I am a United States Air Force reservist with over 10 years of continued service. Beyond my military career, I am pursuing my degree in psychology. My love for the arts has been a part of me since childhood, and I found solace in painting during the pandemic lockdown.

​

In 2020, a new chapter unfolded as I ventured into the world of oil painting. This artistic pursuit provided me with a means to channel my emotions and ideas onto canvas, giving life to captivating visual narratives. However, my artistic journey took an intriguing turn when the shop owner, Addam North, approached me during Gallery Night. This marked the beginning of my journey into the realm of tattooing.

My tattooing journey is characterized by my affinity for the black and grey palette and my attraction to darker subjects. The unique style I've developed, reminiscent of smoke and ink, encapsulates my vision of artistry. This captivating approach showcases my artistic skill and demonstrates my ability to evoke emotions and tell stories through my tattoo work. With my distinctive style and fervor for exploring the shadows of art, I continue to craft thought-provoking pieces that mirror my experiences, passions, and creative essence.

To schedule outside of my available days or to discuss your vision please contact me through email or social media, I will do my best to get back to you within 24 hours.

Hello! My name is Finn Shuster. I am a queer and trans artist and use he/him and they/them pronouns. I have lived in Florida since I was two and currently reside in Pensacola. I have been creating and drawing my whole life and completed a BFA degree in digital art at the University of West Florida in May, 2024. I started my journey in May, 2023 and have been a fully licensed tattoo artist since October, 2023. Being able to tattoo is a privilege I couldn't be more grateful for.

I will always guarantee my work and try my best to create the best pieces I can. I enjoy stippling for shading but generally I don't have a distinct style quite yet. Overall, I believe I have the ability to achieve any style desired. I love tattooing things ranging from funky little designs to surrealistic and detailed pieces. The choices are endless!

I am available for booking all days of the week!
