Crafting Unique Tattoos with Passion

My name is Shelby McDonald and originally I’m from Wisconsin. I moved to Massachusetts to get married. I have two beautiful children and a wonderful Siamese cat named KeKe.

I’ve always been drawing and designing since a young age. Turning in homework that was almost illegible with the amount of doodles that spanned the paper. During those pivotal young years I decided that I wanted to be a tattoo artist. I secured my apprenticeship in 2010 underneath the late and great Mario Zapata, may he forever rest in peace. I’ve had the opportunity to work along the sides of many great and talented artists who quickly became my friends.

Throughout the years I have been continually growing and expanding my artistic capabilities. I am a life long learner and feel that there is always more to know and to create. It brings me great joy to see the light in the eyes of the people who I touch with my art work and I want to continue to do so until I am too old to hold a tattoo machine.
