Hello there! I'm Lyrin, and i'm award winning tattoo artist that possesses a passion for Illustration. I absolutely love fairytales, mythology and the macabre. My greatest inspirations are Brother's Grimm, Vincent Nasta, Greek & Hindu Myths, Caitlin Hackett, Frank Frazetta, Ralph Bakshi, and many others.

For years I've been juggling work and illustrating. Three years ago, I made a huge life change. I decided to become a tattoo artist (this was big)! Going from being a corporate graphic designer to a freestyle-anything-goes... (in my opinion)... the opportunity to be a true artist has been the greatest experience of my life!

Since becoming a tattoo artist, i've be more creative than I've ever had the chance to in the past. Working with amazing clients and adorning their bodies with my work permanently, has been a dream come true, but I still feel a void in my heart. While I spend so much time and energy bringing other peoples visions to life, I have no time to work on my own creations. Most of my time and artistic energy has been directed to earning a living.

I'm incredibly humble and down to earth (or at least I'd like to think so, lol). Never be nervous to ask question about my work!
