aboutcole
Cole M Parker is a self taught artist and has been an artist since he can remember. He was always drawing in class and getting in trouble becasue of it. He knew at a young age he wanted to do something along the lines of art.
Growing up in a small town he never really understood tattoos could be done so well, until he saw the work done on his older cousin. This inspired him to become a tattoo artist and he later mentored under that very artist.
He mainly likes working with charcoals and graphites but also enjoys working with all sorts of different mediums of art. His favorite things to draw and tattoo are realism, dark arts, and fantsay illustrarive styles. Cole would like to focus on becoming a black and grey specialist by using heavy blacks and lighter tones to create very dramatic illusions in his work.

Ian James is a Tattoo Artist Apprentice at Stuck Tattoo, starting his apprenticeship in summer of ‘22. Growing up, Ian had moved several states, but always keeping art close as a passion.
Drawing since he could pick up a crayon, Ian has always enjoyed creating art of all forms and styles. Eventually settling in Michigan, he had found an apprenticeship at Stuck. In order to commit to his tattooing career, he had finished high school online whilst working at his past job and on his apprenticeship at the same time. Since then, Ian settled down to Ohio and started tattooing clients nearing the end of ‘23. Along with art, Ian has always been big into cars, currently working as an Auto Tech whilst continuing his apprenticeship.
Ian has found to be very interested in Illustrative, dark tattoos, cartoon tattoos, and black & grey tattoos, along with always putting his own touch on the art. Ian loves to bend art in a different direction, always looking for more effects, details, and ways to make all his art unique in a gnarly way.
