Shayla Brauner is our Tattoo Apprentice. She has been in her apprenticeship under Mike Thompson-Hill since April 2023 and tattooing since December 2023. She is no stranger to us, she started as our Desk/Social Media gal! She has yet to hone in on a distinct tattooing style. She is open to all concepts. However, she is only focusing on script on the arms and legs at this time. She has taken many art classes at the U of S. She has a pet Green Cheek Conure as well as a 9 year German Shepard Lab puppy that is just a baby <3 She is excited to meet you!
What made you decide to pursue tattooing?
Well, it’s a loaded question! I always wanted to be apart of the community. Initially I wanted to focus on my photography - tattoo photography specifically. In my photos I wanted to portray the artist and their individual characteristics! Most people focus on the work of the tattoo artist but I wanted to focus on the artist themselves and what makes them create such beautiful art. Then Tantrix expanded and with the feed back I received on my art I believed this was something that I could do and and truly love. Now, I get to learn from the artists around me and build on my own characteristics as an artist within the community that I always wanted to be apart of <3
