The pair combined efforts to open Howdy Y'all Tattoo downtown on Main Street in late 2023. Since then, the team expanded so much that they needed more room.

What they offer
Swaney and Guzman, along with six artists, offer a variety of tattoo styles—from surrealism to realism, mandala to traditional, and more.
"Between all of us, we can do anything anyone is looking for," Swaney said. "There's nothing we aren't capable of doing."
Howdy Y'all Tattoo accepts walk-ins seven days a week; however, prospective clients are encouraged to book ahead of time. (Amanda Cutshall/Community Impact)
