Mikey Bairhalter

A little about Mikey. He was born September 26, 1985 in Pittsburgh, PA and his love for art started at a very young age. He would look through comic books and other illustrations and draw them, sometimes tweaking them to make it his own. After high school Mikey kind of drifted away from art for awhile until he received his first tattoo at the age of 21. Getting that tattoo rekindled the old flame and he started drawing again. Mikey got an apprenticeship in West Virginia, and for the next couple years Mikey started to progress very quickly and completed his apprenticeship.

In 2018 SD Tattoo in San Diego, CA took notice of Mikey and asked if he would be interested in coming to do a guest spot which he said yes too. During his time there he was offered an opportunity to move to California and work at the shop full time which he accepted. He worked at SD Tattoo for a year until some unexpected health concerns caused him to move back to Pennsylvania. You can now find Mikey at Pittsburgh Tattoo Company in downtown Pittsburgh!
