Megan Massacre was born Megan Woznicki[6] in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 8, 1985.[7] She grew up with a passion for all forms of art. She became so good with a calligraphic pen that, in high school, she made money doing wedding invitations.[8]
Her interest in tattooing began when she was 14 years old, but she had to wait a few years to start learning the technique because of her age and because she lacked the money to pay for classes.[9] At age 18, she did her first tattoo piece. To make tattooing a full-time job, she quit her job at a furniture store. She bounced around from shop to shop to learn new styles, and once she felt confident enough, she would move on to another shop. A few years later, her tattoo work was published for the first time on a local magazine cover with her Megan Massacre nickname. In 2010, she got an offer to appear on the TLC reality television show NY Ink.[10] She then also appeared on other tattoo-related shows Bondi Ink Tattoo and America's Worst Tattoos. In 2014, she opened a tattoo shop, Grit n Glory, in New York City. She has more than one million followers on Instagram and celebrity clients like Zayn Malik.[11]
In 2021, Inked included her in its list of the "10 Female Artists Who've Changed the Tattoo Industry".[12]
She is also an animal enthusiast, supporting the ASPCA and PETA and living a vegetarian lifestyle.[13]
