Alena Wedderburn
Alena Wedderburn is a contestant on the newest season of Ink Master, Season 16. She is an expert at Black & Gray realism with her ability to pull off beyond photo-realistic tattoos on all skin types.
Originally, Alena did not have plans to become a tattoo artist. She was leaning more towards becoming a Doctor (which her Mother pushed for) but, as she says “chemistry was a b*tch for me so it never happened and I changed plans at the last minute.” A few months before she graduated, she started taking architecture classes in a nearby city which is where her talents really started to show. Once she started winning awards for her architecture designs, that is when people started to notice and her Mother supported her new dream of being an artist professionally.
Alena is a resident tattoo artist at Inked NYC Tattoo Shop.
