The response from these graphic projects was great , the results being very unique in a sea of mediocrity.Other Experience1994-2007: Have performed the ritual of tattooing since the age of 16. This is not an advertised service and is performed more as a gratuitous service. This aspect of my artwork is reserved for old clients & friends as they understand that my tattooing is an extension of my painting and I treat it as such , doing only large custom pieces , many of which take years to complete.For More Info Visit:
