Casey Ritacco
Artist
Casey is a self taught visual artist who has been drawing and painting since she was a child. She’s been a working artist since high school and has done mural work around the county. It has been her dream to tattoo since she was a young girl and was drawing tattoos on her Barbie’s arms and legs. She completed her apprenticeship in September 2024, and is open and willing to tattoo anything from fine line to traditional, in color or black and grey so she can get a feel for all types of tattoos and techniques. Aside from tattooing, Casey also paints with oils and acrylics from small canvases to large walls, draws with graphite and charcoal, sculpts with all types of clay, and creates art digitally as well.

Rich Janusz
Apprentice
Art has always been a part of Rich’s life. Since he was a kid and able to hold a pencil he was drawing and copying his favorite characters off of cereal boxes. Fast forward many years later and it has become a career and passionate endeavor of his. He works in many different mediums, but tattooing, in his opinion, is the holy grail of all art mediums.
Rich does hand painted signs, pinstriping, glass gilding, logo design, murals, etc and is currently an apprentice at Radiant Energy Tattoo. He joined the APT (the Alliance of Professional Tattooists) to be part of a larger community and to have a voice in this ever-changing community. Rich states, “If you’re truly passionate about tattooing, I think it’s important to be aware of all aspects of the craft and be aware of the changes that may be put in place. I’m so excited to be a part of this craft and community and look forward to the future of tattooing.”
