123PicHosting.comMy name is James, And I have been an artist since I was runnin around the house as a little tike, drawing on my moms walls with crayons, or any writing untensil I could get my hands on. I remember In second grade was when I really started getting into sketching. This kid next to me named Sha-Ron Swisson taught me how to draw a little more realisticly. Showed me those how to draw books, and I was hooked. Ever sice then I Have been drawing anything I could, and it had to be perfect. I have been a tattoo artist for 3 years now, not as long as some of the greats, but im striving to get there, and im only getting better. Ever since I was a teenager I always wanted to do tattoos. I started of doing my first tattoo with a needle and India Ink. Eventually, I graduated to building my own machine from parts around the house. I used a toothbrush for the frame, A pen tube for the ink tube, a walkman motor, an A/c adapter, and either sewing needles, or a guitar string for the tattooing. Let me tell you, my tattoo machines now, work much better. I did my apprenticeship under Shannon walton, who works at Black Lotus Tattoo in Milwaukee Wi. He taught me all the basics I needed to know, but also told me, I cant teach you skills, you either have it or you dont. I guess I had it, And ive been working on it ever since. Thanx for everything Shannon. At the moment I am working out of my house, which is totally legal on the Rez, but I will be opening my own shop within the next year. Everything I use is steryl, I open the packages right in front of you. I might not be in a shop right now, but everything I do Is shop quality from the work to the cleanliness. I follow all the Laws I learned in Wisconsin, which is one of the more strict states when it comes to tattooing. I speacialize in Animals, but I will do anything somebody wants. From Color pieces to black and grey, Large Pieces to lettering. I wont disapoint you. I work Only by appointment and I need the artwork at least 2 days in advance with the size that you want. Anything bigger like sleeves or backwork, I need it a week in advance, So I can have the stencils ready for your arrival.
