Nine years ago, Todd Lowell was out on the slopes snowboarding. There, he met a guy, and the two started bonding over something they both loved: tattoos.
Lowell fell in love with tattooing and the idea of becoming a tattoo artist, so he decided to open a shop in a space he already had.
That shop, opening in 2009, is Northern Liberty Tattoo.
Lowell apprenticed under many artists that have come and gone through the shop, and has been a full tattoo artist for the past three years. But his main focus is owning the shop and managing it.
