Tattoo Artist Charon Henning

Charon Henning started her tattooing career 15 years ago with her apprenticeship in 1993 in Allentown, PA, then as an artist in the Washington DC Metro Area and parts of Florida, gaining experience in a variety of tattooing styles and shop environments. Tattooing's shamanic history was always of interest to Charon and she has had the opportunity to work for a variety of events and organizations such as the Ritual Arts Collective and Spiritfire Festival as a ritual tattoo artist. Her consistency artistically and in temperament have earned her a loyal client base as diverse as her tattooing style.

Charon is an accomplished illustrator in pen and ink and colored pencil and a sculptor in mixed media. She has an Associate's Degree in Fine Art and recently completed Bachelor's Degree work in George Mason University's Individualized Studies program, earning a faculty award for Most Creative Final Project.

In addition to her artistic skills Charon is also a nationally-known variety arts performer. Swallowing swords, eating fire and walking on broken glass are all in a day's work for the woman billed as The Most Dangerous Beauty Alive. She has been featured in Shocked & Amazed! Magazine and is included in author Amelia Klem Osterud's upcoming book on tattooed female performers.
