I am an old-school Ink-Slinger, and Outlaw Motorsickle Rider. I’ve been doin’ both for well over 40 years now, and I’m still alive to tell the Tale, and Do It Some More! The oldest tattoo I've got that’s still showin’ proudly proclaims to the rest of the world, “I Ride an INDIAN Motorsickle GODDAMNIT”. I also like to fly Sailplanes, and fight with Sabres. I like to go to the Texas Renaisance Festival, and am a card-carryin’ “Rennie”. I’m also into good music; Texas Outlaw, (Willie Nelson for President!), Southern Rock & Roll, old- school Blues, and old-school Jazz. “Hair Bands” are gay, “Rap Music” is an oxymoron for morons, and Death Before Disco! Reggae is cool to listen to when you’re smokin’ Willie-Wanna , (Willie wanna smoke some Willie-Wanna?). Life for me is GOOD! I live in a cabin up in the woods in one of the oldest communities in Texas, (founded in 1822), I work in a bad-ass Tattoo Shop in Bryan, Texas with some of the most talented artists in the country, I’ve got some of the most bad-ass friends, and Brothers (thas’ somethin’ a little bit more Serious than a "friend"), I’ve got a bad-ass INDIAN Motorsickle, (my “Tar Baby”, a.k.a. “Black Tar”), and a Family that Loves me. “Shit *igga, Hell!”, it jus’ don’t get no better’n that! I am also the Master Tattooist for the International Institute of Tattoo in Bryan / College Station, Texas. I now tattoo mostly by appointment so that I can focus my attention on the individual needs of my apprentices, but I'm sure that i can find the time to tattoo on you too. We have the largest on-going Tattoo and Piercing Apprenticeship Program in the world, successfully teaching the skills and techniques necessary to become well-rounded professional Tattoo Artists and Piercers since 1993. Formerly located in Austin, Texas, we moved to the Brazos Valley in 2004, and we now operate two “State of the Art” studios here in the Brazos Valley: Toon Towne Tattoos and Piercing, (named after the Artist’s Colony where the resident artists and craftspeople of the Texas Renn-Faire produce their arts and crafts), located across from the Tejas center in Bryan, and Pinky’s New School Tattoos and Exotic Piercing, located across from the Texas A&M campus in the Northgate Entertainment District in College Station Texas.We are very proud of our Apprenticeship Program, and the talented artists and apprentices that staff our studios. Please click on the International Institute of Tattoo site in my friends list to check out the portfolios of our current apprentices, as well as our successful graduates. You can follow each of the apprentices as they serve their apprenticeships, as well as follow the careers of our successful graduates. All of the artists featured in the friends section of the IIT site are current or graduated apprentices. We also have photo galleries featuring the work of former apprentices from our Austin Studios on this site, as well as photos of the Texas Tattoo Shoot-Out that we produced with Skin Art, and Tattoo Review magazines. I also invite you to visit to our web-site; www.internationalinstituteoftattoo.com, for complete description of our Tattoo and Piercing Apprenticeship Program, as well as an on-line test on the Texas Department of State Health Services Regulations for Tattoo and Piercing Studios. We also have an Apprentice Questionnaire that we would like you can submit so that we can know a little more about you, and your Tattoo and Piercing experience. If you are interested in becoming one of our apprentices, please go to our new IIT student Center Site; www.myspace.com/iitstudentcenter, and add it to your Friends space, send us a message and we will get right back to you. This site is equipped with Instant Messaging so we can have “real time” conversations, and live video messaging. We monitor this site Mon. – Sat. from 9AM – 9PM. Send us an IM, and if we are not tattooing, or otherwise occupied, we will get right with you.Feel free to send me your comments, or send me a message, and I will be glad to get back to you as soon as I can. Enjoy the sites.Tattoos By Notorious Ed.<img src="http://x.myspace.com/images/Messenger/im/btn_b
