Leila Willis Newton – Ghostdog Tattoo

I was raised in Austin Texas and grew up in tattoo shops. I started working at the legendary Southside Tattoo from fifteen on. After completing an apprenticeship at Southside, I began tattooing there full time. In 2017 I moved to Masset, Haida Gwaii and opened a space.
I now own a private shop on Haida Gwaii, and really enjoy traveling to other cities and shops to tattoo. I currently do regular guest spots at Sacred Heart Tattoo in Vancouver and Southside Tattoo in Austin, and would love to make trips to guest at new shops and meet new folks. I work mostly by appointment, but am always down for walk-ins.
I enjoy working in a mix of styles thanks to learning under many mentors in the Austin area, but I could tattoo flowers, reapers, and other plant life all-day, every-day.
After working mostly alone for 6 years, I have really realized how important it is to have other tattooers around to learn from and bounce ideas off of– and to just shoot the shit. I hope to find some cool shops with kind folks to work with!

Experience Wish

Looking for some cool shops to guest at, really just missing hearing other machines running! I would like to check out some other shops in CA and the US for now, but would be into guesting over seas in the future. I love to watch other folks work, would like to be able to pick some brains, and always appreciate constructive feedback. I have never worked a convention, but am hoping to branch into that world as well.
