Erin has been a dedicated tattoo artist for more than two decades. Her journey into the world of tattooing began at the age of 16 when she received her very first tattoo right here at Creative Images—the very shop she now owns. Remarkably, Erin's entire career has been rooted in this establishment, making her a true testament to the shop's legacy and sense of family. Please contact Erin directly for all scheduling inquiries:[email protected]

Sierra (she/her)

Originally from Las Vegas, where she attended the Art Institute, Sierra started with Creative Images in 2019. As an apprentice under Erin and Ben, C.I. is where she got her start in the world of tattooing. She enjoys linework styles, vibrant color pieces, and is always excited to do anime characters. When she’s not inking, Sierra spends her time reading, playing guitar, and having long talks with her cat, Iris.

Elliott (he/him)

Beginning his apprenticeship in Nov. of 2023, Elliott is our newest addition to the Creative Images team. Born and raised in Andover, MN, he attended Drake University in Des Moines, IA,  for his Bachelor of Arts degree in 2010. When Elliott isn’t creating art he is either rock climbing, crafting, hiking, or even foraging. Tattooing is a form of art that Elliott feels, “Dusts off his spirit.” His current art style is highly illustrative while still possessing elements of naturalism. If you’d like to see Elliott’s art portfolio and connect with him through social media, all links can be found through Linktr.ee/funguytattoos
For scheduling or inquiries he can be contacted via email at [email protected]
