I am an American, born and raised in Asia, I am married & living in Dallas, Texas. My father is a Missionary and Bible Scholar, so I am steeped in Christian symbolism, as well as Oriental Buddhism. I have also been practicing Japanese Budo [spiritual martial disciplines] since I was a child of 6 and hold ranking in 4 Martial Arts. I do Shodo (Japanese Kanji and calligraphy) and I certify 100% accurate character translation. I have been a professional Artist for over 30 years, in some form or another. In my youth, I have apprenticed under LeRoy Best & Christopher Grimes. I am a classically trained portrait artist and cartoonist with a degree in design from ACU. I love the Art-form of Tattooing and I take it very seriously. You are a living canvas and Skin Art is 4ever, ... so, Be smart! It is YOUR BODY. Be careful what you put on your body. Use a reputable tattoo parlor & artist to have your design implemented. .............................................................................................................Please visit my blog to find out more about me my designs.
