I Began Tattooing as A self taught artist In the Late 70’s became proficient at it, and decided I might like to do this for a living,
So, After working on people for a number of years, I took an apprenticeship from Steven (Tiny) Carney @ Shanghai Lil's tattoo, MO, whom apprenticed under Burt Grim him self,
(No, unfortunately, I never got a chance to meet Burt before he died) I Also Apprenticed under Debbie Gerard as a body piercer.
Sense then iv worked for and/or managed many tattoo shops such as; Captains cabin, FL, my good friend Shona Furlough @ Adventurous Art Tattoo, FL,
Mike Piperato @ Images in Ink, NJ, Ernie Caraffa @ Tattoo City, NJ. Pit @ Blood Sweat and Ink, NJ. George Moralas @ First Class Tattoo, NJ.
Opened My own Shop in 2000 Electric Blue Tattoo And Body Piercing, Bel-Alton, MD.
Sold the shop in November 06, and went to work for Studio One-Eleven Tattoo Company on Hilton Head Island, SC. Un-Named Person @ Five Points Custom Tattoo, Columbia, SC.
