Shawn Conn
(aka: Shantyshawn, Shanty) apprenticed under Todd "Bare" Barry,
who learned the craft from Sailor Barney, of Sailor Fred's
Golden Needle fame. The first family of tattooing in Rochester.
He was also given a lot of valuable guidance by Doc Yager and
Angelina as he embarked on his career as an ink jockey.
He opened a shop in 1991 in Brockport, NY with "Bare" called
Wild Side Art, Inc, which eventually moved to Holley and was
ultimately closed in 1995. He then moved to Erie, PA where he
tattooed at various shops as a guest artist, until moving back
to NY in 1997, where he tattooed part time in Brockport with
Angelina and her sister Lidia at Cosmic Rainbow II, until he
ended up working at Wild Side (just a coincidence) in Rochester,
NY. In 1999 Wild Side opened up a second location in Henrietta,
NY headed up by Shawn and was eventually taken over by The
Ultimate.
In 2006, Shawn began to cut back his hours, in order to
concentrate on his desire to pursue a painting career. His work
has been in numerous shows around the country and world,
including LA, Denmark and Thailand. He's also become
involved in the apparel industry designing t-shirts, such as the
heralded "Blackbird's Attackin' in the Dead O' Night" at Design
by Humans, as well as shirts for Artcotic, Futureshirts and
others.
Shawn has had his work featured in various trade publications
and has amassed an impressive collection of awards over the
years. He specializes in dark art, black & grey and animal and
human portraiture, but he's developed a large following of fans
due to his versatility and willingness to be available to his
clients.
Shawn has had his work
featured in various trade publications and has amassed an
impressive collection of awards over the years. He specializes
in black & gray and full color dark art and pop surrealism.
Shawn only works a couple days a week, due to his busy art
career, but he tries hard to keep his booking out only a few
months. If you'd like to get tattooed by Shawn, you have to have
patience, but we guarantee the wait will be well worth it.
