I’m Lady Redz co-owner of X-Dream X-Pressionz Studios. I’m a tattoo artist, piercer, and marketing manager of the company.
X-Dream X-Pressionz Studios is the foundation of my vision of spreading the importance of self expression. Hoping to make a way for young artists, and organize events and programs to give
an outlet. Records and X-Dream X-Pressionz are now organizing a board for our non-profit programs for mentoring and artistic development for the community.

I am an award winning artist. I've done a lot of pieces for the state of Maryland. Raising money for the war on drugs, the board of Education and the Department of Juvenile justice. I also do clothing design and model and artist management and development with the help of The BackTrunk Records Model Development manager
Joanna Ricco. I also am a recording and vocalist for BackTrunk Records. Director and vocalist for "Simple Minded" Band. In my spare time I love to make music and hope to reach lives by doing so….

My name is Aurorae AKA “Rae” I am Co-Owner of X-Dream X-Pressionz Studio.  I am a tattoo artist, piercer and accounts, projects, & planning manager.  So basically I handle a lot of the business aspects of X-Dream X-Pressionz.  I have been artistically inclined since youth but never dreamed of using it to make money.  Lady Redz & I have been friends for about 9 years and one day we sat down and expressed each other’s dream for the future.  It coincided and in a few months came to fruition through the studio.  I came from a long line of job experiences and realized that Corporate America was not for me.  Through years of hard work & realizations from God I have been able to achieve artistic freedom.  We’ve been open for 2 years and we have become an artistic force in the community.  In my spare time I am also a rapper.  I have been rapping for about a 2 ½ years.  Music has always been a major influence in my life and is something I cannot deny.  Some of my music influences are of course 2pac and Nas, Mobb Deep, Wu-Tang and all the way down south like UGK, Scarface and Devin tha Dude to name a few. 

I've been working on my craft for the majority of my life. the foundation of of my craft came from Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Maryland College of Art and Design. My artistic abilities are mainly fine arts and illustration.

I've always been interested in the art of tattooing. Even getting tattooed by artists, that I knew their abilities were no match for mine. Due to my creativity in mixed media and my schooling over the years, I decided to make my transition into tattooing 3 1/2 years ago. Definately a different kind of medium and worldto get in. Many closed doors and no open arms, but still a passion burning inside of me, waiting to be unleashed. Frankly I got my break which wasn't much, but a break nontheless. I found a shop in the wall in D.C. on H Street in N.E. where I was told to get my own tattoo startup kit. With some pointers, I was basically self-taught. With a rocky beginning, and now a future with unlimited endeavors. Now a full time professional tattoo artist at X-Dream X-Pressionz surrounded by extraordinary artists from different walks of life sharing the same passion for art.
