BRANDY GONZALES - OWNER & ARTIST
HELLO, I'M BRANDY GONZALES, A PASSIONATE AND DEDICATED ARTIST, A LATINA ENTREPRENEUR, MOTHER OF TWO, AND OWNER OF TAT TATTOO, A VIBRANT TATTOO AND BODY ART SHOP NEWER TO THE EAST LANSING COMMUNITY.
MY JOURNEY IN THE TATTOO INDUSTRY BEGAN UNEXPECTDLY WHEN THE WORLD WAS OUT OF ORDER. DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, I HAD GOTTEN INTRODUCED TO TATTOOING. WITH THE WORLD AT A STANDSTILL, I SEIZED THE OPPORTUNITY TO DIVE HEADFIRST INTO THE WORLD OF TATTOO ART. DRIVEN BY A LIFELONG LOVE FOR ART AND CREATIVITY, I KNEW THIS WAS THE START TO SOMETHING MUCH MORE AMAZING. I IMMERSED MYSELF IN LEARNING AND ABSORBING AS MUCH KNOWLEDGE AS POSSIBLE. THIS INTENSE FOCUS SPARKED A PROFOUND PASSION WITHIN ME, AND I'VE BEEN DEDICATED TO HONING MY CRAFT EVER SINCE.
WELCOME TO TAT TATTOO, FOUNDED BY BRANDY GONZALES IN 2021. ORIGINALLY ROOTED IN LANSING'S SOUTHSIDE, WE'VE RELOCATED TO THE HEART OF EAST LANSING IN 2024. COME EXPERIENCE THE BEST VERSION OF US YET! WITH A PASSION FOR ART AND CREATIVITY, BRANDY HAS TRANSFORMED THE STUDIO INTO A VIBRANT SPACE ALLOWING CREATIVE ART AND SELF EXPRESSION FOR ALL AGES. OUR KID-FRIENDLY ENTERTAINMENT SERVICES OFFERED WILL BRING FUN AND ART TO KIDS, MAKING TAT TATTOO A HOT SPOT EVERYONE CAN ENJOY!!

SHAWNNA- TATTOO ARTISTS
I AM SHAWNNA, AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A PROFOUND LOVE FOR ART AND TATTOOS, AND A STRONG ENTHUSIASM FOR CARTOONS. I FIND SOLACE AND INSPIRATION IN THE WORLD OF ART, AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FASCINATED BY THE WAY THAT TATTOOS CAN BE USED TO EXPRESS ONE'S PERSONALITY AND EXPERIENCES. CARTOONS, ON THE OTHER HAND, BRING ME JOY AND REMIND ME TO NEVER LOSE SIGHT OF MY IMAGINATION. THESE THREE PASSIONS COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER BEAUTIFULLY AND HELP ME TO SEE THE WORLD IN A UNIQUE AND VIBRANT WAY.
EXTREMELY EXCITED TO BE HERE AND LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH Y’ALL SOON!
