Mission Statement
"We need to incorporate a transition of the history of tattooing, along with new innovation, but should not erase, or forget the past, because it is the foundation of who we are. You cannot leave the past and think that you will have a future or to think that even you will be remembered."
Dennis Dwyer
1976 America was celebrating independence! Leaving New York with a few friends we head west for our own independence and landed in Tucson Arizona. Inherited a shop on Forth Ave. I am a gypsy at heart chasing a dream.
Given an opportunity to work with and for Cliff Raven's Studio on Sunset Strip. Cliff was one of the top artist in the tattoo world. I learned so much from him, a master artist and a gentleman.
Move back to Tucson in 1980 and opened on Grant Road. The store is still an operating tattoo shop. I painted the tattoo on Big John Stud for the movie 'Marlboro man meets Harley Davidson man." I was the only shop in Tucson.

Mission Statement
Not all treasure is silver or gold. The rougher the seas, the smoother we sail. As a tattooist my job is to be a servant who will leave a mark on you that will change your soul.
