Mike's first experience with body modification went bad when he learned the hard way that the tattoo "artist" working on him sucked... bad. Left with a patch of skin that looked more like cancer than the skull it was supposed to, Mike told the guy off, and upon vowing to do a better tattoo on himself, the guy replied, "Go ahead and try." With nothing but an idea as to how it was done, Mike got his hands on the equipment he needed and went to town. The end result was a first attempt at a tattoo that was better than anything the previous artist had ever done before.

At that point Mike realized that he had a genuine talent for the art. Having heard his calling he continued to advance his skill as a hobbyist for the next eight years.

Mike has been a professional tattoo artist since 1999 when the owner of a local shop gave Mike the opportunity to demonstrate his ability and after seeing the completed work invited him to start work the next day.
