Ryan Ashley

Ryan Ashley is known for her intricate ornamental jewelry body art but before she was an Ink Master and legend in the tattoo world she studied fashion at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York City. She then worked in the fashion industry where she designed beadwork, lace details, embroidery, and appliqués for garments. 

Ryan has also created many paintings throughout her career including a collab with Dave Koenig. Her paintings often focus on surreal subjects with spiritual inspiration incorporated into her signature highly rendered metallic jewelry.

Ryan has been working on a 3' x 3' canvas during the convention weekend bid on the piece below!
