Meet The Artists!
Tyler Roberts
Tattoo Artist / Owner
Tyler Roberts opened Ink'd Tattoo Parlor in 2020, in the midst of the pandemic. He originally opened shop in the same location that he had previously worked for, under another artist. After his first year, he was able to move into a bigger shop where he could continue to grow his business.
He has been in the industry for over 8 years and continues to grow and hone his skills. He specializes in realism and fine line, but he likes a challenge and will take on almost anything.
Outside of art, he's always happy to talk about his love of his many exotic pets, his family, LEGO's, taxidermy, and basically, all things odd.
