A little history: 

My love of art started at a young age.  I was always drawing or creating in one way or another even as early as kindergarten.  All through school, I took extra drawing, art, or photography classes to fulfill my need to be creating.  After high school, I decided to continue my love of art by attending Valdosta State University's Fine Arts program.  I had dreams of one day being an art teacher and passing on my passion of art to all my students.  Once I left college, I got a job working at a print shop as a graphic designer.  I loved this job, because people would give me their ideas and I would help create them.  Whether it was for a business logo or a tshirt design for their music group, I loved doing it. 

After I met Jammer, he eventually talked me into learning to tattoo.  I originally just helped out at the shop, helping customers fill out paper work, or doing a few custom drawings.  Once he convinced me I would be good at tattooing, I started my apprenticeship.  I apprenticed for almost three years before I did my first tattoo on my mom.  Ever since I sunk my first needle into the skin, I knew I was in love.  From that point on, I knew I had found my calling.
