TEHYA MAXWELL

Hello! My name is Tehya Maxwell, I'm a resident artist at Thousand Oaks Tattoos and Cosmetics. My passion for drawing started at the ripe age of three, and similar to my mentor Chris Powell, I've garnered experience with Graphic Design through our local career center located here in Springfield, OH. I began my apprenticeship because I was seeking out a tattoo artist that would be a great fit for my first tattoo, a tattoo very close to my heart. While searching, I located Chris and knew that he would be able to make it something to really memorialize my father. After obtaining the piece, I showed him some of my work and the rest is history! Throughout my apprenticeship I was able to sit in on many of Chris's sessions and learn the ins and outs of the tattoo process. I've not only studied the technical aspect of the trade, but also the personal side, such as building strong relationships with clients and my fellow members in the industry. I love connecting with new people and building lasting relationships. I'm excited to keep growing here at my Thousand Oaks home. I'm dedicated to becoming the best artist that I can be for myself, and my clients and I hope you stay around to watch me on my journey.
