Meet Noelin Wheeler

Specializing in: Fantasy color realism, surrealism, fine-line black and grey.

I'm Noelin Wheeler, a master of my craft whose passion for tattooing is evident in every piece I create. My captivating performance on SpikeTV's Ink Master series, "Master Shop," cemented my position as one of the most versatile and sought-after tattoo artists worldwide.

Specializing in vibrant color saturation and fine-line black & grey realism, I've developed an exceptional skill set, allowing me to bring a wide range of tattoo styles to life, including comic book, 3D art, space, sci-fi, realism, and surrealism. I'm committed to pushing the industry's boundaries, constantly striving to improve and innovate, while always honoring tattooing's traditions.

My dedication to my clients shines through in every piece. I approach each project with a deep commitment to bringing my clients' vision to life, always striving for tattoos that are bold, lasting, and deeply meaningful. With roots in Alaska, where I began my tattoo career in 1997, I've honed my craft over the last two decades, working in some of the country's most prestigious tattoo shops.

From my early apprenticeship at Dragon Ray's Tattoo in Anchorage to my own private studio, my journey has taken me across the country and around the world. I've worked in renowned tattoo shops in Las Vegas, Nevada, and toured with Ozzfest, gaining a unique industry perspective and the chance to work with the best. In 2017, I competed on Ink Master, joining "team Basilica," which placed third during the live finale in New York.

My talent has led me throughout the US, Europe, and the UK, where I've appeared at conventions and guested at some of the world's most prestigious tattoo shops. When the global Covid pandemic halted travel and conventions, I launched "Savage Son Tattoo," a reboot of my private studio in Austin, Texas, where I now reside. You can find me at Savage Son Tattoo or on the road, creating exceptional tattoos that reflect my passion for my craft and unwavering dedication to my clients.
