We are art. This fact we believe first and foremost. Art is what each of us live and breathe. It makes up our daily lives. Each one of us are creators. We have chosen to be active in this process and not passive. We create our lives in every moment and every breath that leaves our lips. Art is our passion and motivator, it is the driving force in our lives, our lifeblood, our center. We are all related, we are all family.
Hoping to find an artist that can touch up and add to my sleeves and some portraits as well.

I’m looking for an artist. Last weekend I got ink done while visiting the big isle. I picked a simple design, or so I thought. It’s horrible!! Not only is it far from the pic I gave, but the shading is uneven, the outlines are squiggly and she even messed up the outline and tried to cover up a spot where she miffed the outline with the light blue shading. I need the tattoo to be fixed to look more like the picture and new shading. Also, I’ve had numerous tatts and never have I been in that much pain, I nearly stopped after the outline due to pain but was urged to see it through. Please help.
