About Arty

Arty came out of the woods of northern Minnesota holding a pencil, started his apprenticeship in 2003 and headed west to California in 2006. He has been at Funhouse since.

His promise is plain: clean, solid tattoos in whatever style you bring him, drawn to read at arm's length and to age well. First tattoos, matching pieces for couples and families, and walk-ins are his daily work, and he tattoos on both sides of Garnet Avenue.
