Field Notes 09/26/2026

In Community

For a tattoo studio that also happens to contain an astonishing amount of original artwork, getting to share some of that work outside the studio was pretty special. Tyler and Alexis both had shows in the Vashon Center for the Arts’ recent multi-solo exhibition, Summer Arts Fest. Fun fact: Alexis built the frames that held Tyler’s art at this show. She is currently working on building more for the studio.

Thank you to everyone who visited the show to get lost in Alexis’ bird photos and lean into Tyler’s playful exploration of evolutionary consciousness through spacetime. And, of course, a huge thank-you to Vashon Center for the Arts. We are so grateful to be part of such an art-appreciating island community. 

Latest and Greatest in Tattoos

Tyler has recently completed some pretty exciting pieces inlcuding an anthropomorphic surrealism sleeve, his predrawn design: Hi-Fi Octopus, and a pretty cool halibut.

Tyler has also recently started a few exciting projects: a wild rose chest piece that will be full color and PNW-nature-themed leg sleeve.
