Hello! My name is LaNan DeSha (Lah-Nan Deh-Shay) but I go by Shay for short! I’m based out of Biloxi, Mississippi and have been since 2016. I’ve lived in Texas, Louisiana, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee and my favorite state South Dakota! I’ve been tattooing since 2019.

So many artists are either die hard for color or only do greyscale but my tattoo style is kind of a jack of all trades in that I’ve never been able to pick one or the other. I love grey scale pieces with different line weights and soft pepper shading. And I also love working with color in a more illustrative, painterly style. And I love creating fineline pieces! Collaborating with my clients to create one of a kind tattoos is a special part of my job that I cherish. 💗

I’m a 90s baby! So I watched Sailor Moon as a little girl and I was and still am obsessed with collected Pokémon. When I got a little older I’d come home from school and watch Toonami for hours. I would stay up late to watch Inuyasha on Adult Swim in my teens. I also grew up reading Harry Potter as it came out and watched Lord of the Rings in the movie theaters. I am now deeply immersed in the Sarah J Mass universe like ACOTAR and TOG. I’m so excited to be a part of Pop Cult Con and to meet so many new people!
