Shawna, her husband, and her dad were great! For being one of 10 getting tattoos in one day along with 5 babies all under 11 months in the room, you can’t ask for a better person to go to in Ruidoso! We called multiple artists to try and get us in on our friends trip and she was hands down the most accepting, kind one to take our whole group in! Definitely recommend and will be going back!She even gave the babies their first tattoos 🙃 *they are stick on* ❤️

I was a part of a group of 12 people who came in for tattoos and we had some special accommodations she (Shawna)was very patient about. Everyone had their very special custom tattoos she drew up for us. She was light handed, considerate, kind, and had the patience of a monk! Also her dad and husband stopped by to help her out, they were also pretty cool.

My husband and I were in town for Christmas and we stopped by to get a tattoo. Shawna was amazing! She has a true gift with people and she is really easy to talk to and very patient. It was my husband’s first tattoo and she customized it the way he wanted. It really felt like talking to an old friend I have not seen in awhile. She is a talented artist as well. Would highly recommend.

Dope shop with great vibes and an amazing artist. We came from Cruces to get some work from Shawna and she killed it. Everything I've been looking for; comfortable shop and amazing work. Great convos and overall good energy. Will definitely make this trip again for some more amazing art from Shawna. If you're in the area and willing to make the trip, you won't be disappointed. Thank you so much!!

Shawna is an amazing artist! So thankful to have found her right in the heart of PT. She's a great listener so you get what you want but also so creative to enhance your idea and with a soft touch and reasonable prices. Spotted Dog is the best!!

I love coming here. Shawna is great at making you feel comfortable and I love seeing my tattoos posted up on the wall every time I come back. She's fun to work with and is all about getting your idea on paper and to your skin. They sell stickers, pins, temporary tattoos, handmade plugs and some other really cool things here too.

Tattoo artist SHAWNA TALAMANTE put me immediately at ease with her warm welcome and her professional manner. Exceptional care was given to cleaning protocols— especially during this time of Covid. I felt well protected. Shawna‘s expertise combined with creative talent made for a very successful outcome. I am thrilled with my tattoo. Thank you, Shawna!Service: Tattoos

Shawna is by far the best artist I have ever worked with. Her and I have worked together multiple times, and she will be the only artist I will work with for now on. The mermaid she has done on my leg was on the cover of Ink Therapy MagazineService: Tattoos
