With over a decade in experience and a devoted clientele, Brandon Heffron is one of the Twin Cities’ premier tattoo artists. His award-winning work has been featured in multiple magazines, newspapers and other tattoo publications. In 2006 Brandon opened Beloved Studios, his custom tattoo shop located in Saint Paul, Minnesota.
    Brandon was always artistic growing up, but it wasn’t until he was in his early 20s that he developed an interest in tattooing. For the most part he is a self-taught artist, but he has also learned from others in his field. After three years of tattooing part-time, Brandon began working in a professional studio. Though he was pursuing a career full-time, his partying lifestyle was inhibiting his growth as an artist. After re-evaluating his life and priorities, he chose to redirect himself and he became more focused and dedicated as an artist in the process.
Brandon was ready to challenge himself even further as an artist and a professional by launching his own shop. Beloved Studios opened March of 2006, and Brandon has been working hard maintaining his shop and developing his artistic skills ever since. Brandon likes to focus on doing custom, one-of-a-kind pieces. Though Brandon is very versatile, he continues to focus on his realism infused style with his own creative flare. Large scale pieces are the majority of his work, but sometimes a smaller design sparks his creative interest.
    Brandon’s influences in tattooing are as versatile as his own style. His favorite artists include Guy Atchinson, Nick Baxter and Victor Portugal, just to name a few. Brandon looks forward to evolving further as an artist and pushing his skills to the next level. When he’s not tattooing, he likes to stay as active as possible, including playing hockey in a league, golfing and running. He prefers the comforts of his own studio and limits his time as a traveling artist to only a few trips a year. Brandon lives in Saint Paul with his lovely wife Karis and their bulldog, Baby Girls (both of whom are familiar faces to anyone who visits Beloved Studios).
