Show me your story
Share with me your life art
Let me see your life experience
Invite me to seeing the expression of your life

When we “tell” our story, we bring our voices out – but when I can see your story it brings out your story in a visual explosion of a deep reality. Being a visual person, seeing your story tells me so much about you:

it tells me that you desire others to see, and experience, your life.
It tells me you are able to share with art, and voice when asked, all the highlights of your life.
It tells me you are wearing your life, and accepting all that life has to offer – good, and bad.
It tells me you are not hiding from life issues, but rather you are embracing them.
It tells me you are here, and you have value.

You see, I don’t see tattoos as just meaningless marks, I see each tattoo as a chapter in your life – as an expression of who you are. For those of us who are willing to show our story – we get that, we understand the nature of our visual story. No matter how simple, no matter how complicated, Show Me Your Story.
