Current Update: We are back in Southern California! Don't ask about the South Africa trip ... it was a fucking nightmare.
Tattoo Artist / Body Piercer
(Not limited to, but specializing in tribal and celtic design)
I strongly believe in inking for individualism over profit! Demand originality. Flash work from a shop is like buying clothes from Walmart. Eventually you'll run into many others wearing the exact same thing. If you need to send me anything ... artwork, nude photos :), etc, email them to [email protected] . This email address will also allow you to add a friend request. Sorry, but I am tired of all the spam friend requests. So hopefully you read my profile to atleast get to this point :)No elitist attitude here! Everyone welcome!
I was born and raised in Ontario, California and spent most of my life never going anywhere. I bought into the whole concept of materialism and security as a way to survive. A concept which places value on you as a person by what you own and drive. It wasn't until I was 16 that I soon learned there was more to life then that! That there was a life outside my surrounding area and the distance you could drive in a weekend.
We try to experience as much as life has to offer, something I could never experience being locked down by a 9-5 job, a house mortgage, and tons of unnecessary bills for things just to make coping with a dull life manageable. Instead we move when we want to on the drop of a dime without the worries of restructuring our lives based on all the crap we've accumulated to make us feel important in society.
I strongly believe that you and only you make your life what it is. I don't concern myself with other people’s opinions to the point of changing my own just to fit in. I have found that most people try to subject you to a life that they themselves are not happy with so they are not alone. I speak my mind and am not afraid to talk about myself or my beliefs in fear of judgment of others.Just to keep everyone informed, I am back in Southern California after 5 months in South Africa.
I wouldn't say that I really fit into any one kind of clique. I have friends all over the world and from a lot of different backgrounds; I think that it's more interesting that way. I'm really laid back, open, honest, speak my mind. This has definitely been a great way to stay in touch with the friends and clients.
If I’m not working, then I’m usually involved with suspension shows (see http://www.suspension.org ) if you're not familiar with it. I also spend a lot of time focused on producing new how-to videos for the tattoo and piercing industry.
Photography Work:
I am currently photographing for various publications. Most of the publications fit into the tattooing and piercing industry in some form or another. I am always looking for models interested in artistic pinup style modeling. If you think you'd be interested, feel free to contact me. Please don't email me telling me about all the porn movies you've done and the rate you get paid ... not interested. I am looking for people that carry themselves in a professional manner and are looking to get seen in the industry. All my work is on a submission basis, some work will be published while other work will not.
Due to the overwhelming response I have received, please accept my apologies for any delay in responding to your initial contact.
I am also in the process of publishing a coffee table book in the near future focused on artistic nude and semi-nude pinup shots. If this sparks your interest and you feel you'd make a quality addition to this published piece, definitely contact me and i'll make you first priority.
