Maggie Shields


I've been tattooing for five and a half years now. I am a versatile artist, with a passion for traditional and neotraditional styles, with bold colors, shading and lining. It is important to me to fill space properly so that it covers and compliments the shapes and curves of the body. Always maximizing the depth and life of my pieces, to make them jump off the skin.

I seem to have a gift for turning vague, "scribbly" ideas into what the customers want, taking the time a custom design needs to look polished. It's amazing what happens when a customer trusts your opinion as an artist about size and placement with some room for artistic freedom.

Choosing an artist for your tattoo means feeling comfortable with them as a person. I enjoy taking time with people to try and connect with thier personality and the tattoo that they see for themselves. "When a customer trusts your vision and they get to see it come to life, no matter what style I'm working in, its a great feeling watching someone leave with a smile and a piece they love." Its also nice when they tell thier friends.

Cheers to many more years of tattooing. I love what I do, and I hope you love it too!
