Lena Scissorhands, vocalist of Infected Rain, has tattoos across her arms, hands, chest, back and legs. Interviews with Tattoo Life, Metal Hammer and Rockportaal document her early back tattoo, film references and personal explanations; photos show a broader collection of colour and blackwork.
Lena Scissorhands’ angel tattoo became a pair of protective wings
Lena says her first tattoo was a small angel on her back, made with her mother’s permission. Rockportaal reports that she saw it as protection during a difficult period. She later covered part of it with two large wings.
In the photos, the wings form a broad, nearly symmetrical shape across her upper back.
Her sleeves combine colour, portraits and compact blackwork
Tattoo Life’s photos show turquoise, red, orange and yellow across Lena’s arms, alongside dark outlines and shading. Flowers, faces and graphic shapes overlap in the sleeve compositions.
Small dark marks extend across her fingers and the backs of her hands. The interviews do not identify every one, so the photos document their placement without establishing each design’s meaning.
The Dracula tattoo connects Lena’s ink to gothic cinema
Tattoo Life connects the Dracula tattoo on Lena’s left leg to Gary Oldman’s performance in Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 film.
In the interview, Lena says she searched for years before finding Miguel Camarillo at Seven Tattoo Studio in Las Vegas to make the design.
Lena also said she was considering an Akasha tattoo, based on Aaliyah’s character in Queen of the Damned, for the inside of the same leg. In the interview, it is a plan, not a completed tattoo.
Lena’s film-inspired tattoos bring horror and fantasy onto her skin
Tattoo Life records her interest in Tim Burton, Johnny Depp, Disney, Yoda, Star Wars and horror. Those references sit alongside flowers, ornamental forms and abstract marks.
Portraits show a figurative face on one forearm and large blocks of colour and illustrative shapes on the other. Black outlines remain visible where the designs overlap.
The dark, hooded portrait brings her sleeves and hand tattoos close to the camera; a second fashion image shows the coloured sleeves and chest. The hood is clothing, not part of the tattoo design.
Her chest, back and legs extend the tattoo map beyond the sleeves
Tattoo Life and Rockportaal show coloured work across Lena’s chest and upper body, alongside the arm designs. A back photo reveals more of the collection, while a full-length portrait shows tattoos continuing onto her thighs and lower legs.
The leg photos show a rose-like flower on one thigh and a larger bright flower on the opposite lower leg. The interviews do not assign those designs a personal meaning.
Rockportaal reports that people sometimes assumed Lena had been in prison because of her tattoos. That comment describes how others read her appearance; it does not explain the designs.
The first years of Lena’s collection set its emotional direction
Tattoo Life dates the angel to 2002, when Lena was 16. It says her second and third tattoos came in Italy when she was around 18.
Lena’s visual history remains tied to self-expression
Metal Hammer describes tattooing as art and self-expression for Lena, and its profile treats her visible ink as part of her identity rather than a passing styling choice.
The interviews and profiles follow the collection from Lena’s adolescence through later life in Italy, Moldova and the United States.
