Love it, be good at it, and then the money will follow. If you
love what you do, then it’ll never be work. Personally I’d go
to an artist owned shop.
Where do you get your inspiration from?
I get my inspirations from everything around me: writing
poems, playing music and being with nature...
What are your clientele like? Any great stories you
want to share?
We have a pretty diverse group of clientele. I’ll do anything
that comes to my door: custom, traditional, modern,
portrait, Asian - Japanese, cover–ups, etc. Art is art…
whatever form it comes in…
A lot of interesting stories! Too many to mention, but the
weird and exciting custom tattoos I’ve done usually have
the most interesting stories behind them. I just love doin’
meaningful art on someone, they love it ‘cause it looks good
on them and they really treasure it deep in their hearts.
So, what’s next for you?
Future plans: We’ve got some guest artists coming in;
piercing is goin’ onboard right now. We might get a local
artist to help me on overload work and walk-ins. We’re
trying to do more conventions.
LIVE AND LEARN, PUSH THE ARTS, PLAY MUSIC, CLIMB MOUNTAINS, MEET NEW PEOPLE,
SEE THE WORLD. PEACE OUT…
