Tattooing since forever and then some.
Jim got his start as most artists did, he was a simple collector of fine tattoos from the shops of Long Beach Pike, CA.
He learned the details of the craft from some of the businesses most legendary artists. In other words, Bob Shaw told
him if he tattooed himself, they'd see him for the cover up, Jersey George laughed at him when he said he wanted to be an
artist. And Doc Webb happily took his money for tattoo equiptment, without telling him how messy the powered ink would be!
But Jim was determined, and he kept at it till he was able to prove himself to the masters of the art.
During his travels, Jim has been lucky enough to work along side some
of Old Schools greatest and New Skools up and coming artists of their day.
From Hawaii's Mike Brown to Connecticut's Danny Williams and the Corey's, (Kruger,
Kore Flatmo and Miller that is).
Judy Parker, Keeley Tackett, Jack Rudy, Gil Monte are just a few of the people Jim
has been able to work with and learn from.
