| I
have lived in Bemidji most of my life and have been involved in some
sort of art all my life. I attended "The School of Associated
Arts" in St. Paul, Minnesota in 1969 and 1970, for
commercial and fine arts.
It didn't take
me long to get bored with that, so I took a different direction in
life.
I started
playing music and ended up doing that for about 21 years. I was a
lead singer and guitar player, and covered most the country
traveling with my road bands.I've been tattooing now for almost 20
years, and building custom Harleys for about the same, or more.
It gets to be a
rat race at times because both businesses can be rather demanding,
and very time-consuming. |

I had my own tattoo shop,
"Outlaw Tattoo," which I strived to maintain a good
reputation, which is hard to do, in this competitive, cut-throat
business. I always had more business than I could usually handle, and I
have tattooed people from all over the world, and in all walks of life.
I have tattooed
almost everything, and on every part of the body, so nothing surprises
me anymore. I started tattooing here at "Body Matrix,"
almost a year ago now, and so far, I have enjoyed the new environment
very much. I think we have a very good team here, and people should be
relaxed, knowing that a good job will be done, whether they are getting
a tattoo, or getting pierced. |
