My name is Anna Katrina Sablan Lagera; my mother’s first name is Anna, and the same goes for my 2 older sisters. So, I go by Katrina.

Art has always been my anchor. I studied it all through school; afterwards I completed 2 certificates in Art & Design, then began a BFA at Whitecliffe College. Halfway through the degree, my now mentor - Mars - opened a door to me for a tattoo apprenticeship, and through it I found myself able to connect art, people and their stories for a living. Everyday my soul stirs surreally for the gravity of what I get to do; I am a student to everything, always in learning.

I’m a Filipina artist based in the Waikato, Aotearoa, New Zealand.

Tattooing since 2022 at Figure .9 Studio, Cambridge.
