The Tae'Tu Family
OUR PRO TEAM
Tyler Bloomingdale
Tae'Tu Pro Artist
Hi I’m Tyler and I’m the owner and operator of Warhawk Tattoo in Layton, Utah. I’ve been tattooing professionally since 2007. I specialize in neo-traditional, neo-Japanese and realistic/surrealistic tattooing.
Art has been my passion for as long as I can remember. It doesn’t really matter what medium I’m using I just need to create.
Personally I’m a father of two kids one of which is following in my footsteps in California as a young adult and my second is a toddler.
I currently train other artists in the craft of tattooing and try to preserve the traditions of our culture by sharing what I have learned along the way.
If I were to leave you with anything to know me know that my legacy will be passed on to those who have the desire to push themselves further than they believe possible and that humility is the goal.

Casey Shaw
Tae'Tu Pro Artist
My name is Casey Shaw and I'm a tattoo artist from Keene, TX.
I'm happily married to Brittany Shaw and we have 5 babies.
I started my apprenticeship in 2008, since then I've tattooed off and on but didn’t take it seriously until the last 4 years.
​
I specialize in color tattoos traditional/neo-traditional small color.
My favorite thing about tattooing is the bonds you can make with people over a piece of art. If it’s a meaningful tattoo or even just a funny tattoo there’s always a good story behind it. I do it for my kids also to show them to never give up on their dreams no matter what.
I plan on tattooing for as long as I can and hopefully at least 1 of my 5 kids will take over one day.
​
I have won a few awards in the past two years thanks to friends and mentors guiding me along the way. I think the key thing is being around like-minded people. I never thought I would get here and I still have a lot to learn and plenty of room to grow for my future.

Greyson Grimm
Tae'Tu Pro Artist
I am Greyson Grimm based in Midvale Utah at the dark arts tattoo . I have been tattooing for eight years.
I was inspired by my brothers Branden and Thomas to push forward with my tattoo career , my previous background before tattooing was graffiti. Once I was introduced to tattooing an obsession took over and tattooing became my world . I was a Street kid that had never been anywhere, until tattooing I realized with skills behind a machine I could go anywhere! I did exactly that, I spent 3 and a half years in Germany tattooing in 2016 . I Returned back to my home town of Salt Lake City Utah in 2019 where I’ve been for the last 5 years. I focus and study impressionistic and contemporary styles of realism in high contrast black and gray technique , I have been focused in this style for the last three years and I have loved every second of it.
On my days off you can generally catch me hanging out with my beautiful woman, relaxing at home , life , and plotting world domination!

Tae'Tu Pro Artist
I'm Mae Beautiful Poison. I'm French from French Polynesia and currently based out of North Port, Florida. I've been tattooing in the traditional Polynesian style since I was a kid and professionally since I moved to America 6 years ago.
​
The root of my tattooing is in line work, and I believe the small details make a good tattoo great. I love to tattoo from traditional Polynesian, Japanese, sacred geometry to glitter and anything witchy. Every piece I create is a living work of art.
​
Coming from family of healers and as an empath, I also specialize in healing through tattooing, I can help people target blockages and empower them to find the inner strength to live their best life.
​
Currently I travel and tattoo internationally attending conventions around the USA and Europe. Look for me in a town near you !
