Shannon Baker

My tattoos are meaningful. Baker is my last name, the native designs for my late dad, Sarai is my daughter, the rest are kinda cultural.

What inspired your most recent tattoo?

My dad. He passed away in 2018. We got this drawing made for his memorial t-shirt. Bought it off the artist so it’s our design. So I decided to get it as a tattoo to honour my dad. I actually passed out while getting it, the artist caught me before I hit the table. I still haven’t gotten it finished yet but can’t wait to get it done. Not sure if I wanna add color to it or not. He was a Dallas fan so we added Cowboy blue to the original design.

If your ink could speak, what would it say?

That I’m a loud and proud Native American woman! ✊🏾πŸͺΆ All about family. Meaningful tattoos. My BAKER tattoo is πŸ”₯ I love it. A lot of us Bakers have our last name tatted it seems. I have so many ideas for more tats; for my family (daughter, nieces, sister, mom, husband), more tradish tats, DISNEY tats too! I want my tats to be meaningful, to me, they’re for me. I believe tattoos are for us and our own experiences, and for people to view them and accept them or not. To each their own 🀷🏾

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would get all my tattoo ideas done. I would buy myself a decent used car, and my daughter. I would book a lil trip somewhere. And definitely try to save a chunk of it! And pay whatever needs to be paid for my daughter and hubby and my family and I. πŸ’™
