Brandon Ellis

  Brandon’s introduction to the world of tattooing back in early 2000 was an (in the right place at the right time) kinda situation. Thinking that his path was in graphic design it all changed once meeting the coolest dude on the planet, Dan Shaw. Not knowing anything about tattoos or how the business worked Brandon found himself working as a counter guy/tube cleaning/needle making working for tips. Along with Dans friendship and guidance other opportunities came about. Before long he found himself working full time at a well known studio surrounded by other talented artist, Over the next few years of reproducing 90’s flash and 1000s of kanjis, the scene practically changed overnight when tattoo reality shows started popping up. Now instead of pulling flash off the wall, it became more popular to be asked to create more custom work.

  In 2007, deciding to take a random road trip he found himself in DFW Texas. Now married with a daughter, Texas has become his new home Currently tattooing alongside the crew at Daddy Jacks Body art in Keller TX. Brandon’s artwork was influenced by his environment growing up. Skateboards, punk shows, DC life, aliens and whatever it was that they put in the koolaid. From Illustrative weirdness to soft floral designs, his portfolio has a little of everything but he is always up to do some of the more abstract, over exaggerated illustrative type stuff usually found posted on social media or randomly scattered about around his station.
