EDWIN M. TATTOO

Born and raised here in Los Angeles- I’ve been drawing and painting ever since I can hold a crayon. After graduating high school I enlisted in the army to serve and for college money. Unfortunately it didn’t cover much- I worked three jobs to get through college and finally graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.Afterwords, I worked as a designer for about 5 years and an art director for another 5 years. Working with companies such as Earthlink, Mattel, a few boutique marketing and entertainment agencies. By the time I was comfortable enough and could practically write my own ticket as an Art Director- I was burned out of the corporate world and it was time for me to move on.I'd been getting tattoos and one particular friend convinced me to become a tattoo artist. So one day while getting tattooed by "Jack Rudy" I asked him his advice on how to get started and his reply was to find an old school apprenticeship- which I did. At a small neighborhood shop where I met my mentor Sam H. I completed an old school apprenticeship from mixing ink, making needles to and building tattoo machines to actually tattooing and working at tattoo conventions.a few years later and several shops later- I’ve finally made a home at Ink Addicts Tattoo in San Pedro, CA. I really do love doing all styles; black -n- gray, traditional, neo-traditional, realist color you name it. I'm a Los Angeles artist that takes a tremendous amount of pride in my work! I'm in it for the sake of becoming an artist and growing as a person. So if you want some work hit me up and we'll get you all inked up!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~ href="http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3Lm15c3BhY2UuY2 9t" style="position:absolute; z-index:9; top:0px; left:50%; margin-left:180px; width:80px; height:15px; background-image:;"> <a
