into a new medium — one that lets his art live on skin.

Vanessa

Art has been something I have been passionate about for as long as I can remember. In my art I make it a point to capture every single detail, whether in a drawing, painting or photograph.

In August 2025, I was given an amazing opportunity to start an apprenticeship and put my artistic abilities to work.

Outside of the shop, I am also a barista and enjoy crafting drinks for people. I enjoy working with my hands and making things for people. Whether it's a cup of coffee or a piece of artwork. I am looking forward to my journey as I continue my apprenticeship.

Court

I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember—basically since I was old enough to hold a pencil. Growing up with my father who is an artist, creativity was always a huge part of my life. Watching his passion for art helped shape my own and gave me the drive to constantly create, improve, and push myself as an artist.

Before starting my journey into tattooing, I spent four years as an art teacher. While I loved sharing art with others, I eventually realized I wanted a career where creating could be at the center of my everyday life. So, I took a leap, left the career I had built, and completely switched directions to pursue something that felt more true to who I am.

Outside of tattooing, I’m also a painter and an artist who loves getting completely lost in the details. I’m drawn to artwork that makes you want to look twice—the tiny details, the texture, the thought behind every piece. I’ve always believed that the little things can make the biggest difference.

Changing my entire life and starting over was definitely scary, but honestly, I’ve never felt more sure that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. I’m incredibly grateful to be learning, growing, and chasing this new chapter as an apprentice at Revival Tattoo. I truly feel like the luckiest person to be surrounded by such talented artists while turning the thing I’ve loved my entire life into my career.
