Twistid Ink is a collaborative effort between husband and wife duo Danny Belden and Elisha Belden. Sharing a love for the tattoo and arts culture they decided to put their skill sets to work creating an environment that fosters a community for tattoo lovers and celebrates the world of visual and performance arts. Breaking away from the industry’s stereotypes they encourage a new appreciation for the arts in their own unique way.

Danny Belden has been tattooing for over a decade, but his love for the culture started long before he ever picked up a machine. It’s clear that Danny loves the work he does, which is evident in every piece he puts out. Eager to excel in every style of tattooing, Danny offers his clientele a varied portfolio of high-quality, one-of-a-kind artwork. Recently, Danny has been gaining recognition internationally as a cover-up specialist and is currently a member of both the Saniderm Pro-team and Axys Rotary Pro-team. Danny is an award-winning artist for his watercolor, black and grey, and neo-traditional works.

While Elisha Belden is not a tattooer, she is an internationally recognized tattoo competition judge. Her essays on tattoo history have been published by tattoo media giant Tattoo.com, and she was featured in a documentary on Captain James Cook and his contribution to the tattoo culture in 2017. She currently works with Saniderm Medical, a tattoo aftercare company, as the Director of Marketing and manages the Saniderm Artist Proteam, which is comprised of over 100 of the world’s top artists.

Not only is Twistid Ink an award-winning custom tattoo studio, but it is an advocate for the arts, working with (but not limited to) the local schools’ drama and performing arts departments, individual art students, and local arts festivals – including the Walk of Arts, which the studio hosts itself. The studio has been recognized for incredible local theater set designs and costume builds, mentoring local young artists, and coaching performance artists in music and acting. The studio has been featured in local and regional news for its tattoo charity work, including covering sex trafficking brands and mastectomy scars.

Twistid Ink is a private studio setting with a welcoming, inclusive environment. With on-staff aftercare specialists, on-site photographers and content creators, an in-house marketing director, and incredibly talented tattoo artists and apprentices - the studio is challenging the status quo.
