This year, brave adventurers can leave the realm with more than just memories...
The Ink Guild is a brand-new area in the Gaming Hall where talented tattoo artists will be creating incredible work all weekend long!

Meet Morgan! With four years of tattooing and creating stunning masterpieces, Morgan is always excited to create new ideas and bring them to life!
Morgan’s tattoo journey is a colorful adventure! She has a wide range of interests but specifically loves working on bright, anime pieces. If you love bold and vibrant styles, Morgan will create a custom piece for you. She is also well-versed in fine-line, black and grey and neotrad.

When not busy tattooing, Morgan can be found exploring Tornado Valley, geeking out over the latest anime, or sipping coffee while sketching the next big idea.
