Hey friends! 👋🏼
I wanted to hop on here and officially introduce myself and my new page!
My name is Tyler, but you’ll know me here as Ivory T. 🐘
The name Ivory T comes from my love of elephants. When I was 5 years old, my grandmother gave me my first elephant figurine after my grandfather passed away. That little elephant has always held a special place in my heart, and over the years, elephants have continued to represent something meaningful to me.
The word ivory also carries a few meanings that I really connect with—rare, lasting, valuable, and something difficult to obtain. Those are qualities I hope to bring into my art: creating pieces that are unique, meaningful, and built to last.
Creativity is also something that runs deep in my family. I come from a family full of artists, florists, and creative people, so my love for art and creating things has always felt like it was in my blood. 🎨
A little more about me—I have a beautiful wife, Kenna, and our dog, Broc, who you’ll probably see making appearances on this page from time to time. 😂🐕
I’m incredibly excited to begin this journey toward becoming a tattoo artist. There’s a lot to learn, a lot to create, and hopefully a lot of amazing people to meet along the way.
I wanted to also thank Dash's House of Ink for opening up their shop for me to grow as an artist!
Follow along with me as I learn, create, and chase this dream! 🖤
