Tattoos by Myke

I’m Myke, yes, I spell it with a “y” . I was Born in Omaha Nebraska in 1982, raised in Italy then moved back to California at the age of 15. I'm now 24, and I work at Wild Bill's. It is the best job that I could ever ask for. I am a graduate of the Academy Of Art University of San Francisco, with a BFA in Illustration. I love Art (and in art I also include Tattooing. Yes it's art). Other than tattooing, other mediums I predominately use are Charcoal, Watercolor, pen and ink, acrylics, oils, pastels, digital, colored pencils, silk screening, markers; but I usually try not to limit myself with what I use. As long as it leaves a mark I'll probably use it sooner or later. Some of My favorite artists are: Harley Haslem (who I apprenticed under) Paul Booth, Cool Aid, Howard Pyle, N C Wyeth, Guy Aitchinson, N C Lynedecker, Ashley Woods, Rembrandt, Peter Paul Reubens, Albrecht Durer (mostly just his engravings), and many more (you can just ask me if you want me to name more names). Other hobbies of mine are: drawing, Computer building, video games, light hacking/modding, and reading graphic novels with the occasional book thrown in there. I'll tattoo anything really, but my preferences tend to be realistic images and characters, black and gray, anything dark and creepy, as well as flowery stuff. If you want to get a tattoo, seriously think about what you want; it's gonna be stuck there forever (unless you decide to peel off and send it to an ex-girlfriend/boyfriend later, but I wouldn't recommend that). Think really hard about it and do some research on the subject that you want. You want something that can stand the test of time. Something you will be happy with twenty years from now.
