***MAJENTA*** A pistol packin’ mama with a diamond chip on her shoulder, Majenta is recognized as one of the top woman artists working today. She is best described as a living fluorescent whirlwind, often found amidst throngs of adoring celebrity admirers at one of her trademark sexy parties, which scientific experts have linked to the inspiration for both Kiss and GWAR’s arrival here on earth.Majenta has done enough tattoos in her lifetime to blanket the earth two times over; a feat she made a reality in 2004 when she did exactly that, followed shortly by a well received cover up. (The Earth was recovering from a bad breakup at the time).She is the proud owner of 3 of the 7 artifacts officially recognized by the Vatican as having belonged to Marilyn Monroe. (And, no, you can’t see them).***JIBO*** When other men give up and say: “I don’t know if I can tattoo that…†Jibo simply says: “So, just how awesome did you want me to make this?†Commanding an army of over 256 shades of Black & Grey, Jibo will turn your hide into a work of Art worthy of Taxidermy. The son of a tattoo artist, Jibo has been around shops, drawing and designing tattoos since he was a kid. He completed his apprenticeship in Tucson , AZ under another award-winning artist, Johnny Ray Rogers (a student of the legendary Keily Tackett). He enjoys doing all styles, with an emphasis on Custom Pieces, Traditional and Black & Gray. When he’s not tattooing, you can see Jibo on stage fronting the Seattle-based punk outfit, The Insurgence.***MATT*** Matt has been hanging out in Tattoo shops since before he could read; about age 15. Because of his early exposure to the art, he tattoos the way some people speak latin: with a chip on his shoulder and thinking he’s so damn cool. His confidence is well founded, however, and he stands out as a wunderkind in the New Skool style. An international man of mystery, he used his early success to fund several adventures abroad, where he honed his craft among the hills of Scotland.Formerly an artist at Fenix, he has found life at Diamond to be anything but rough (har, har, har) and loves taking the personal stories and insights of his clients to create collaborative works of intensely personal skin art, echoing his passion for jazz guitar and hard, fast livin’!***DAVE*** Sporting an impressive 0% tattoo fatality rate, Dave specializes in painterly color tattoo, expressing the rainbow hues of an ascending carp or the clouded tones of a corpse’s descending eyeball with equal ease and skill. Hailing from parts unknown, and heading for parts none o’ yer beeswax, Dave is a riddle wrapped in a question wrapped in an enigma, fitted with a specially designed tattooing arm made to get perfect results, every time, all of the time.***SQUID*** Squid comes from a background of great adversity, which greatly influences the raw, edgy character of his work. Divorcing his parents at age 5, he went to work in the local salt mine. He learned his love of tattoo from the colorful images adorning the bodies of the kindly older miners.Personal hardship forced him to find alternate employment in the world of exotic dance, where he performed for several years under the stage name “the Pilipino love monkeyâ€.He has taken great pains throughout his life to ensure that neither of his testicles hangs lower than the other, a feature to which he greatly attributes his famously steady hand. His favorite movie is “Beachesâ€.***TINA*** Tina comes to Diamond Tattoo with many years of experience in apprenticeship. After her apprenticeship with a sorcerer (dissolved after those damn walking mops ratted her out for taking extra breaks to watch those dancing flowers), she moved onto Apprenticeship in a more public forum in a TV reality show. After being curtly dismissed by an eerie talking hairpiece for failing to cross a balance beam while collating legal contracts, she came to Renton to pick up the pieces. Sensing the waves of overflowing tattoo experience emanating from Diamond and their world-class staff, Tina was drawn to try her hand at the inkly arts, and it appears that her yearn to learn is finally being satisfied as she settles into her place as one of the most promising young hopefuls to ever walk through Diamond’s doors.
