The minds behind the beauty

Tasha Grey

Tasha Grey is the co-founder and artistic visionary of Southern Gothic. Professionally, Tasha is a licensed tattoo artist with 11 years of experience in the field. As a lifelong goth, Tasha has been surrounded by and enthralled with art and all things beautifully strange since she could walk.

Tasha has devoted her life to the arts, creating multitudes of physical art pieces over the years. Southern Gothic is her most recent creation.

Tesla Dawn

Tesla is a co-founder and studio manager of Southern Gothic. This beautiful dark collective was co-founded alongside tattoo artist Tasha Grey. While not a tattoo artist herself, she partnered with Tasha to build Southern Gothic out of deep respect for the craft and the people who practice it.


Tess oversees business operations and brand development, while Tasha leads the artistic vision. Together, they are creating a space rooted in intention, dark beauty, and meaningful artistry.


Sab Stremler

Sab has been a part of the crew for a very long time. Her contributions include but are never limited to: chaotic optimism, inside joke recal, immaculate designs, flawless artistic execution.

The list continues on and on. Sab has been training under Tasha Grey's care to learn the sacred art of tattooing and has joined our dark essential collective.
