What Tyranicorn Specializes In
My main tattoo styles are neo traditional (cartoon, anime), watercolor, and color realism. Each style expands to include subcategories such as: glitter tattoos, galaxy and space tattoos, and thick graffiti linework. I primarily specialize in brightly colored tattoos using a rainbow color pallet. Each tattoo has the option to use black linework, colored linework, or no linework at all. My go-to style blends black neo traditional linework, new school colors, color realism features (furs, textures, etc.), and watercolor backgrounds. However, I use a combination of multiple tattoo styles to create unique pieces for each of my clients.
Tattoo Subjects I Love
All artists feel inspired by some things more than others. Things I really like to tattoo include:
Where to Put Your Next Tattoo
When considering getting a tattoo from me, forearms, calves, upper arms, shins, thighs, upper arms, back, shoulder, and chest piece projects take priority. However, I am also always down to do a silly/funny butt tattoo, if you want one. If you are looking to get your first tattoo and aren't sure where to put it, some of the easiest placements are on upper outer arms and outer thighs. Areas with thinner skin, close to bone, or on areas that don't see a lot of pain (inner arms, inner thighs) tend to be more sensitive.

Autobiography
Hey friends! It's Tyranicorn, but you are welcome to call me Ty for short. Any pronouns will do - but I am commonly referring to myself in third person as she/her! I wrote this snippet to give you a better insight to me as an artist in hopes that it will spark up a meaningful conversation or build a lasting relationship as tattoo artist/client.
Background I have been drawn to tattoos all my life. From the young age of slinging quarters, I was hustling "temporary tattoos" from my neighbors, babysitters, family, and family friends. Those elderly women didn't see it comin'. With my "flash sheet" of (poorly) drawn hearts, fruits, animals, and doodles, I sold my washable markers tattoos through the "streets" (otherwise known as my backyard). Art was one of my favorite classes; and I thrived in my high school's graphic design lab, as a teacher's assistant (of course, #NerdAlert). I continued my education and graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Stout. There, I double majored in Cross-Media Graphics Management and Digital Marketing Technology, double minored in Spanish and Web Technology, and emphasized in Sales and Marketing. Prior to joining the tattoo industry, I experienced a variety of others... Education, printing, corporate retail, food and dairy distribution, and corporate financial institutions, to name a few. I started my tattoo apprenticeship in February 2019, learning from my mentor and friend, Brandon Blackwood. After I finished my apprenticeship, I became a resident artist at A Dead Anchor Tattoo in Madison, WI. Living My Best Life After listening to countless inspirational webinars, podcasts, and presentations, I decided it was time to do something for me. I find heavily tattooed people to be walking museums and find those without tattoos (or those with minimal tattoos) to be blank canvases of opportunity. I believe that tattoos have the power to heal people (in the right context and mindset). Now, I don't mean literally heal people, but I have experienced the joy and positivity that comes from tattoos first-hand. It is my goal to provide beautiful, meaningful, colorful, and fun artwork to the tattoo industry. Whether you're looking for nostalgia, a memorial, motivation, self-esteem, or empowerment, it is my goal to provide you something beautiful you love to look at each and every day. On a Personal Note I am a collector by habit. Once I start acquiring things, I start mini collections until I die. First, it was lotion, perfumes, candles.... Now it’s pins, tapestries, books, pashminas, dream catchers, Funko POP! and Furrybones figurines, holiday village decor, miniatures, pinup art... The list continues (forever). I also have a kandi (pony bead bracelet) from every EDM concert/music festival I’ve ever been to! With that being said, I love dubstep. Zeds Dead, Herobust, Ray Volpe, and Spag Heddy are among my favorites. I look forward to getting to know you and building a friendship with all my new clients. If you have any questions about me that I didn't cover here, please feel free to ask them during your appointment! #XOXO Your Favorite Tyranicorn |
