I will be closed July 4, 2009. I wish you all a Happy Holiday in celebrating "Independence Day".

I will be closed July 18, 2009. I going to relax during the day and then go to the Pat Benatar Concert.

In the last 4 years I have not taken 2 days off in a row. 
The important two friends, I have made here, reminded me to at least take 1 day off from time to time. 
It is needed to release the tension and remember why I moved here in the first place - to enjoy nature, and my life.
I forgot again, so Party time is becoming more of a priority. My journey out here has been quite magical.


The response to the new website has been very positive. Thank you all.
There are some errors to be found, I am sure, if you encounter one - email me please.


I began my 5th year out here as of June 1, 2009.
That's right 4 years in Redmond, Washington. Prior to that 6 years in Oak Park, Michigan.
Serving Redmond, Washington and the greater Seattle, Washington area
for tattoos, and piercings since June 1, 2005.

I am open for growth.

The newest painting I am working on to commemorate my 4th Anniversary is shown here (as of 6/182009) as a sneak preview.
The brief description of it is this "An inter-dimensional Spirit Guide is opening a wormhole. (close up of detail) - 6/19/2009
From this fractal wormhole she is conquering forth creatures to bring to the Earth. These creatures are coming to the Jungles of Belize to begin the celebration of their existence and the fore running of the coming of the spontaneous creation of the Mayans."
Painting dimensions are 4' x 6' and is a mixed media creation, watch it evolve at my shop!
 This website now appears identical on all browsers : Windows Internet Explorer, Safari, Fire Fox, etc.
Sometimes different browsers have different effects on websites - due to their competition with each other.  So, when clicking to enlarge a photo, they will open a "tab" - don't close "all tabs", just the "tab" that is open. You will catch on.
This website is finally operational, whew!  I apologize for the down time (believe me I do not like being off the web).
I added the gift certificate to the Homepage - right here - Hit it and send a loved one a gift of a tattoo and be in their mind - forever.
Click any "thumbnail" photo to see a larger detailed version.
If you are ready to get a tattoo, are a little shy of cash, but are ready, willing and able - then walk - in, explain what you want, or show me a picture and let's work it out.  Art is my life - you want some ink - let's do this together. You can reward yourself, cheer yourself up, celebrate a new start, what ever you have for a reason.  Let's get you inked with some fine art.
The shop is clean, warm, cozy and I serve tea.
As you will see, by surfing my website, I have tackled many a challenging design and tattooed all over the human body. It is a small shop and that gives you "quiet" time away from the hustle and bustle of our everyday life.  When getting a tattoo on an intimate area: the shades are drawn, a note is attached to the door to ask visitors to respect your privacy and return later, and you can relax and listen to music or watch one of my many videos.
A new tattoo is without a doubt a truly unique and enjoyable experience. Bring your excitement and awe and an idea - then if you are serious, ready to go - I will transform your wishes, thoughts and dreams into art.

This is my new website.  I am redesigning this website, to be more user friendly.
Man what an ordeal this has been to get this website up and running - and it is up and running - over time I will "spruce" it up a bit. 
 I really want this website to be my very best effort.  It is much easier to navigate and you can't get lost. It will take me a year or so to get as many photos as possible transferred over.  I love you all in my viewing audience and hope you can bear with me and stay loyal to my website, my shop & me.  Please email me with any errors you discover, broken links or any ideas, or products you want to see and buy on line.  I am going to get serious with advertisers in the right hand column, finally.  If you want to advertise on this website call my shop at (425) 895 - 8519 and inquire about the rates.
Navigate by using the tabs - just like opening folders at work - the "Tattoos Organized" tab is where I will add all the old pages, and then continue to add more art and pages. Please check out that tab - THE RIBCAGE TATTOOS - link, can be found there.
On the "Tattoos Organized " page, you will currently find 22 links to pages of my tattoos, every variety is covered.
All the tabs describe what is in that folder, easy, piece of cake, and you just go from tab to tab, and never get lost, do you dig it?

I have always had the links to these 3 thought provoking movies (see below) on my website.
Feel free to watch them - they present a different view of things. I guess they challenge us to think!

 Zeitgeist
(movie #1).
 
 Addendum to Zeitgeist (movie #2).
The beginning of the movie "Addendum" is slow and about the real way money is made and used.
The second part is very positive and presents an idea for a resource based economy as opposed to currency.
A very thought provoking potential for a future world not based on oil. Hey, my clients are very smart - so I add these things.

 
"The Future of Food", (movie #3).
Monsanto wants to own all plants, trees, insects, food on the Earth, see the GMOs, and the strategy behind them - this is insanity - they even invented the "Terminator Seed" - plants that do not reproduce so they can control the food supply on the Earth.  A very informative movie.  You will see that the woman ahead of the EPA is a Monsanto employee.  What can the common man do to stop this?
