🎨 DORM ROOM TO STUDIO OWNER

Satch () started tattooing in his college dorm at NYIT while on a basketball scholarship — self-taught, studying artists on YouTube, building it from scratch. That became his parents' basement. That became a private studio in the Arts District of Hyattsville, MD. That became Gremlins Tattoo Lounge, a multi-level shop he owns and runs today. His work is illustrative black and grey with realism influence, all custom, all drawn on iPad, and shaped closely around each client. He's also apprenticed other artists along the way, traveled internationally, and kept leveling up. The kind of origin story that shows in the work.

Denver Tattoo Arts Festival | Jun 5–7, 2026

🎨 BRIGHT, BOLD, AND BUILT FOR FUN

Mandy Jackal () is a Cleveland-based artist who travels the world making colorful, character-driven tattoos — and genuinely loves doing it. Anime, video games, pop culture, nature, animals: if it's got personality, she's into it. Her work runs bright and saturated, and her clients keep coming back as much for the experience as the ink. Comfortable, accommodating, and all custom.

🎆 TRADITIONAL BONES, MODERN ATTITUDE

Joshua Lovegaun () does pop traditional — the kind of work that hits hard at a glance and holds up for decades. Based in Denver and tattooing out of Mod Body Arts, he takes the bold outlines and solid structure of American traditional and fills them with bright, saturated color and humorous subject matter. The results are graphic, clean, and built to last/laugh. His compositions know exactly what they are: fun, confident, and designed to read from across the room. Another Denver artist who's right in his own backyard for this one.

🌑 BOGOTÁ TO COLORADO, ONE PORTRAIT AT A TIME

Johan Nieto () spent eight years perfecting black and grey realism in Colombia before bringing that precision to West Side Tattoo in Colorado Springs. His work lives in the details — skin texture, catch lights in the eyes, the weight of a shadow across a jawline. Portraits are his bread and butter, but his range covers animals, cinematic subjects, and surreal imagery with the same level of depth. He builds every piece around light and shadow, no heavy outlines needed. The result always reads like a photograph.

🎨 NEO-TRAD WITH AN ART NOUVEAU EDGE

Sam Castro () has 15 years in and an award shelf to show for it. She works in neo-traditional with deep roots in ornate blackwork and Art Nouveau influence — lady faces, creepy hands, botanicals, bugs, animals. The kind of subject matter that sounds like a list until you see how she ties it all together. International clientele, full creative freedom, custom every time.
