THE HAPPY YOKAI TATTOO CREW

BRIAN SVENIKER SHAY

RESIDENT TATTOO ARTIST & SHOP OWNER
Known for his wacky, bold, and colorful tattoos, Brian is here to make the world better, funner, and weirder, one tattoo at a time. His favorite things to tattoo are: Yokai, DnD and fantasy characters, colorful Traditional Western and Japanese designs, Anime, and custom illustrative work in Black-and-Gray.
His goal is to maintain a tattoo shop that treats every client with the respect and care they deserve, and attract or sponsor plenty of talented, dedicated, compassionate artists who share this idea with joy de vie, but he would also like to build a community around this.

DANI DAKE

RESIDENT TATTOO ARTIST
Known for her bold, playful, and colorful approach to tattooing, Dani brings a mix of tradition and personality to every piece. Her work blends classic American Traditional roots with vibrant illustrative details, creating tattoos that feel both timeless and one-of-a-kind.
Dani’s technical versatility allows her to move fluidly between different art styles — from bold traditional designs to more simple-states delicate fine-lines. She loves collaborating with clients to transform their ideas into meaningful works of art, creating pieces that reflect personal stories while still carrying her signature boldness and flair.
