Shankey - Tattoo Artist

Hi, I'm Shankey, also known as Madd Dogg. I once dreamed of becoming an aeronautical engineer, but tattooing stole my heart. I'm a resident artist at Devilz Tattooz, where I specialise in large-scale realism and traditional tattoo styles, especially Polynesian designs. (Though, I'm just as passionate about creating smaller pieces).

I'm all about details and I ensure every line and shade is captured with care. I've been tattooing professionally since 2012, and despite all the years that have passed, it still feels like I'm just at the beginning of this incredible journey. There's so much more to learn, so many stories to share, and so many relationships to build. The future excites me-full of growth, creativity, and the opportunity to become a better artist and a humbler person each day.
