Hi Everyone,
Thanks for visiting my piercing gallery. I have been piercing professionally since 1992 and was trained by Master Body Piercer Mike Natali aka Mr. Bravo (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) I owned and operated Royal Oak Tattoo in R.O. (Detroit), Michigan 1992-2002 and Happy Valley Tattoo in Pleasant Grove, Utah 2002 - present. I really enjoy piercing and have the greatest clients. I trained Joe Spike to replace me when I left Detroit and Red Grant and Shandi Child to replace me in Utah while I go back to open another Detroit studio (opening spring 2007)
I also tattoo (since 1990), although I have taken a break from that the last couple years. I think I am going to be tattooing again when I go back to Michigan as well as piercing full time and taking another apprentice or two to work there as I will be traveling back and forth from Detroit to PG.
I hope you will all come in to visit when you are in the area. My piercers have all undergone extensive and intensive training and have all the skills that I learned from Michael. I believe I received superior training compared to most piercers (who are generally taught in the "Gauntlet" style and I am grateful to be able to pass that on to new young piercers who train under me. I think that my background in anatomy and physiology and my dedication to "precision" have been a great asset to my work and given me and my clients a real advantage regarding the quality of their piercings and resolution of healing issues. I have made sure that my recent apprentices have also had medical training to continue that benefit. Shandi is a Certified Medical Assistant (who I stole from a midwife clinic) and Red was cross-trained as a Battle-Field Medic. I keep a regular BLOG that you can access from my website. I also am pursuing a music career that was postponed while I raised my six kids which you can also find out about from my website. I am moving my tattoo pics to a tattoo gallery. You are invited to also visit there. (link to be posted)
Best Wishes to all my great clients and friends.
