Summary
I have independently owned and operated a tattoo and art gallery for over thirteen years. During that time I have trained and worked closely with many great artists. I built two brick and mortar stores from the ground up and ran them successfully until my closing. I have learned to manufacture and maintain many different machines, jewelry and furniture used in my stores. Although I am no longer a business owner I know that I have learned many valuable lessons that I believe would make me an excellent employee.
