Latoya Denique is the Founder of Scar Alchemy - Global Medical and Camouflage Tattoo, Atlanta’s premier medical and cosmetic tattoo salon. With over a decade of experience as an Oncology Nurse Practitioner, Latoya transitioned from the healthcare field to the tattoo industry in 2020. After a conversation with a breast cancer survivor, Latoya begin to search for artists who specialized in paramedical tattoos. What she discovered was a market that was virtually untapped and vastly underrepresented by women of color. A new mom at the time, Latoya could easily relate to the desire and need to feel confident in your body. Frustrated by the lack of representation amongst medical tattoo artists, Latoya founded SCAR Alchemy.

After months of research and intuitive guidance, Latoya developed her signature technique and begin specializing in Medical Camouflage Tattoos. Despite starting a new venture in the midst of a pandemic, Latoya has made a global impact in the tattoo industry. Her community of clients, students, and supporters is evident. She has a thriving social media prescience (her videos have over 9M views on Instagram), she  has helped hundreds of women get the confidence back, and has taught students online and in-person from  all over the world. She notably has one of the most ethnically diverse portfolios of any other camouflage tattoo artists in North America. Latoya loves smoothies, Rihanna, talking to her plants, learning about wildlife and planets from her incredible little human.

With a passion to help more women of color benefit from these services, Latoya has combined 10+ years practicing medicine with her natural gifts of art and healing to educate, inspire, and spread awareness about the transformational magic of medical tattoos.
