Tyler Bloomingdale
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
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.

Micky Dagger
Artist
I left the Kansas City Art institute, and wanted a viable career in art. Through life circumstances I found tattooing and fell in love with the art and culture, and decided to start an apprenticeship. I started in 2006, so I've been tattooing for about 16 years now. My favorite style is anything XXL. The bigger the better. I love imagery that promotes emotion and is in your face. The best part is being able to connect with clients and be a part of their journey in my small way. Whether it's helping them grieve through celestial tattooing, overcoming past trauma, or even giving someone their first tattoo and helping them make a statement of individuality, it means the world to me. Dagger knows best!
