So the word on the street is that the tattoo industry is closing ranks... due to corporate douchebags looking to make a buck off of an industry that was already difficult to break into. Thanks Spike TV and TLC. thank you for sending such an endless wave of douchebags into a flooded field.

With that being said... It makes no difference to me. I've invested a lot of time and money into my art career. On my own. I dont have the benefit of a college education or the contacts that are made during one. What I do have is a growing network of people who enjoy my work, and would like to see me succeed.

I really don't know what you will see my name on in the future. Will someone give me a chance and teach me the proper way to tattoo... will they help me to improve my drawing abilities... will I be working in a shop somewhere improving my craft? Will it be my illustrations in the pages of a comic book or on your favorite band's album cover? Honestly... I hope it's all of them. Every last bit of it.

No one person is going to "launch my career." That is not what I'm looking for. I have put in the time and hard work on a career before... this time is no different. I learned how to be a damn good electrician... but I learned it by doing it... by working with someone...

As you all get to know me over the years that i'm sure to be a part of the Suicide Girls community, you will find that I will go out of my way to help anyone that I can. I'm the person you can call no matter what time it is. Some of you already know this. I'm not asking for handouts... no charity... no freebies... just your support. Collaberation. Input. A good word.
