Portrait and memorial tattoos in Fargo, ND.

Portrait and memorial tattoos are a primary focus for Shawn Lowe. Strong references, honest talk about likeness, and placement that keeps faces and names readable over time matter more than rushing a session.

Portrait and memorial tattoos with attention to likeness, lettering, and emotional weight.

Artists

Shawn Lowe — Owner of Fargo Tattoo. Known for black and grey work, portraits, memorials, cover-ups, lettering, and custom design planned for long-term readability.

Longevity

Placement, size, and contrast matter more than a trend. Fine line on high-wear areas and cover-ups over dark ink both need honest limits.

What to send

Idea, placement, size, black-and-grey or color, and references. Cover-ups need a current photo of the existing tattoo.
