Hey, I'm Noelin Wheeler!

September 11-17

Consultations

Our guest from Ink Master Season 9 (Shop Wars) alum, Noelin creates painterly realism with bold color and narrative weight - tattoos that read like living stories.

He works from carefully chosen studios while traveling between Austin, Las Vegas, Yelm, and Missoula, offering a personalized, semi-private tattoo experience shaped by fit, flow, and longevity while bringing a research-driven, detail-obsessed approach to every piece.

Curated booking: full-day sessions in all four cities, schedule released 60–90 days out, and a brief artistic consultation to confirm project fit.

Custom design development: clients share a strong concept, then he leads with creative freedom, deep research, and precise body flow—no rushing, no shortcuts.

Clear expectations & care: firm, non-refundable deposit policy with defined reschedule windows; straightforward prep; and aftercare using either ointment care or a 7-day barrier film when appropriate.

Hey, I'm Noah Van Pelt!

Consultations

Noah’s work leans bold and character-driven, with a strong command of neo-traditional structure and crisp lettering. He’s drawn to darker, “scary” themes, yet happily builds bright, playful pieces when the concept deserves it—a balance that keeps the tattoo experience focused and genuinely fun.

Begins with an artistic consultation through our online form, with virtual options available for out-of-town clients.

Project fit: prioritizes scary imagery, lettering, and neo-traditional; open to bright colors and cute ideas; typically declines portraits and strict geometric work.

Curated availability: based in Great Falls and in Missoula 1–2 weekends per month; manages a waitlist and texts openings first-come, first-served; prefers later-day starts.
