Brandon Plata
Gnomie G
Tattoo Artist
Florida is where the ink addiction began. I thought it would stop at the client side of the chair but I was wrong. I couldn’t shake the need to sit on the other side of the machine. I fell in love with the American traditional style of tattooing and it’s stuck with me till this day. You can see it in eveything I do. The big bold lines and solid bright colors. There’s just a simple joy in what started it all. There’s something in the basics that we can all enjoy and I love bringing that back to life everyday.

Kiarra Arellano
Stipple Queen
Tattoo Artist
Born and raised in Coal City, Illinois, I’ve been in love with art for as long as I can remember. What started as a creative outlet in my childhood has grown into my life’s passion. Every piece I create is fueled by that same spark, blending artistry and meaning to give clients something they’ll carry forever. This isn’t just my job, it’s my craft, my calling, and my way of leaving art in the world, one tattoo at a time.
I specialize in fineline, glitter effect, floral, neotraditional, and stipple work.
Jeremy Randolph
Traddy Grandaddy
Tattoo Artist
With over twenty years under my belt, tattooing has been a big part of my life and has been a great ride. These days I love tattooing traditional designs but I am usually up for whatever comes my way. Art has always seemed to play some sort of role in my life from winning awards in high school for drawings, writing music, painting, designing on a computer, building tattoo machines, playing guitar in my cover band to whatever else I create. Let me design a tattoo for you and be sure I will give my best to last you a lifetime.
