Accomplishments
Managed to build and run my own show. Starting in 1992 after graduating school and pushing through 5 years of jobs that I worked while building my own craft. Having traveled and worked overseas and running my own business for 13 years, I have learned much from being self employed as a tattooist since 1992. You don't really get to run for 33 years on nothing. I give much thanks to all my clients since the beginning because they are all partially responsible for length of time that I have been operating. A very big salute and thank you to all who have shown support understanding respect and love over the past 33 years. Having graduated in 1992 with federal license, having tattooed for 33 years. And having so far raised my twins who are now 12 years old as I shift into a new career with a Class A license with 5 Endorsements. I can't complain. I am great full On to the next chapter.
