Shannon
Pronouns: She/Her. Sir.
“Everything that comprises ‘today’ was made possible by what was planted yesterday. Crops or actions, it matters not, for what took root in the past shall grow in the future.”
Shannon is a black, queer tattoo artist, and award-winning piercer. She was born in Ohio, grew up in Aurora CO, and after 24 moves, she returned to Denver in 2024. With all of her moves, the only two states Shannon hasn’t been to are Washington and Alaska.
Tattooing has been Shannon’s dream since she was 16 years old and she has been professionally tattooing since 2016. She loves meeting new people and the challenge of something new on a daily basis. Shannon reports being attracted to this industry because it’s something, “I’ll never master, there’s always going to be a new technique or style to learn.
I want to be the change needed in the tattoo industry.” Shannon’s main goal with each session is to create a safe welcoming space for all people, listening to them, and create something to make them feel comfortable in their own skin. Shannon’s still mastering the art of portrait tattoos and otherwise considers herself an all-around artist. The weirder the request, the better! She loves an out-of-the-box tattoo idea!
In her spare time, Shannon rescues snakes, has two small dogs, and fishes. She also cosplays, crafts, and reads.
Shannon’s specialties include:
