Ian Simon was a high functioning robot from the crab nebula, when he crash landed in the great Michigan wilderness………wait , wrong story of Ian. After 3 years of art school, he dropped out and started his first apprenticeship for tattooing and piercing in 2004. He worked for a bunch of different shops, looking for the right fit, finally opening his own studio in Youngstown Ohio in 2009, Bitter Hearts Tattoo quickly gained a reputation for being a fun and professional atmosphere and spawned the eventual tourcareer Ian started in 2014. He had done conventions as an apprentice, but now under his own banner he finally could compete. In his first year out he won twelve awards. He traveled between the east coast and chicago and did quite a few guest spots as well. All the while gaining acclaim at home for his realism and cover-up skills. Finally in the beginning of 2015 he was added to the roster of the Ink Fusion Empire and now plans to expand his reach and range even more. Currently he is working on a self-produced graphic novel named “Soul”, doing commission painting and pencil renderings, logo and design work, band albums and promotions, as well as continuing to built a series of prints of his own artwork.

Marc Draven

my headshot
My name is Marc Draven. I am a professional tattoo artist in the Tampa, Florida area. Tattooing is my passion and I have been doing it for over 20 years. Throughout my career, I have been lucky enough to break into the entertainment world and work with countless TV, movie, comic and entertainment talent. Over ten years ago, I took my experience and success in both industries and merged them to create Ink-Fusion “When the Worlds of Tattooing and Pop Culture Collide”. We have traveled both domestically and internationally to host shows for various conventions. We give fans the chance to see professional tattooing live, as well as the opportunity to get a tattoo themselves. I’ve been fortunate enough to break down barriers and be the first tattoo artist in history to be licensed by Lucasfilm LTD, and endorsed by Comic book legend, Stan Lee.
