Ryan Tieszen’s artistic background is influenced by childhood inspirations. He would draw the world around him. Growing up, the suburbs of South Dakota didn’t meet is expectation of artistic expression. He spent his youth looking for creative outlets while attempting to conform to mediocrity of the Midwest. As a young man, he found an outlet in the culinary arts. Feeling his artistic endeavors were undernourished, he traveled to the east coast. Deciding that South Dakota is a better place to raise a family, he moved home. Ryan attended further education and began focusing on becoming an artist. While selling his art, Ryan Tieszen came across the opportunity for a tattoo apprenticeship in 2011. He has been tattooing ever since.
Although Sioux Falls is home, he loves to travel both nationally and internationally for tattooing. Traveling is very important to Ryan Tieszen. “Art can be more than appreciated, it can be experienced.” He came to Red Arbor to further his opportunities and continue his growth as an artist.
Ryan believes that an artist shouldn’t be limited to one style. His resolve to master different styles and techniques has influenced his artistic growth. He is dedicated to providing the best artistic experience possible. Ryan Tieszen strives to create artistic work that is creative, dynamic, but still refined. When asked about what inspires him, he states that “Inspiration can come from many sources, but I enjoy working with cultural influences from video games, comics, and movies the most.”
