I had my first tattoo done by a friend in 1981 when I was thirteen years old. Sometime later I found out about Jimmy's tattoo studio and I went there. Initially they refused to tattoo me because of my young age. However, when they say that I already had tattoos, they agreed to tattoo me. I have four pieces by Pavlos (Jimmy's Tattoo). Afterwards, around 1994, I met with Tolle' (Eightball Tattoo) and we became friends. That was it! From that moment onwards, most of my tattoos are by Tolle'. Tattoo is the story of my life. Tattoo is my life.
