Hi! My name is Sarah Grace, I’ve been tattooing for 7 years. Since I was young I have always been drawing, painting, making things with clay, anything creative really. I love that I still get to have that in my life and in my career. I apprenticed under Matt Monteleon at Honorable Ink Tattoo in Beacon NY. The history and culture of tattooing is very important to me. I specialize in an array of styles including black and grey, traditional, color, custom script, fine line, and more. I do a lot of memorial pieces, florals, and character designs, including lady faces all the way to Frank floating in the sea with his Rum Ham. I really love working with my clients and helping them figure out how to make their ideas into a tattooable piece of art. When I’m not tattooing or painting you can find me working on my car, fishing, baking, or wandering around your local museum. I also love all things nerdy, and yes- I would love to do your tattoo of Yoda and Vader riding one of those double bikes, just say the word. I hope we get to do a cool tattoo together, and I look forward to working with you. Sarah Grace @sarahtattooer

Hello! My name is Christian. I specialize in black and grey tattoos and love doing dot work, mandalas, floral, ornamental and illustrative. I've created art since I was a child which eventually led me to CU Boulder, where I graduated with an art degree and a minor in French. I have since worked for a local artist aiding in the creation of large-scale abstract paintings and other contemporary works.  I have also painted murals and have a love for photography. Although I work with several mediums, diving into the world of tattoos has been a game changer. In my free time I enjoy hiking with my dog Onyx, climbing, boarding, and anything with adventure! Check out my work! IG @christianfaith_tattoos

Greetings and Salutaions. I'm Juan. I've been making tattoos at West Side for the better half of my 12 years as a scab merchant. I enjoy long walks on the beach, hunting unicorns, and looking like chewbaccas illegitimate cousin.  I will tattoo almost anything you put in front of me if you'll let me be your huckleberry. I've learned how to walk and write twice, which was super fun. So come down to get some bold and colorful scabs. @obijuantattoos on the instagrams

I’ve been tattooing for about 15 years, starting my apprenticeship in Oslo, Norway. I’ve been drawing since I was a kid, and tattooing just felt like the right place for that to land. Early on, I got deep into the history and fundamentals. I wanted to understand why bold designs hold up and how tattoos change as they heal. I started with black and grey and lettering, but made it a point to learn every style so I could give people something solid, no matter what they came in for. Now my work blends strong traditional foundations with Japanese-inspired flow and movement, leaning into an illustrative style that flows with the body. I’m always learning and refining. I’m just trying to keep growing and add something meaningful to the craft.
