About Me


without ME its just AWESO.
i'm boring. really, really boring.
i'm a 28 year old tattooist and graphic designer. i graduated with my BFA in painting in 2004 from MSU. i work two jobs full time. and yes, that is 80 hours a week, but both jobs are so fun. during the day i am the Art Director for BAKER DRIVETRAIN , and at night i tattoo people at Inkporium Tattoos in Lansing Michigan.
i have cats, not kids. they are rex, max, bones, and moli.
no baggers, no babies. right?
i play bass in Braineater: Check us out we are looking hard for a drummer - holla if youre interested.i like to ride motorcycles, and have an ongoing project bike: a 1972 Ironhead. It's okay to be jealous. its the raddest bike on the planet. thanks evan :)

CREATE YOUR OWN! - or -

My Interests

instead of listing a billion things i'm into... i'll just say that i love art. i draw, paint, tattoo, print with nearly every moment i have to do so. i like music - a lot. so i go to as many shows as possible and have something playing always- it keeps me normal (ish)... i think mohawks and tattoos are HOTT. i'll eat just about anything if it has cheese or chocolate on it. i like summer, not winter. which sux because of where i live. but summer allows me to lay in the hammock, wear flip flops and most importantly: RIDE MY MOTORCYCLE. i like to skateboard, i wish i were better at it... but all in due time my pretties. i like the color black, but not in a goth way... just in a i-wear-it-every-day-because-your-mom-sucks way. that about narrows it down to the important stuff. ♥
me tattooin'

I'd like to meet:

people who love things that i love. like art, and music, and tattoos, and motorcycles, and food. also: ninjas who wanna flip out and wail on the guitar with me. anyone who can make me SMILE.

oh. and these guys who happen to be my heroes:

sweet mother of god. YUM.

Music:

its very simple. punk. metal. most hardcore. rock. if its fast and hurts your ears then i ♥ it.

Movies:

ooh. i like me some movies. fight club, amelie, breakfast club, pretty in pink, 16 candles... actually just about any john hughes movie is awesome because that's what i grew up with, the labrynth, the last unicorn, drop dead fred, super troopers, donnie darko, anchor man, 40 yr old virgin, most comedies with that crew of comedians... i like lots o horror movies, the cheesier or campier that it is: the better.... anything with zombies is a go in my book. shaun of the dead, any george romero flick... etc. NICE.

Television:

i dont get to watch much tv because i'm usually at work from morning until midnight at one job or another... but i get sundays off and i like to watch the simpsons, family guy, etc. i'm a big dork and love getting caught up in a bad talk show on my days off though, like maurey or jerry springer- the more far fetched and the more yelling and bleeping the better. heh.

Books:

i read anything i can get my hands on. fiction, biographies, non fiction, comics, magazines. whatever. i like to read.

Heroes:

people who have worked over the decades to make tattooing more than just a seedy underground activity for bikers and criminals. people setting standards for art and cleanliness. people, like me, who go to work every day and prove that the ink under our skin doesnt affect who we are or what we do. also female artists and modern day feminists who have proven that you can be a fucking awesome tattoo artist and still have boobs. women changing the world that we have to live in.
folks who make saweeeeeeeet motorcycles. and hopefully someday, i'll have my bike done and everyone will ♥ it too.
my daddy.

oh. and my cats.

rex.

and

max.

and rex and max

and rex and max

and bones

aaaand Moli!
