Artists

Ian Christopher

Ian, known by his followers as Saint Ian Christopher, is the shop creator and mastermind behind the Rook x Raven brand. Ian was born in Michigan but found his way to Memphis during his early childhood. He began tattooing in 2005 as an apprentice at a local shop, quickly discovering his passion for tattooing. Ian would go on to open his first tattoo shop, Skull x Roses, followed by his current shop, The Rook x Raven. He considers his tattooing style to be real/surrealism and enjoys doing color portraits whenever he has the chance. He plans to grow the Rook x Raven brand while expanding his tattooing domain to other countries around the world!

Jesse (Dreadzilla)

@rxr.dreadzilla

Jesse, more commonly known around the shop as Dreadzilla, was born and raised in Memphis, TN. She joined the team through an apprenticeship with Ian and has grown tremendously as an artist over the past 2 years. She has a flexible tattoo style, and while she can accommodate almost any tattoo you can conjure up, her favorite tattoos are sacred geometry and script. She gathers inspiration from Rob Zombie and Toph Beifong; and if you ever catch yourself wondering about that one line in “The Labyrinth”, just ask Jesse…she has got the whole movie memorized!

Kat Pullen

@batbonez

Kat is a Memphis, TN native who began her tattooing career at Rook x Raven. She joined the team as Shop Manager, however under the mentorship of Ian and others, she quickly scaled the ranks to full-time artist. Without putting herself too much in a box, Kat considers her style to lean towards the neotraditional spectrum. Her favorite tattoos are anything spooky, along with fruits & veggies! In her free time, Kat enjoys playing guitar, making Halloween props and painting. She hopes to one day supplement her tattooing with ghost hunting, joining a band and running an oddity shop; all from the comfort of her Victorian mansion.

Tay

@taypiercings.rxr

Tay, the shop piercer, is a Memphis native who found herself interested in piercings and the creativity behind them. After mentioning her interest to Ian, he brought her on as a piercing apprentice and it has been a perfect fit ever since. She can now handle any piercing requests; however, her favorites are nasal & conch piercings. She is constantly expanding her range of practice by following other piercers for inspiration and new tricks to piercing. Tay works double duty, as she is also our head chef for the Rook x Raven Coffee x Kitchen café. Learning in the kitchen at an early age, Tay has brought the skills taught by her mother and added her own flare, creating dishes that will have your taste buds tingling for the next bite!
