Shannon Hicken bottom, a Mansfield based tattoo artist. Specialising in linework, mandalas, abstract, and colour tattoos. I studied art and design in college before approaching a tattoo apprenticeship with Shane at Terrier Tattoo Studio. I started tattooing because I wanted to help people translate art onto their body and help promote body confidence. I always found it interesting that people can express their emotions through tattoos and incorporate tattoos into their identity. In my free time, I enjoy drawing and watercolour painting.

Just beginning my tattoo journey in August this year, I’m already leaning toward the world of fantasy‑inspired tattooing, a style that feels like home after a lifelong love of imaginative art—especially anything involving fairies. As I continue to grow and develop my craft, I’m focused on building a strong foundation, exploring the storytelling potential of fantasy artwork, and shaping a style that reflects both my creativity and the sense of wonder that first drew me to this genre.
