Custom Tattoo Artist

Always fascinated by art. Any of it, all of it. Museums, theatre, art galleries, I've always loved experiencing others artistic expressions. Tattoos became the most incredibly fascinating things to me, even from a very young age. The permanence was intriguing in the sense that “it's pretty much there forever”, and it really is. There was also the idea that instead of painting on a canvas, or using a hammer and chisel on a rock, you could put art on yourself. If your body is a temple, then let's decorate the walls! It's art that has to be experienced to be created, art that lives on people. It stays with them for the rest of their lives! Telling stories and marking significant points on the map of people's travels and adventures. Each of these people has their own unique world, & their own meaning and reasons behind the tattoos. Being able to interact with each of them and become a part of their worlds through the process is an awesome awesome feeling!
