Hey! I’m Shannon, a tattoo artist who traded scrubs for ink. I started tattooing in 2023 after working as a registered nurse in longterm acute care and psychiatric emergency medicine. I completed my tattoo apprenticeship under Ricky, the owner of the shop, where I developed strong technical foundations. While I still hold my nursing license, art has always been my true passion, and tattooing is now my full-time focus.

Before tattooing, I created commissioned portraits using drawing and oil painting, specializing in people and pets. That background heavily influences my love for realism tattoos, though I enjoy working in other styles too.

I’m big on making sessions relaxed and comfortable. I love talking with clients and helping bring meaningful ideas to life.



When I’m not tattooing, I’m usually at the gym, hiking, riding dressage with my horse, gaming, watching nerdy movies, or hanging out with my husband, my dog and two cats.
