TANNER
{ guest tattoo artist }

Tanner is a guest artist here at Heron Mark Tattoo. He was carved from ice in his homeland of MN. This individual had little artistic abilities, but through hard work and guidance has shown that the desire to learn and grow will outperform gifted talents. 

 

Tanner's adventurous personality and ambitious work ethic is what drew him into the world of tattooing. When he is not tattooing you can find him fly fishing in the rivers, climbing on cliff faces, or wrenching on his motorcycle. Tanner enjoys doing all styles and is the wizard of walk-ins.  â€‹â€‹â€‹
