Roach Michael

Roach is a self-taught artist and proud St. Louis local who brings bold color, nostalgic flair, and a whole lot of heart to every tattoo. They officially joined the tattoo world in May 2025 after completing their apprenticeship, but they’ve been a creative force in the local art scene for years.

Their work is rooted in a love for vintage ephemera: think 70s psychedelic illustrations, scratch-and-sniff stickers, weird old ads, and the loud, lovable world of 90s/00s cartoons. Bold lines, punchy palettes, and playful energy are their signature.

Bubbly, chatty, and endlessly welcoming, Roach is the kind of person who can turn a tattoo appointment into a new friendship. They help make Dream House feel inclusive, safe, and full of personality, just like their art.

When they’re not tattooing, you’ll find them thrifting for funky toys, sketching their next “little guy,” or vibing at home with their cat and beloved Beanie Baby collection.

Come get some tea and a tattoo, Roach has plenty of both!
