To me, tattooing is the ultimate form of freelance illustration. It’s problem solving, research, technical skill, color theory and imagination at use every day. I love making people happy and I love that people come to me for what I do best. I have so much love for tattooing and illustration and all of the amazing people and places that’s it’s connected me to. 22 years and never a single day the same as the last is an absolute dream. - Stacey Martin Smith
