The
right place at the right time.
Phoenix ,Az. 1979 : I meet Jim Watson ,co-owner of Peter Tat-2
Studio. He is looking for a female apprentice,places and ad in
the paper and I happen to walk in . Not knowing there’s an
ad in the paper,of course. I begin my apprenticship here for the
next year(s). Jim is the artist that completes my backpiece in
1979.
We
attend the National Tattoo Convention in Houston ,Texas that year.
I recieve first runner up for Best Tattooed Female. Way to go
Jim,it was his first backpiece too!
Spider
Webb “extreme photographer”, photos me at that Convention
,photo appears in his book “Pushing Ink”. It was one
of the more current books on tattooing at that time.Although carried
by major bookstores,it was not allowed to be displayed on shelves.
Also at that same convention Bill Tinney, from Easyriders magazine
gets a few photos. The photos appear in Easyrider mag that following
June.This kiddies ,pre-empts “Tattoo” Magazine,which
totally spawned a host of other Tattoo publications!
So
that’s how I got started.
