Shane's experience as a professional illustrator seemed like a natural transition into tattooing. He has a bachelors degree in fine arts from the Philadelphia University of the Arts. He began tattooing in the spring of 1997.

Shane has tremendous respect for his personal influences: Artists like Tom Renshaw, Paul Booth, Jack Rudy, Brian Everrett and Bob Tyrrell. Shane specializes in realism, portraits, wildlife, and horror. He also has his own line of flash available for purchase.

Shane travels around the country and internationally to tattoo conventions. While attending these events you can find him teaching seminars and producing some of his best work. Perhaps he's coming to a town near you?

Shane has been featured in many magazines and has won countless awards for his tattoos. He has achieved far more than he imagined and truly appreciates all of the recognition.
