My very first tattoo design
I got my first tattoo around 2004. I decided to get some body art done a few years before that but I only wanted artwork of my own on my body. This first piece took years to design and to decide upon. I was inspired by the nomadic lifestyle I have, henna artwork a lovely Indian woman betstowed upon me while soul searching in Germany and finally love...
This tattoo was done by a guy name Joe at Sacred Heart Tattoo in Lil 5 in Atlanta, GA. He is no longer with the shop but I still stop in from time to time to get some work done. I am looking for a budding tattoo artist to work with as I begin my tattoo design endeavors.

I remember the endless notebooks of drawings, the pictures taped to my bedroom wall, I remember it all. It made me so happy and took me to another place just as if I was reading a book. I was in love and his name was Art. ;-)
Thank you so much for taking the time to follow my progression and read my tales of art-ploration.
The first piece which I used in the background of this lovely blogspot....is one of my favorite pieces that I have done. I knew it was special before I even picked up the pencil.
I was 16 years old at the time. I remember working on this sketch in study hall in high school. For those who don't know who Dallas Austin is -I shall explain. Way back in the day when I was a little artist in training, I was really into this group called Another Bad Creation (ABC). Dallas Austin was the record producer/songwriter behind this group at the time and then I remember him being heavily associated with TLC, another favorite group of mine. I saw this photo in a magazine and I thought, "That would be a hot drawing" and so I drew....
