Washougal High School graduate Shonna Roberts opened a paramedical tattoo business in downtown Vancouver that provides natural-looking tattoos, including areola and nipple reconstruction. During the procedure, a three-dimensional tattoo is placed on the chest or breast area where an areola once existed. (Contributed photo courtesy of Shonna Roberts)

Washougal tattoo artist makes a difference

After graduating from Washougal High School, Shonna Roberts went to college, worked as a hazardous materials specialist and sales and marketing representative, married and had a child. On paper, at least, her life was good. But the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic caused her to re-think some things.

Earlier this year, representatives from dataPARC, a Vancouver-based technology company, reached out to Ed Fischer and asked him to help them find a new home for their growing business. They told Fischer, a commercial real estate agent and the former owner of Camas Bike and Sport, that they preferred to land in Camas or east Vancouver if possible.
