The Wildlife Tattoo Artist, Ace Connell, Turned His Passion Into Profit

Ace Connell is a man with a family of four who loves nature and tattoos. To him, any form of art is beautiful and worth nurturing. He is the co-owner of the Tattoo Studio “Regenerates.” Ace, along with Chris Sally, opened the tattoo studio. It looks more like a recording studio than a tattoo studio. The studio is full of instruments on every wall, mics, an upright piano, and guitar amps. Chris and Ace have made Regenerates a place of their own making.

If there is any vacant space in the studio, Ace and Chris fill it up with their artwork or go and fill it up with antiques. As one walks into “Regenerates,” they are met by a vast circus poster original print from the ’60s. The poster suits the ambiance of the studio because it has a light-hearted feel to it.

When asked where Ace Connell drew his inspiration from, he said that it was Mother Nature. There is no greater artist than her. That’s why Ace has been so inclined towards wildlife tattoos. His art training and mentoring was with Samantha Youssef. She is an ex-Disney animator. They both believed that tattoo was a way to capture the flow of nature or imitate it.

Ace Connell has a family of four, and he has to fund all of them. But he is happy that he gets to follow his passion every day and turn it into a profit. His partner’s dream was to raise a big family. So, it is only Ace who brings in the money to the family. But he couldn’t change it for the world. COVID-19 may have forced Ace and Sally to close the shop for 4 months, but it was time well spent with family.
