My Bio
Frank La Natra was born and raised in Brooklyn. He always had a penchant for art and music. Originally a music major and talented bass player, he maintained his passion for drawing, tattooing and animation. He formulated his artistic endeavors at the School of Visual Arts and the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale where he received his Bachelor of Science in illustration.

Currently living in Fort Lauderdale, Florida where his career in tattooing took off and led him to become a published, award-winning and internationally known artist in the industry. He is one of the promoters of TattooLaPalooza, Miami’s largest and most well-known tattoo convention, as well as the lead artist at Eternal Ink Custom Tattoo Studio in Davie, Florida. He has also created La Natra Art Studios where he freelances as an illustrator and fine artist.

His Art is a fusion of Animation and Fine Art. He creates his work using different media and substrates, from his beloved blue lead pencil on paper, to digital art, oil paints, and tattooing on flesh. On his downtime, he spends time with his girlfriend, playing video games and being a die-hard Star Wars fan.
