How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
As a child I did alot of drawing and then when I got my first tattoo I knew it was what I wanted to pursue. In 1992 walked up to larry Shaws and was hired with no tattoo shop experience and learned alot of my fundamental points of approach to tattooing as the guys i was working with at the time.
I tattooed walk ins for 6 years straight staying up at the studio for long hours and tattooing alot of people.
Moved on to open Texas Body Art in 1998/1999
I was the only piercer and artist the first 3 weeks as I open and it grew into more customers and more artists.
I eventualyy opened 2 other locations and stretched myself out to thin,so I decided to put all my energy into one spot 4 years ago.I never dreamed I would become the quality artist I am an only dreamed of being a top artist.
I am 40 Now and I still have the fire inside to design and create and push the envelope with my knowledge and experience to my advantage as the last years of my life unfold.
