Born and raised in Alton, Illinois, Christopher Tyler Goodrich began tattooing professionally in November 2019. He has always had a passion for creating with his hands, whether through drawing, painting, building model kits, or putting together a LEGO set. That hands-on creativity naturally led him to tattooing.

Christopher was drawn to tattooing from the moment he got his first tattoo at 18, but it was his experience in a street shop that truly solidified his passion for the craft. The smell of the shop, flash covering the walls, and the energy buzzing throughout the space made him realize that this was a world he wanted to be part of for years to come.

His preferred style is illustrative traditional, and he especially enjoys tattooing bugs, animals, and anything weird, wacky, or outside the box. While he enjoys a wide variety of subject matter, he particularly loves projects that allow him to get creative and have some fun with the design.

Outside of the shop, Christopher is a self-proclaimed computer and tabletop gaming nerd. When he’s not working, there’s a good chance he’s at a concert, grabbing Mexican food, or cheering on the St. Louis Blues, “from the womb to the tomb,” as long as they stay in the city.
