My favorite thing about piercing others is seeing their reactions and witnessing the confidence boost that comes with a new piercing.

Being a tattoo artist has been my dream since about 8th grade, and I’ve always loved the idea of putting my art on people forever.

I am a Body Art Technician (that’s a fancy way of saying I am a tattoo artist & a body piercer). I have been in the industry for roughly 15 years.

Growing up in an environment like a tattoo shop was definitely unique, but it fueled my love for art and working with people.

After many years of mastering my mediums, I began working with what I considered the “forbidden medium.” My favorite forms are stipple shading and geometrical linework.

One of my favorite parts of my career is seeing my clients’ reactions to their new piercing(s). I love how piercings can transform

I go by Sparx, I have been an artist at Mind Altering Tattoos for going on 15 years. I can do just about anything, I specialize in Black and white realism.

Tattooing has been an eye-opening experience, I’ve been able to express myself and my art in so many ways.

I’ve been fascinated with the power of a tattoo and what it gives to someone. I find inspiration in various styles from our shop to the crazy Instagram artwork online.
