Ever since Shannon was little, she has always had a love for all things art. She grew up drawing in mainly black and gray mediums, and had a certain nack for black and gray realism. Anything that has to do with nature? She can't wait to do it. Unfortunately starting out in the industry was pretty rough, not only as an artist, but even before that as an apprentice, all the way back to a client getting her first tattoos. She had been bullied out of designs, sexualized and feeling unsafe, and feeling like she didn't have a choice at the end of the day over what was going to be on her body permanently. This fueled her motivation to create a safe, welcoming environment for her clients.
