I create tattoos and paintings that carry weight—art that balances technical precision with story, symbolism, and personal transformation. My work draws from realism and Japanese traditions, blending craft with meaning. Whether I’m tattooing skin or painting canvas, I’m interested in how images shape memory, identity, and change. My goal is not just to decorate, but to create something lasting: a piece of art that feels deeply personal, timeless, and human

Shan Claydon is a versatile artist renowned for his expertise in both tattooing and oil painting. At The Fountainhead Tattoo in Edmonton, Alberta, Shan specializes in Japanese tattoos and black and grey realism, offering clients personalized designs that showcase his meticulous attention to detail.
Beyond his tattoo work, Shan is deeply passionate about oil painting, a medium through which he explores diverse themes and narratives.

Aspiring to transition his focus toward oil painting, Shan seeks the flexibility to create art wherever he can set up his easel. This shift reflects his desire for artistic freedom and the opportunity to engage with diverse environments and audiences. Through both his tattoos and paintings, Shan continues to make a significant impact in the art community, seamlessly blending technical skill with creative vision.
