Pain is my business...and business is good.

About Me

Tattoos/Piercing: I have been working as a professional piercer since 1992. Over the years I have opened 6 piercing studios, closed four, sold one...and most recently sold the original studio, Obscurities, that I owned and operated for 15 years.

Laser Tattoo Removal: In July of 2007 I started my new career as a laser technician specializing in pigment reduction and tattoo removal. Ironic? No not really. Why did I chose laser tattoo removal as my next profession? It was actually the next logical step. There are so many people with tattoos that need to be fixed. Honestly I think most people with multiple tattoos want something fixed, reworked or changed. Although I'm happy to do total removal, my true goal is to lighten existing tattoos to create new canvas for the people that want or need a change.

Photography: I have been dabbling in photography for over 25 years. However, I've been shooting professionally for 8 years.

Suspension: I have been working as a suspension practioneer since 1992

My Interests

Photography, Suspension, Piercing, Tattoos, Computers, Firearms
