SHAWN RUSTE

A black-and-white portrait of a man with a shaved head, glasses, tattoos on his neck, and wearing a black shirt, standing against a plain background.

Tattooing since 2003, Shawn started out with an apprenticeship in the wilds of Canada. He specialises in illustrative and Japanese-inspired tattoos, combining bold design with strong storytelling. Nature, mythology, and Art Nouveau are major influences in his work.

Shawn is always pushing his creativity - constantly sketching, experimenting, and refining his style. Outside of tattooing, you’ll find him illustrating, painting, and wood carving, all of which continue to inspire and shape his approach to tattoo art.
