Steven Shrader

With 14 years of professional experience, Steven—known in the studio as Goblin—brings a "World Class" dedication to the Miracle Mile team. While his roots are firmly planted in the bold, clean lines of Traditional and Neo-traditional styles, his work is an evolving "chronicle of his clients' journeys," heavily influenced by the dynamic energy of Anime and his childhood fascination with Dinosaurs.

Steven’s approach to the "Art of Life" is defined by longevity. His primary mission is twofold: ensuring every client walks out of the studio thrilled today, and remaining just as happy with their piece 15 to 20 years down the line. He views a tattoo not just as ink, but as a permanent investment in self-expression.

A self-taught artist who entered the craft through his sister’s encouragement, Steven draws massive inspiration from the fluid, high-energy animation style of Vincent Chansard. This blend of technical precision and imaginative flair makes him a go-to creator for clients seeking vibrant flowers, prehistoric icons, or custom anime masterpieces.

When he isn't collaborating with world-class talent at the Miracle Mile studio, Steven is a devoted family man and a seeker of eclectic experiences. You’ll find him hiking desert trails, painting, building Gunpla, or diving into deep-dive conspiracies. And while he may have a "Goblin" moniker, he harbors a surprising fascination with the grace of dolphins—proving there’s always more to the story than meets the eye.
