Joy Shannon
Art is in my veins: It is my life, my purpose, my heart. Creating beautiful things to share with the world is my central passion, whether that means Celtic folk music or ritual tattoos.
I am a musician, visual artist, tattooist, and author.
I create mixed-media visual artworks with painting and printmaking methods alongside emotive musical recordings and performances with my band Joy Shannon and the Beauty Marks. In 2013, I apprenticed with the tattoo/graffiti artist Mike Giant, and I now travel around the world tattooing.
