FROM CORRECTIONS TO THE CARDINAL, MEET KERON MCHUGH

Keron McHugh may have seemed like just another black-market bad boy when the Feds arrested him in 2010, but they never could have guessed that incarceration would actually be the change that Keron needed to find in himself.  In his seven years behind the wall, Keron not only read over 1,000 books (to self-educate) but was encouraged by his cell-mates to pursue the art of tattooing with only the rawest of materials available, due to his incredible ability to not just draw, but create breathtaking artwork. That trajectory gave Keron the grit he needed to sketch out his future as he served out his time, and followed Keron through his release from prison in 2017 and into what is now, an extremely successful skin art business in Mebane, North Carolina, The Cardinal Skin Art and Gallery.
