2.4 Shawn: Van Building and Tattooing his way to a Tiny-Life

Shawn changed the rules of his life when he decided to build out a camper van into a home in 28 days after a change in a relationship gave the push he needed to finally jump into a long-time interest of tiny living. Shawn is handworker and joined the team at Midwest Vanbuilders taking on a role in full van builds and small projects alongside the shop’s owner. On the side he is also a self-taught tattoo artist taking his craft on the road whenever he gets the chance to travel between builds. You can see his art and style on Instagram @shawn_tattoos.
