Bob Tyrrell
Bob Tyrrell, son of an exceptional artist, initially aspired to follow in his father's footsteps. However, drawn to the allure of music, he traded his paintbrush for a guitar and spent years immersed in heavy metal bands while working in a factory. Yet, his passion for art never waned, and after getting his first tattoo just before hitting 30, he found himself captivated by the craft. Eager to delve deeper, Bob rekindled his love for drawing, eventually leading him to pursue tattooing. Under the mentorship of luminaries like Tom Renshaw at Eternal Tattoos, he honed his skills, transitioning from apprentice to full-time tattoo artist at the age of 34. Six years of dedicated work followed before Bob embarked on a journey of exploration, taking his talents on the road to various conventions and guest spots. Despite his success, Bob remains humble, acknowledging the countless individuals who've influenced and supported him along the way, including his father and renowned artists like Paul Booth, Robert Hernandez, and Guy Aitchison. With a burning desire to delve into fine art and painting while continuing his tattooing endeavors, Bob Tyrrell epitomizes the essence of an artist who's found his true calling amidst life's twists and turns.

Ruthless
Ruthless, is a talented tattoo artist with 20 years of experience she has established herself as a veteran in the industry, mastering many styles which show her deep passion for the arts. As a TV personality, she was a featured tattoo artist on the hit reality television show LA Ink, working for American Electric, the rival shop to High Voltage Tattoo shop.
As early as 2 years old, Ruthless pursued singing, performing, and involving herself in the arts, musically, theatrically, and through her drawing and painting, something she continues to do to this day.
The natural progression to tattooing was something that started when she was 19 years old. She was intrigued with the tattoo world and, deciding that this was a path she wanted to pursue, she packed her bags and moved to Bridgeport to begin an official apprenticeship with Tattoo Joe at his shop, Physical Graffiti. It was there that she learned the basics of tattooing and its rich history, and she quickly excelled and eventually began tattooing.
