​

Taylor brings in a refreshing vibrant energy that is hard to ignore. With lots of experience in modern art, she has a recognizable style to her pieces. Taylor's art radiates "connectedness" and comfortability in ones self. This talented being brings her illustrative style to skin with a afro/modern/spiritual twist.

CESAR

Tattoo Apprentice

Cesar is an upcoming artist from Columbus, OH who focuses on the dark realms of art. From heavy blackwork to dark psychedelia, he creates the feeling of nyctophillia in all his pieces. His focus lies in shadow arcana and his love of chaos theory which influences his work to push boundaries in both the art and spiritual communities. A large part of his artistic inspiration comes from his childhood in the Chicago art scene as well as his ancestral roots with the Huichol people of Mexico. Outside of tattooing, you can find him working on large-scale murals, skateboarding, hiking, and creative personal art passion projects.

Shop Photographer

E 

E is a trans non-binary artist raised in Columbus who's often inspired by their time living in D.C. and Los Angeles. Style is driven by the desire to help others see the power that lays within themselves. E does this with empowering photoshoots and connecting others to the human experience. In general, they are most motivated by three main things: the love of documentaries at a young age, the appreciation of life's raw expression, and living poetically.

​

Photography became a big part of their life during road trips, RV life, and meeting people from all around the world along the way. When they're not taking photos they're filming, cutting hair, or out somewhere enjoying life with a free and fluid spirit.
