I started tattooing when I was 18. I was just out on my own at the time. I'd made a home made machine and worked out of my apartment. I wanted to apprentice, but no shop would give me the chance.



After 4 years, I finally got my first pro gun. I watched other artists tattoo me and read every mag I could get my hands on. I practiced on friends, getting better and better. After 13 years of tattooing, I prefer to work on my own.



I have done the circuit of pro shops, such as Super Rock, Tatoo et ca ect, but in shops I am restricted in what I can do. I've worked across Canada and in Florida. My own work was done by Christian from Paris, Randy Stewart, and Kieth Sewart (a pro, but very rude to his clients)from Montreal.



I also do branding and scarification and body piercing. I design my own work. I have done all of Alley's work. If I didnt tattoo regularly I would be a heavy metal singer but still tattoo. I do it for the love of it, not to get rich.



Blackie.
