Shelby Sochor

Hey there! I’m Shelby, a tattoo artist located in Columbus/Worthington, OH. I utilize a variety of styles in my work. I love working with color, and also enjoy dotwork and black/gray.

Some of my favorite subjects to tattoo include animals, cartoons/anime, video games, pop culture, and all things creepy and cute. Many of my designs are based in neo-traditional and illustrative styles, but I am taking on select realism projects as well. I also enjoy the challenge of cover ups and reworks, so feel free to send me any ideas you might have!

You can check out some of my work below, or on Instagram @shelbystattoos. If you’re interested in booking, you can fill out a booking form here.
