“I’m a piercer from Ardmore, Oklahoma, and my journey started right here at Tat2Lou’s. First as a client, where each visit felt more like coming home. Over time, the shop became more than just a place I went to, it became a family I deeply connected with. Eventually, I asked to grow with them and turn that connection into something more. Now, I’m proud to be on the other side of the chair, creating a space where people feel safe, seen, and free to express themselves in ways they might not be able to elsewhere. Piercing has opened my heart to the stories and souls of those who sit with me, and I’m grateful for every bond it brings.

So, are you ready to get pierced or just come say hey? I’d love to see you in the studio.”

“I’m from Ardmore, Oklahoma and I’ve always had an eye for creating, but also accessorizing. Growing up, I had an image of myself, tattoos and piercings of course, and could not wait to bring that vision to life. In 2021, just after high school, I began to practice piercings on silicone models and eventually myself. Finally beginning to express who I knew I’ve always been. About the same time, I started coming into Tat2Lou’s for more expression (this time through tattoos). Here I met KD and Lou, who would be my future mentors and Jax as my artist. Seeing piercing as a profession, the idea of bringing that same self expression to others, ignited my soul. Flash forward to 2025, Tat2Lou’s offered me an apprenticeship, opening the door to professional piercing and the chance to give others the fulfillment and confidence of piercings. My goal is just that. With each piercing, whether simple or more complex, I hope to bring your image to life. I’m eternally grateful to everyone at Tat2Lou’s and every person I have the opportunity to work with.”

“Originally from Chickasha, Oklahoma, I’ve been creating art since I was seven, working with everything from pencil and paint to clay. I did my first tattoo at 11, and quickly realized this was more than just a craft, it was a way to tell powerful, personal stories. Inspired by the emotional depth of memorial tattoos, I began tattooing professionally at 19, driven by a desire to help people honor their loved ones and mark meaningful moments in their lives. My work is rooted in connection, care, and creativity, and I approach each piece as a collaboration; one that reflects the unique story, spirit, and vision of every client. Whether it’s a small tribute or a full custom piece, I’m here to create something that truly lasts.”

Resident Tattoo Artist

“Born and raised in Wichita Falls, TX, I got into tattooing in 2020 during the pandemic as a way to reconnect with art. I started with a machine I bought online, tattooing myself, friends, and family while steadily developing my skills and finding my style. In February 2022, I teamed up with Lou, and together with KD, we’ve built a creative, welcoming environment and a community of clients we genuinely value. Over time, I’ve worked in a range of styles, but I’m especially drawn to American traditional, neo-traditional, anime, blackwork, pop culture–inspired, and illustrative designs. I now live in Denton with my loving wife, Jordyn, who’s been by my side through every step of this journey. I’m grateful whenever someone trusts me with their skin, and I take pride in bringing their ideas to life in a memorable way.”

“I’m a Native American artist from Ardmore, Oklahoma. From a young age, I’ve always had a pencil and paper in my hands and a passion for creating art. In high school, I had a set vision to go to college and throw all my creativity behind me instead of pursuing it. Receiving my first tattoo machine from my dad for Christmas changed my outlook. After tattooing my older brother for the first time, I realized tattooing was a calling I couldn’t ignore. What started with tattooing myself, friends, and family became something much bigger. Seeing people light up when they saw their tattoos come to life showed me that tattooing was a way to connect with myself and express my love for art. My professional tattoo journey began in March of 2026, when I left college, and introduced myself to Tat2Lou’s. I’m always excited to explore black and grey realism, illustrative, anime, neo-traditional, and Native-inspired artwork. As an apprentice, my goal is to learn from the artists around me and find my own style through this new chapter.”
