- Artist: Shaun
- Artist Review: Shaun is very helpful and congenial. He has done some very intricate work for me, and it has turned out awesome. (Better than I described or even IMAGINED) He pays special attention to detail, which is why I love him. He makes easy conversation while working on you, and has a bookcase full of all different things for you to look at. I've brought my sister to him twice, and I refer everyone I know to him. After seeing my tats, they all want to go to him anyway. =) He warned me about posting my tat pic on any sites, or even contributing it to magazines, because he fears someone may copy the art that belongs to me. (Who wants someone walking around with the same exact thing on their body forever as they have? What kind of self-expression is that?) I really appreciate the fact that he cares more about me than about making his name well known in magazines and whatnot. He is very nice, funny, and extremely talented.

While tattooing he is quiet and very focused on the tattoo, though he is quite friendly when you come in, and is very accomodating on working with you to come up with a design that fits your specifications.
