How long have you been a tattoo artist?<br />

I have been tattooing for about 30 years.<br />

Do you remember the first tattoo that you ever done?<br />

Wow… that was so long ago. I would have to say a tiger with a heart on my cousins chest.<br />

How would you describe your tattooing style?<br />

As an artist you need to be able to draw and tattoo any style of images you are going to tattoo. I do enjoy doing<br />

Japanese style tattoos. That’s one of my favorites.<br />

Where is the most difficult place for you to tattoo someone?<br />

I would have to say your arm pits are one of those difficult spots.<br />

Do your friends let you tatt them up for practice?<br />

Yes. When I started out a lot of my friends let me tattoo them. That’s how I was able to get better.<br />

What is your craziest story?<br />

<strong>The</strong> craziest I would have to say was when I was tattooing BTK, a Chinese gang from Chinatown. <strong>The</strong>y would get<br />

these big tattoos on their backs and sit for crazy hours without moving.<br />

Should drunk people get inked?<br />

Definitely not. I won’t tattoo you if you’re drunk<br />

What is the most bizarre tattoo you have ever put on someone?<br />

This happy chick wanted stars and a moon on her private part.<br />
