My name's Tom. I'm a full-time tattooer, single, no kids. Humboldt State University grad, 2008 (I like the place enough that I didn't want to leave!!!). I read a LOT, and listen to music as the soundtrack to my life. I paint every day, mostly in oil, but sometimes in watercolors. I do sculpture in ceramics and bronze(!!!).

I transferred as a Junior to Humboldt State University in July of 2004, and graduated in May of 2008 with a BA in both Studio Art (Painting/sculpture) and Art History, along with an Anthropology minor (Physical/Paleo focus), so I was pretty busy here at school until just recently. I take time to enjoy life, the people in it, and to go for a walk in the redwoods at least once a week.

Spent the last two years working in cast bronze as well, and I've decided that I love the end result as much as I do oil painting and tattooing. The bronze is wonderful to work with, but it's a dirty, time-consuming job

I LOVE Humboldt due to north coast wilderness close by, and the people actually seem to understand the concept of Peace. I lived up by Yosemite for most of the 90s. I am a practicing Pagan/Heathen, follow no dogma or doctrine, have a shamanic practice, and teach some meditation, guided meditation, and various aspects of spirituality practice. There's also an amazing percentage of the population here who are intelligent, spiritual, compassionate, environmentally aware AND conscientious (unlike the rest of the world I know where most of that is mere window-dressing for self-absorbed materialism). I don't ever want to leave.
