Don has been Tattooing for 20 years now, It's been a long interesting ride.
He speciallizes in Cover-Up Tattoos, and really enjoys doing them....... He does things with a cover-up that most artist's won't try. Don and his friend Chip Beam from Artifex Tattoo host the Pen-NY Body Arts Festival Held in April at the Owego Treadway Inn.
Ok, so this is me...I am finally a retired Registered Nurse/Paramedic with a passion for art. I feel very fortunate to have met Don who was willing to give me an apprenticeship, as well as my good friend Tim who has "donated" himself for me to practice on. I had thought that my first tattoo would be a simple butterfly or lady bug, but Don had other ideas, like the huge Oriental Piece that I am doing on Tim's leg. Don's idea is that a huge piece like I am doing now will teach me all the aspects required to do a proper tattoo. I have a very supportive network of family and friends especially my two children, Jessica and Jason.

Me an My Gypsy Jeans
I recently won a design contest from the Gypsy Jeans Company in January 2004. These Jeans are awesome. The legs zip off to create a new look by combining legs from other Gypsy Jeans. I submitted another design and am in the process of submitting another...Wish Me LUCK!....for information on Gypsy Jeans, visit their website at: www.gypsyjeans.com!
Kirk Goodman- Has joined us here at the studio and brings a wealth of knowledge on Body Piercing and jewelry and a light sense humor to add to the atmosphere. He is also Dons best friend and they have a tendency to feed off one anothers one liner's lol, All in All it makes for a very enjoyable time during what might be a stressful situation
