Shauna, Lead Artist & Shop Owner
I was born and raised right here in Las Vegas! I have been tattooing since 2010 (2009 if you include the bedroom sessions on an ex and trusting friends) My passion for nature and geology is the keystone to my art. The Mojave desert is my muse and beloved home.
I enjoy many different styles of tattooing and projects of all size; big or small, wanna-do’s pieces or customs— I’ll do it all⭐️
I love tattooing and everything it has given me. 17 years in and still learning. Grateful to be this far, to be able to open up a spot like this for other artists, and to finally feel ‘home’ in a shop.
When I started this career at 19 I was never quite sure where this would lead me, however it was never about the destination… and man, what a long strange trip it’s been. My goal is that walking into the studio feels like visiting your coolest relative—who also happens to give you the best tattoo of your life, whether it's from me, or any of our amazing tattooers - our family here at Love Bite Tattoo.

Questions, darling?
Tell us what you’re dreaming up, your ideal timing, and whether you want flash, custom, or a tiny experimental piece. We’ll follow up with availability and deposit details.
Before you roll up your sleeve…
Here’s what most first-time and returning clients ask before booking. If you’re still unsure, just drop a note in the form below.
Does getting a tattoo really hurt that much?
Pain is super personal, but most clients describe it as annoying rather than unbearable—like a persistent cat scratch. We’ll walk you through breathing, take breaks as needed, and never shame you for tapping out if you need to reschedule for a second session.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Arrive hydrated, eat a decent meal beforehand, and avoid alcohol or blood thinners for at least 24 hours. Wear comfy clothes that give easy access to the spot we’re tattooing, and bring any references you love (photos, drawings, screenshots).
Do you take walk-ins?
Yes! We reserve time each week for flash and tiny-tat walk-ins. Weekends fill up fast, so calling or DMing ahead helps, but you’re always welcome to swing by and check availability.
How do deposits and rescheduling work?
A small deposit is required to secure your booking and is applied toward your final total. You can reschedule once with 48+ hours’ notice without losing your deposit. No-calls/no-shows forfeit the deposit, as we’ve set that time aside just for you.
What about aftercare?
We’ll send you home with printed and digital aftercare instructions, plus recommended products. In short: keep it clean, lightly moisturized, out of direct sun, and don’t pick. If you ever have concerns during healing, you can text or email a photo for quick advice.
