Life Is About The journey-02.png

I have been an artist for as long as I can remember.  I began my professional graphic design career when I was 24 with a degree in Communication Graphics and a Minor in Illustration.  Having grown up in and around the military, I had always been fascinated with Tattoos. Throughout my life, there have been multiple times that I considered a move to tattooing but being a single mom did not lend itself to having much extra cash around to invest in new supplies. 

As they tend to do, my son grew up and fulfilled his own childhood dream by joining the military and becoming a Green Beret, and it did'nt take long for him to get his first tattoo, and from the moment the needle hit his skin, he was hooked.  I was really impressed with his tattoo artist, Max Ray, and we often talked about my own desire to get into tattooing.  After a couple of years of back and forth on the subject, my son finally called my bluff and bought me my first tattoo kit for Christmas.  And the rest, as they say, is history!   

  

Being the perfectionist that I am when it comes to my art, I started by playing with the tattoo machine to see if it was something I was interested in learning to master, which I was able to pick up pretty quickly.  I practiced every day for about 6 months and as I began to understand how my tattoo machine worked, I quickly discovered that being a traditional artist transitioning to tattooing was a hard learning curve to conquer.  I thought about an internship, but after some discussion with my family, decided that it didn't have much to offer me in terms of knowledge. I was already producing a level of quality that was well above a lot of tattoo artists in my area.

It was at this time that my son suggested opening my own shop and even offered to finance it, it was a very humbling experience.  To have him that confident in my abilities being as new as they were, it meant the world to me!  I told him I wanted to open a different type of shop than the ones I saw in our area, that I didn't want to open a street shop, because for me, it's not about the number of people walking through the door, it's about the quality of work that walks OUT OF IT!!

I'd like to thank you for supporting my dream and for accompanying me on this new and exciting phase of my artistic journey.  I look forward to you all becoming clients someday VERY soon!
