Beside all of this I attend Phoenix Seminary.
Gina Dwyer
Gina Dwyer has been doing cosmetic tattooing since 1987, offering eyeliner tattooing, and eyebrows. She has a masters in medicine and talented graphic artist. Cosmetic tattooing offers the freedom to always look your best, never worrying about makeup smearing or those moments when you are running late.
I’m 24 years old and I’ve been tattooing for the past 5 years. I’ve always loved art for as long as I can remember. I love what I do, and am very blessed to do it. I paint and draw any chance I get and continue to push myself creatively.
Facebook/Manny Torres: The early 90's was the beginning of a hard road for me through the prison system and for 15 years I spent my life away from my family and daughter. My lil one was the light at the end of the tunnel for me and 2010 began a new beginning for the two of us. During my time away for my family I found tattooing was my escape and passion. But, now I have been blessed to live each day with my daughter. I am privilaged to work with some of the greatest artists in the industry with the desire to aspire to be the best I can. Tattooing is still my escape to a dream that I actually get to live now. Thank God we are given the chance to shed the old and live in the new.
Ancient Art Tattoo History: In the early eighties, my good friend J. D. Crowe founded Ancient Art Tattoo in Virginia Beach, Virginia and we formed a co-op of artists under the same name with the purpose of promoting safe tattooing. I started tattooing in 1971 and opened my first tattoo studio in Tucson, AZ in 1976. During the nineties J. D. Crowe and I toured America, hosting 14 tattoo conventions known as “the Tattoo Tour.” We became the "Memory Makers" of that decade, bringing artists from across the country to share in what we dubbed the ‘art of giving’.
Precision Tattoo Supply came about in 1988 when I designed two tattoo machines "The Nail" and "Mad Max". My wife Gina began making her own inks from scratch and we use these quality pigments in all our tattoos. We continue to produce safe, quality ink, and offer reliable tattooing products including disposable tubes, needles of varying size, tattoo guns, tattoo kits and other tattooing accessories. Again, our concern is that you will be able to get the most out of your tattoo experience.
There is a link to safe tattoo advice that will answer your questions about what to look for in getting a safe tattoo.

I am proud to be an American and believe in the Constitution. I have created a page for those who want to know more about what it means to be free. What is liberty and what does it cost?
“Old School” is the foundation, the roots of what we do and becomes a lifestyle entirely based upon respect for what people do in life. Dennis E. Dwyer 6/10/2011
