About Adriana

A life-long artist and creative, my portfolio spans black and grey illustrative realism, fine line, and traditional—styles I’ve admired since I began my career. Following my licensure in 2019, I have tattooed in and around the St. Louis area, recently joining Eldritch Brothers in 2026.

Much of my art is inspired by my interests, from the beauty of nature, classical art, and historical intrigue, to high fantasy, the macabre, punk, and pinup subculture. Special interests of mine include Tudor-era history, Classic and Soviet Russian literature, philosophy, folklore, mythology, theology, and Renaissance art.

The name ‘prettyvacantt’ originated from my involvement in the punk scene. Years ago, I created an Instagram to showcase my art and DIY clothing, drawing inspiration from Sex Pistols’ Pretty Vacant. The page later became a way to share my apprenticeship online and now serves as a digital portfolio I update every so often.

Outside of the shop, I’m a literary fiction writer, Sphynx cat mother, and traveler.

My debut novel, Evangeline, is forthcoming. More of my writing can be found in various literary journals.
