SYD HEMPHILL

Syd has been a creative person all of his life. Once he got into high school he struggled a lot with society’s acceptance of being queer, with that as opening up a new way of expressing his art and to take on being creative to a new extent. Syd started to learn the curves of tattooing while still in high school and knew then, that an artistic career would form. He built up the credits and graduated early to get a head start on his tattooing career starting in 2023. Leading up to today, Syd prides himself in his versatility specializing in black and grey, anime/cartoon, fine line and traditional work. Being a part of the trans community, he very much advocates a safe environment for inclusion, especially for anyone needing a safe space. Syd’s biggest motivation is hearing each and everyone’s stories and being able to make a huge vision come to life but also being able to help heal people going through hard times or celebrations. He is a very persistent and passionate artist who is always open to growing and tackling any challenges he is given.
