Classic VW Lover crafting bold American traditional tattoos

Travis Gardner

An Orange County transplant by way of Coarsegold, California Travis Gardner started at Gold Rush in 2014 as a shop helper. His work ethic, team attitude and hands-on skillset quickly catapulted Mr. Gardner’s approach and roadmap to learn the craftsmanship of tattooing. During this time he persevered through the tutelage and influence of Colin Dowling, Joel Bones and many Tattoo Artists from the shop. Mr. Gardner is a fond advocate for American Traditional designs, western culture and floral imagery. A family man, classic VW enthusiast and off-road fanatic.
