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.
Emalee Hobbs
Tattoo Artist / Piercer
Emalee (emmigutsu inks) is a full-time tattoo artist and piercer! She completed her apprenticeship right here at Ink'd Tattoo Parlor and has been tattooing for about a year and a half now!From a very young age, she has strived to express the world as she sees it, as well as a love for helping others. Having drawn all throughout her childhood, she fell in love with self-expression through art. She spent the majority of her teenage and adult life exploring with different mediums. Becoming a tattoo artist was the next step in achieving her goal of expression and helping others.A lot of her core inspiration is derived from the shows and movies she grew up watching, such as Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Jellyfish, Scream, and pretty much every Cartoon Network show in the last 25 years. She mixes her love of various genres to create a nostalgic, cute, colorful style. Constantly challenging herself to step further out of her comfort zone and grow as an artist, she is willing to tackle almost any creative project.Outside of the shop, Emalee has two little demon cats, Juniper and Kirby, who she adores, and a beautiful chow-chow mix, Misha. Her hobbies, outside of drawing, include watching horror movies, going on small adventures or gaming. She loves cozy games like Slime Rancher, Unpacking, Spiritfarer, Monster Prom, and Animal Crossing, as well as Splatoon, Fortnite and Mario Kart. She also enjoys baking and basically every craft you could think of.
