Have you always been interested in art? When you were a child, did you envision yourself working as an artist (or tattoo artist) when you grew up?
Yes I have, and yes I did. Ever since I can remember that is all that I wanted to be. I started very young trying to draw “stuff”—from comics to animals. Basically, just tried to make my drawings look like what I was looking at. When I hit high school, I began to take art more seriously, and began taking private art classes. Later, I qualified to enroll in an advance art program from another nearby high school and did that for a while with the plans of going to college to fulfill a fine arts degree. Well, I made it to college (Wayne State University in Detroit), and was working on that art degree with all of the best intentions to become an art Professor.
