About Me

I have re-opened No Hope No Fear Tattoo Art Studio in Portland, Oregon primarily by appointment. We are usually open from noon til 6pm or later if we're still working. Tuesday through Saturday. (Sundays and Mondays are appointment ONLY!) We do, however, close if we are finished working and there's nothing to do- so it's best to call ahead. Rachel Gilbert has joined No Hope No Fear Tattoo Art Studio! Check out her work and get tattooed! The new address is 2923 SE Division st. Portland, Oregon 97202 503/327-8192I have been a tattoo artist for 13 years now. I moved to Portland from Chicago in August 2004. Check out the website for more info. www.tattoomonster.com

My Interests

Art, Tattooing, Music. All the usual stuff.

I'd like to meet:

Other serious tattoo artists, fine artists and tattoo fans. I do not want any friends who are not artists or collectors. That means no suppliers. Also, Artists without examples of their work on their page will not be added.I am not interested in adding anyone who is involved in any movement that involves hate. I am for equality for all races, beliefs, and sexual orientation. If you are not- Don't Bother contacting me.And I am NOT looking for romance. I will not add anyone that I can't veiw their profile first. Sorry.

Music:

I listen to lots. A few... Gogol Bordello, Clutch, Nomeansno, System of a Down, Dresden Dolls, Circus Contraption, Split Lip Rayfield, Melvins, Slipknot, Devotchka, Alice in Chains, Deadbolt, Jane's Addiction, Descendents, Bad Livers, Beastie Boys, Copshootcop, Firewater, Butthole Surfers, Asylum Street Spankers, Tool, Jim Page, NoFX, Bad religion, Pain Teens, Primus, Devo, Dog Fashion Disco, Frank Zappa, ... No Crap allowed/font

Movies:

Too Many to Name. Blade Runner, Fight Club, Momento, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind... I like movies that have something to say, and you don't predict the manner in which it will be said. Not so into the violent movies anymore./font

Television:

I try not to watch T.V. but got hooked on 'Lost' and I always liked 'Jeopardy'. Scrubs and Survivorman are new favorites!/font

Books:

Recently read Cesar Milllan's "Cesar's Way" It really changed the relationship I have with my dogs in a positive way./font

Heroes:

"Heroes" is a strong word. People I admire are people who know what is right and stand up for their beliefs. People who who have their act together, take care of business and don't get mixed up in drama./font
