Travis

What year did you start tattooing?
I did my first tattoo at age 13 in 1996 on my best friend with a homemade machine and printer ink.  Then, my second one was on myself in 2001 at age 17.  I worked as an apprentice for 7 months and began tattooing professionally after that.  I believe you never stop learning, I constantly strive to get better at my craft.  Every day I tattoo, I learn something new and exciting.

Tell us about your style of work.
My style of work is  very eclectic.  I do many styles well, but my favorite (or the style I love most) is painters style: abstract, watercolor or actual paintings -- taking an image and making it look artsy. I want my tattoos to be a piece of art, not just a tattoo. 

How did you get into tattooing?
I got into tattooing at age 13. Me and a couple of friend made a homemade machine and then proceeded to tattoo each other.  It was thrilling and probably a little dangerous. I truly believe that's what pushed me down the path to become a tattoo artist. I gave myself m y second tattoo at age 17 with a machine my friend had. I truly believe these experiences motivated me to become a tattoo artist.  

What inspires you as an artist?
It'd be easier to say what doesn't inspire me to be an artist, honestly. I've been painting and drawing since I was 4 years old, so I've always known I wanted to be an artist. Inspiration comes from everyday life and experiences. Knowing each day is given to me to create something beautiful and amazing.  Watching the leaves fall or the river run can be inspiring.  Looking at my favorite artists work is inspiring. Watching my children grow and have new experiences is inspiring.  Anything can be inspiring if you let it...just too much to list.

What kind of tattoos do you look forward to doing?
Every tattoo!!! Isn't every tattoo special to the person receiving it?  Knowing that, makes me look forward to doing them all.  No matter how big or small - they all matter.  Every tattoo, every line: they are all as important as the last one and next one.

Is there a tattoo you haven't done yet that you are dying to do?
Man...so many! I have tons and tons of things I want to do that I haven't gotten to do yet.  Anyone that's willing to be a canvas and let me do some of my own choosing gets a discount.  I have a book in my booth with the designs and drawings I have come up with that haven't been done yet for people to pick from as well.  I'm dying to do them!
