Dawn

Paradise Tattoo was founded by Becky Neaves (previously of Custom Bike & Body Art In North Fort Myers) in 2011. Following Becky’s retirement, the shop was taken over by current owner and operator, Dawn Webb.

Dawn apprenticed in tattoo artistry under Becky and her husband until 2007, and has dedicated her career to keeping the original spirit and vibe alive since 2012.

Dawn is proud to be a “born and raised” Southwest Florida native. She is most passionate about consulting with clients and co-designing custom tattoos.

She remains dedicated to the arts by working with various medias in addition to tattoos. Her original acrylic paintings and prints can be viewed and purchased in the shop lobby.
