Lane’s  true love for art started at a very young age and continued into his college career. Where he took classes from basic drawing classes to advanced placement painting classes at Collin College.  His interests in all forms of artistic mediums and styles including everything from Conte’ figure drawings painting in acrylics and oil has fueled the desire to push his artistic abilities and ambitions past the limit. At this time in his life he met Casey Leal from Hold Fast Tattoo and started his two year apprenticeship at Lucky Monkey Tattoo and Body Piercing until  later finishing his apprenticeship at Nine Eyes Tattoo Studio at the end of 2007.

Lane now enjoys tattooing in a wide rage of custom tattoos in styles like organics, which is a style with a lot of textures and depths in colors, or even in a traditional/neo-traditional style to realistic, or even to a more cartoonish style of art depending on the tastes of the wearer. Lane is not against tattooing others’ artwork as well. He truly takes on the clients best interests by educating them on the ins and outs of what goes into a tattoo, in which, he will explain how size, placement on the body, complexity and meaning are all important aspects for a quality tattoo.

Thomas has been tattooing for about 3 years and continues to push himself to new levels. His style of tattooing is very versitile, and includes most genres: Freehand, Color, Black and Grey, Tribal, Traditional, New School, Realism, Color Realism and Japanese.
Thomas’ love for art began as a small child, with his artist grandmother as an early influence on his life. From there he moved to Austin,TX where he continued his art education in high school and later at the University of Texas at Austin.
Thomas started on the Tattoo circuit in 2006, Under the guidance of Woody Costley of Funhouse Tattoo in Dallas.

Ryan started piercing in 1999 in Salt Lake City Utah, after his apprenticeship and after a brief stay at his shop he moved to Las Vegas to work on the strip. He stayed there for several years and while in vegas he hooked up with Ozzfest and toured the summers with them as thier piercer. After Ryan tired of LV he moved back to Salt lake for several years before moving and working in several other states including AZ and CA. Most recently he has come to call Texas his home.

Ryan is a master body piercer and can do any body piercing you might desire. He is a master of surface piercings and dermal anchoring. He is also freehand piercer, what this means to you is that he doesnt use clamps, the most painful part in some peoples opinion. He is also a branding and scarification artist and performs both strike and thermal cautery branding along with scalpel scarification.

We here at Eastside tattoo are pleased to have Ryan as our head piercer so please come in anytime to see him.
