U Can't Fake The Funk

About Me



"Beware of Cheap Imitations!"

I am a legendary tattoo artist & one of the best portrait photographers in the world. I enjoy Exotic People, Places and Things. I am into the Spiritual & Supernatural, Eroticism & the Sensual. I like Intrigue & Mystique in everything. I love Classical Music, but I listen to Jazz, Funk, Soul, The Blues & Tom Waits. I drink Starbucks coffee & I dig eBay, Kitsch, Pornography, Good Food & Chocolate. Rituals, Customs, Beliefs & Folklore of different cultures interests me. I like to read & I enjoy television. I collect artwork & vintage photos. I believe "The End" is near, in the apocalyptic sense. I have unusual tastes that are somewhat deviant & I love my friends.
