Nintendo-Nut   Vancouver, BC. Canada   168 days till my birthday. Nintendo ruined my teens IAM: Joshua Keirstead IAM: Also known as Shwa/ Fish boy/ Jelly Fingers IAM: A tattoo artist at The Fall Tattooing IAM: Turning into a fish I currently tattoo at http://www.thefalltattooing.com In Vancouver BC. I've been involved in body modification since the early teens and always had in intense fascination with tattooing, ever since I was a little boy at my first tattoo convention in 1991... Wanting a Ghostbusters logo on my shoulder. I've had extensive tattoo work done on myself and stay active in the tattoo community learning new techniques and new ways to improve my art every day. My apprenticeship wasn't a typical one, I had a lot of artists helping me and a lot of people showing me what it took. With five artists training me from three different shops I received a lot of specialized knowledge and use it everyday to keep my work safe, clean, and ever changing. I’m a generally shy and geeky guy, but am really personable and love everyone in my life. I’m a colourful person and it shows in my style and in my artwork. 1) Visit from (non-iam)*193 (who lives in Zombieville) on 2/09@22:16, . 2) Visit from *filthy**5 (who lives in Vancouver) on 2/07@18:40, . 3) Visit from kevcon*4 (who lives in Philadelphia) on 2/07@11:05, via offsite link. 4) Visit from brionna.*5 (who lives in Vancouver) on 2/06@8:53, . 5) Visit from xSTILLEDGEx*2 (who lives in Stafford) on 2/06@2:30, . 6) Visit from Vladimina*3 (who lives in Kelowna) on 2/06@1:06, . 7) Visit from destroyer*2 (who lives in Syracuse) on 2/05@3:00, . 8) Visit from twitchard*2 (who lives in Carson) on 2/04@14:09, . 9) Visit from Rach_Rach*2 (who lives in Regina) on 2/03@16:08, . 4,467 Buddies Transformer Fun My favourite piercer qtpie Jen<3 Miss her!

Proper Update

2009/06/01 13:25 So it's been ages since there has been a proper update on here, life has been all over the place with the goods and bads. I recently started the next intensive round of kidney treatment, they have me on an immuno-supressive medication called cyclosporin. It smells like skunk anus and tastes about as awesome, slowly killing my immune system off anf turning me into a mask wearing hermit. I'm still working but my hours are going to drop and if there are any bad periods I'll be re-booking accordingly. Other then that life has been grand, the work I have been doing has been great, been enjoying the warmness and sun ( well hiding slightly out of it's effect cause I loves me tattoos ) and the animals are all fine and dandy. I'll have a large picture update soon, be sorting through all the latest work trying to get everything organized. IAM alive...sort of (4)
