About the Artist

Tattoos By Shawn Goodwin

Detailed work. Honest conversation. A studio that feels like yours.

Shawn Goodwin has built a reputation in Marion and surrounding communities for producing tattoo work that holds up — both in the moment and years down the road. That means clean lines, thoughtful shading, and designs that were made for your body, not pulled from a book.

Whether you're coming in for your first piece or adding to an existing collection, the process starts with a conversation. You bring the idea; Shawn brings the skill to make it work on skin.

What We Do

Services built around
what you want

No cookie-cutter flash unless you ask for it. Every appointment is tailored to your vision, placement, and comfort.

Custom Design

Every tattoo begins as a conversation. Share your idea, reference, or feeling — and a design is created specifically for your body and your story.

Blackwork & Fine Line

Delicate linework, bold blackfill, or anything in between. Precision is the priority — every stroke placed with intention and control.

Cover-Ups & Corrections

Transform old or faded work into something you're proud to show. Strategic design and skilled execution can give your skin a second act.

Piercing

Professional body piercing with sterile, single-use jewelry. Ear, facial, and body piercings performed in a clean, comfortable environment.

Touch-Ups

Have an older piece that needs refreshing? Restoration and touch-up work keeps your tattoos looking sharp for years to come.

First-Time Clients

New to tattoos? No problem. The studio is a relaxed, judgment-free space. Shawn walks you through every step before the needle touches skin.

Client Words

What people say

“

Shawn took the time to understand exactly what I wanted before even opening his sketchbook. The final piece was better than I imagined and the whole experience was comfortable from start to finish.

“

My first tattoo and I was nervous. Shawn made me feel at ease, explained everything, and the result is something I absolutely love. Already planning my next one.

I brought in a faded old tattoo and thought it was beyond saving. Shawn redesigned it completely and now it looks brand new — if not better. Highly recommend.
