About Shauna

Tattoos are rarely just about ink.
They’re about identity, memory, healing, and claiming something that’s yours.

People come to me at pivotal moments—after loss, during growth, at the start of a new chapter, or simply because they’re ready to be seen more fully. My role isn’t just to tattoo skin—it’s to listen, translate emotion into art, and create something that feels true long after the appointment is done.

Before tattooing became my life’s work, I spent years in web design. On paper, it was a solid career—structured, logical, predictable. But I was missing something essential: meaning. I wanted to build things that lived with people, not just on screens. So I walked away from stability to pursue something far more demanding—and far more honest.

Tattooing taught me grit. It taught me patience, humility, and responsibility. When someone trusts you with their body, their story, or their healing, you don’t cut corners. You show up fully. Every time.

My background in design gives me a strong foundation in composition, flow, and longevity—how a piece will age, move, and feel as part of you.

But what matters just as much is how safe and understood you feel in the process. Whether this is your first tattoo or your fiftieth, my goal is for you to leave feeling grounded, confident, and proud of what you carry.

This isn’t about trends.
It’s about intention.
It’s about creating work that still feels like you years from now.

"The shop itself is clean, cozy and comfortable. Shauna has done most of my tattoos (6 so far!) And I'm looking

forward to more. I've never had anything less than a stellar experience with Shauna. She is absolutely lovely and will make you feel at ease. She explains every step of the process and will check in often to make sure everything is okay.
She's a very talented artist with a unique style. I know if I come to her with an idea she will translate it into a gorgeous tattoo. With that being said, I love her flash as well, you really can't go wrong."
