The
tattoo
artist
community
has
lost
one
of
their
own.
Ryan
Hadley,
who
competed
on
season
six
of
the
Spike
reality show Ink
Master
in
2015,
died
June
20
after battling
cancer.
He
was
46.
“Ryan
left
this
world
last
night
surrounded
by
loved
ones,”
read
a
message
posted
on
his
Instagram
June
21. “While
his
life
was
cut
short,
in
that
time
he
left
a
legacy
behind
in
both
the
art
and
tattoo
world.
He
loved
his
many
fans,
his
friends
and
clients,
and
most
of
all
his
children.
He’ll
be
missed
and
always
remembered.
A
legend
forever.
#rip
#f–kcancer.”
The
Fort
Wayne,
Ind. native,
a
father of
six, revealed
last
December
on
a
GoFundMe
page
set
up
by
his
adult
daughter Whitney
that
he
was
undergoing
chemotherapy
for
a
seminoma,
a
malignant
germ
cell
tumor.
It
was
not
his
first
time
undergoing
cancer
treatment.
“I
am
now
hospitalized
to
doing
the
chemotherapy
way
earlier
than
I
anticipated,”
he
wrote
on
Instagram. “The
last
time
I
went
through
with
this
it
nearly
killed
me
and
scared
the
hell
outta
me.”
