Owner of Lone Star Tattoo, Scott Cooksey, began tattooing in 1995. In the early days, Scott tattooed at shops in Dallas’ Deep Ellum downtown nightlife districts. Early on, Scott became passionate and knowledgeable in the American Traditional and irezumi- traditional Japanese motifs. Intensely studying the tattoo masters like Horiyoshi III, Hokusai (Japanese painter 1760-1849), Sailor Jerry Collins, Bert Grimm and Don Ed Hardy, and being influenced by the likes of Austin tattooers Dave Lum and Chris Trevino. Scott fine tuned his craft of tattooing into what some call “Texas Style” tattooing. Before opening Lone Star Tattoo in 2005, Scott spent part of each year on the road traveling to other tattoo shops around the country as a guest artist and attending tattoo conventions. 

It seemed like destiny for Hannah Edwards to pick up the tattoo machine, growing up around bikers and tattooing. She always felt a pull towards the buzz of the needle against skin, and when she got her first tattoo at 18, she knew there was no looking back. Hannah’s style is heavily influenced by Sailor Jerry and Ed Hardy, specializing in Rat Fink tattoos and American Traditional. When she isn’t tattooing, however, she enjoys spending her time browsing vintage clothing, accessory and decoration shops, as well as checking out the local record stores. You can also catch her at local music venues and hole-in-the-wall restaurants trying new foods. When she is home, she’s hanging out with her dog, Roscoe.
