“Leena Totten” 

is an emerging artist and tattooer whose work spans the realms of fine art painting and traditional tattooing. As a first-year apprentice, she is forging her path under the mentorship of two seasoned professionals—Mitchell "Desorock" Desouza, a 20-year tattooing veteran and owner of Virtuoso Tattoo, and her father, George Totten, a globally respected tattoo artist with over 30 years of experience. tattoo style is rooted in bold American traditional designs, but her versatility as a tattooer is evident as she embraces a range of styles with eagerness and dedication. She is driven by a passion for learning and pushing the boundaries of her craft, making her a promising talent in the tattoo world.

In addition to her tattooing, Leena’s fine art paintings reflect a bold, abstract approach. Working on a large scale, her paintings showcase vibrant color, dynamic composition, and the energy of expressive mark-making. She draws inspiration from the strength of graphic forms and the raw emotion of abstract expressionism, creating pieces that invite the viewer to engage with their own sense of interpretation.

A second-generation artist, Leena’s artistic lineage and upbringing have deeply influenced her approach to both painting and tattooing. With a family steeped in the tradition of tattoo artistry, she combines the rich history of the craft with a fresh, modern sensibility, blending precision and creativity across both mediums.

Leena is deeply committed to creating a safe and welcoming space for women to receive their tattoos. She actively works to provide an environment where women can feel comfortable, confident, and respected throughout the entire tattoo process. Her goal is to empower other women to express themselves through body art in a supportive and judgment-free setting.

Leena’s target clientele includes fellow parents and individuals with flexible schedules, as her availability generally falls between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Her schedule makes her an ideal artist for those who are seeking a tattoo or fine art piece and who appreciate the balance of creative dedication and family life that Leena brings to her practice.
