WELCOME to my Blog Page


I wasn't particularly interested in writing one but it was suggested by someone who's argument for one included the opportunity to address many tattoo issues as well as informing and educating the General Public about tattoos and art.  
  To me most blogs are like Seinfeld episodes, you lose a half an hour of your life and it's much ado about nothing. Of course after listening to her argument, though it took a considersble amount of time for her words to penetrate my thick skull, I had to admit that I could be wrong about this... not only would I have a platform to share some of my knowledge from, but a soap box that I could voice my opinions, comment on current events and vent my frustrations and rage. It's like having my own complaint department where I can bitch about everything and no one is going to listen anyway.

I am back to square one having only lost one calender year and on the verge of being where I should have been a year ago: working in a shop owned and operated by tattoo artists, people who understand the nature of the tattoo business. This is important to me having owned an operated a very successful business for over a decade before the bottom fell out due to the economy taking a shit. The only problem I had during that time was trying to run the shop AND focusing on the quality of the product I was executing. I juggled both for many years and had resigned myself to just doing one or the other since selling the shop, given I enjoy creating work more than overseeing it, I just wanted to work somewhere that I can focus on the work and let someone else deal with the rest of the bullshit. That's it, I don't need or want the stress that comes with owning/operating a shop, I just want to focus on my work and nothing else, I honestly believe my work can only get better if I can just focus on my product. I can still utilize all my business experience for my fine art and I have no worries about those products, it's second nature at this point.

In a way I am glad things didn't work out at my home, though I did manage to create a great deal of art with all of the down time, I have too many ideas for body art that would never come to fruition without the opportunities a shop will provide me with.
