Erin Dillenbeck

OWNER - TATTOO ARTIST

Hey, I'm Dynamite! I am  the  owner  and  an  artist  at  The  Branded  Barby.  I  have an Associates in Art Education,  a Bachelors in Graphic Design and I have been tattooing since 2008!

I am an award winning artist and have tattooed at the Motor City Tattoo Convention in 2019,  the Michigan Tattoo Convention  in 2023  And  the  Toledo Tattoo  Convention  in  2023.

My favorite style of tattooing would have to be black and grey and realism. There is nothing cooler than looking at a black and grey  piece and seeing the depth and dimension created just using shades of black and grey and adding highlights.

Hailey  loves  doing  New  School,  Neo  Traditional,  as  well  as  anything  cartoony  and  colorful.  However  this  does  not  mean  she  is  limited  to  these  styles  alone!
