I started tattooing when I was twelve and have been building on that for the last 19yrs.  I tattoo, pierce, airbrush, paint, build tattoo machines and junk. I am your adverage work-a-holic tattoo shop owner.  I first started tattooing in a shop called T and D fine line way back when (1995-1997)  .. then I went to work with a buddy of mine Shawn at his place Astro Tats (1997-2001)  I started my own shop because I wasnt happy where I was, I had no say so the way the buisness was run, and no one wanted to make it better, nice or more professional enviroment.  So I got my own thing started with another shop with a partner.  The partner worked bout 6 months... Now I just try to pay the bills and live a little.  This is enough junk for me and the shop for now.  I have a tattoo to do and plenty of things after that... JackSprat
