TATTOOS. (and all things related to them. art, symbolism, color theory, shading, design, life, Theoligy, memorials, God, the devil and all the pain/pleasure in between. Tattoos are the culmination of everything within and without you. A taste of the spirit on the flesh. a piece of your past where no time can erase it. As imortal and frail as we are. Tatu: an echo of humanity on a universal scale; found throughout history.)... & other things:
religion & spirituality; two seperate yet connected ideas. belly dancing, medical marijuana. music, supernatural, friends, more dancing, driving, drunken karioke debotchery (like my spelling) nights out, graphic design, sex & cuddles; in no perticular order. travel, I mean real travel losing yourself to a space greater than your normal life. real experiences (Near death or near life. both are good), adventures, SCA (not a real life experience, a seperate life experience.), providing a service to my clients that is above and beyond what they expect from a new and budding artist. Being myself and putting a piece of me in all of my work. Imortality.
You Are Whiskey
You're a tough drinker, and you take it like a man
That means no girly drinks for you - even if you are a girl
You prefer a cold, hard drink at the end of the day
Every day, in fact. And make that a few.
Nick Cave... dark and creepy. You're a bi-polar genius, with equal passion for the most degrading aspects of humanity, as well as the beauty & wonder of God and Heaven. Take this quiz!

"Those cosmetic drugs, she said, those mood equalizers and antidepressants, they only treat the symptoms of the bigger problem. Every addiction, she said, was just a way to treat this same problem. Drugs or overeating or alcohol or sex, it was all just another way to find peace. To escape what we know. Our education. Our bite of the apple. Language, she said, was just our way to explain away the wonder and the glory of the world. To deconstruct. To dismiss. She said people can’t deal with how beautiful the world really is. How it can’t be explained and understood.

I was a student at Oregon School of Tattoo Arts. Now, licensed in the State of Oregon, I am working at OSTA as a Teaching Assistant part-time; and soon to be found at the new opening Skeleton Key Tattoo on Hawthorn Blvd.

All while continuing to search for the perfect space to construct my dream parlor. all information about this project is strickly classified. soon to be copywrited let's just say it will be sublime! anyhoo The State of Oregon requires 210 hours of theory in addition to the 150 hours of actual tattooing. In my completion of the 150 hours I extended myself to having almost 250 tattoos in less than my first year of experience. having finished all the requirements of my school, I feel more than ready for my new path.
I say again do you need tattoos? If your answer is yes then you have found the right Bird woman.
Give it a thought.
I am currently attending both Oregon School of Tattoo Arts and Portland Community College, working on my business plan, my first real year of independant tattooing, and business associates at the same time. All I've wanted for as long as I can remember. a secret quiet want, my parlor, my art perminate and the trust that comes with being a tattoo artist. I just never took myself seriously for this occupation before it all fell into my lap. with my beautiful business partner, Michelle, our goal is by the end of 2009 to be completing work on this new chapter of our endevors.
UPDATE: DAMN if I'm not a super buisy girl. life's just keeping me running.it's a matter of how to adjust my rates and still keep most of my clients. Tattoo's will being going up to $80 - $100 a session with all new appointments in the new year. more updates soon. any questions/comments/concerns just drop me a line and I'll be happy to fill you in.
Fist 'N' Faith.

A little about me:
6'3" ish, amazon by trade
native amarican(canadian tribe)/german/danish/irish/scandinavian etc.
hazel eyes, current hair mood: Black (no bird jokes)
I live with an amazing best friend and crazy woman, Bella. An Irish pirate if there ever was one. Seamstress and belly dancer. She's the fire baby who's got a whole lot more spunk than she realizes. My twin sister in all but birth; we've covered the blood bonding already. she is my better half, half of the time. But definetly the sugar to my salt. check her out at: http://www.myspace.com/freedom_dress
And my boyfriend, a surprising gemini-cancer who is just the right kind of trouble. Joe started out as a surprise and he hasn't stopped. one of the few men who can keep me guessing & laughing. yet some how I've managed to keep him for the last two going on three years.
I'm one of those girls who grew up having a "bad-boy fetish". it only took about 20 failed relationship of various colors to realize that I shouldn't have to look so hard to find satisfaction in life. Biggest lesson thus far from dealing with people: you can't change them. As mom always said, it has to start with you. And so it has.
I like my eyes and my smile. I miss my hair. I love to laugh, smash, cuddle, dance, drink, and wrestle around, having fun is just a way of living. urban sabotage, water balloons. jello wresteling, snowball wars, beach adventures you name it. from shananegans to hoot'n'nannies, shindigs to down right smear parties; I'm your girl.
Great work on the brown! I've been barinstorming some of them t shirt ideas if you're still thinking about the graff piece. Hope to see you for the 4th.
Hey you, I'm checking in on ya. I hope all is well in your world; I'm sending all the good energy I can your way. :)
