I have been tattooing since 1995 in Oklahoma where it had been outlawed since 1963.

I fought for over a decade to get tattooing legalized, spent many hours at the State Capitol.

Was arrested  twice for tattooing, which one time the police raided my home and took any piece of paper, pencil

or anything tied to art. A long drawn out court battle ended the police enforcement of the tattoo law.

    I opened my own shop in 2009 after tattooing for many other shops since 1999 and using my time with these shops to see exactly how i DID not

want to have a shop be, I was left with all the things I WOULD like to see in my shop!

I have no flash on the walls so you must present me with a conceptual idea for me to draw from. This way each customer gets a unique design based off their idea.I do not try to tattoo only one style as some artists do, I work at being proficient at all forms and styles of tattooing to offer the best I can for any design. I strive to have a friendly place with no attitude and only a fun relaxed atmosphere for you to get  the tattoo you wish for.Mission Street Tattoo, my shop, has a medical office appeal to set at ease any whom enter. Stop in and say hi anytime and Thank You for looking!
