4worldlovers: Art is about passion. I believe it should be done in a fun and comfortable environment. Everyone is different and has their own unique view of the world, and that's especially true when it comes to artist. We look at the world from a different perspective.

Being a tattoo artist is a humbling experience. People come to us with their ideas & we turn them into art. It takes a lot of trust to allow someone to permanently alter your body. Tattoos last a lifetime, and it's an honor to have that much trust instilled in you. Hands down the greatest profession in the world.
