Shane O'Neill is a very talented self-taught artist excelling in all mediums, but his true calling lies in the art of tattooing. He credits his brother with motivating him to learn how to tattoo. Shane's experience as a professional illustrator seemed like a natural transition into tattooing. He has a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the Philadelphia University of the Arts. He began tattooing in the spring of 1997. Shane has tremendous respect for his personal influences: Artists like Tom Renshaw, Paul Booth, Jack Rudy, Brian Everrett and Bob Tyrrell.
