About Me


I have been tattooing for 20 years, and have played bass guitar in metal bands since the 80's. My band Stonegate recorded a CD in june of 2000, and we toured for a bit. Check out youtube, search for Stonegate and look up Stand Alone and Devil. Unfortunatly my bro, Manny Garza- rip Jr., died and I had enough of the rock and roll life. Always tattooing at the same time. It's tough to serve too many masters and metal and tattooing are pretty dominating as far as life goes. I love tattooing and I also build custom tattoo machines for the best artists in the industry. I have been on television several times for tattooing. WGN news interveiwed me at a convention. I did a tattoo on the comedy central show Battlebots, and I was on Wild Chicago, a local tv show. No reality show though, just not dramitic enough. I am an award winning artist, and I have been featured in many magazines. I am the Illinois and Wisconsin State Rep for the Alliance of Proffesional tattooists. I love riding my Harley with my old school blood brothers, ah yes, the good old days are dead and gone, nothin' but yuppie pinheads now.
