Well right now the only thing that interests me is making money. Currently I'm tattooing, designing clothing or customizing something on a car,bike,remote controlled car,computer...What ever I can modify.
Tattooing is deffinitley what pays the bills. I love my job, people pay me to cause them pain! But as you can tell the end result is worth it.
This piece was done in three different 2 hour sessions. He's a friend of mine so this was stretched over the course of a year.
Right now, I'm working out of a private studio (Munchy's Ink Addiction Tattoos, check out www.InkAddictionTattoos.com)on the North side of Chicago(by appointment ONLY), but we're actually in the process of opening a walk-in friendly shop (due to the growing staff and clientel base) and should be celibrating our grand opening some time around the 3rd fiscal quarter of this year.
Above is a before, below is the after. I personaly HATE the TRADITIONAL cover ups, like panthers(not that theres anything wrong with that, if thats what you want, but I hate being restricted). I pride myself on sending the customer home with something that is not only a cover up, but a piece that is going to get them compliments as well. Something that they won't regret. The best way to avoid this is plan you tattoo, sit down and THINK about how far you eventually want to go so that you can start planning towards a finished product, rather than trying to piece things together and trying to get them to fit. The best advice I can give you as a tattoo artist is, DON'T SKIMP!! if you don't have enough to get what you want, save the money untill you do. It's better than settling for something you're just going to end up covering up later.(DUDE, WHAT CAN I GET FOR 80 BUCKS??) ......A life lesson.
The price varys depending on the design, and we pride ourselves on providing a quality tattoo in a safe STERILE environment. We have over 10,000 sheets of flash, dozens of designs on each sheet!! Or, if you already have something in mind, we always enjoy doing custom work! Now, I like doing color pieces, but I REALLY enjoy black and grey, pieces.
I've tattooed two, thirds of the Chicago based rap group Triple Darkness and look forward to tattooing other members of the Drama Ward and Cwal( As well as other rappers from the CHI....So hit me up CHI TOWN!!)
We can also do portraits. Although, we require preparation at least 2 days beforehand. We also have piercing available, along with a wide assortment of body jewlery. We have two Piercing Technicians available,My partner Shawn(Co-Founder/Co-Owner), and Derek(Senior Piercing Technician).
