I've been living in Austin, TX for the last 4 years or so. I'm a body modification artist, owner, and manager of Shaman Modifications Tattoo and Body Piercing at 209 E. Ben White Blvd, Suite 100A. I love my job. Stop in sometime and say hi! I love visitors.
More about my passion: I love body modification and the history of body mod. My life is dedicated in showing that just because someone has heavy modification doesn't mean they are less of a person or should be looked down upon in society's eyes. This is how I've been treated my whole life, and no one should have to go through what I've been through. I'm a great person, and because of my modifications, half of the world won't even give me a chance to show them a side of me they wouldn't believe existed in this body.
I'm very understanding, and I'm a punk rocker to the marrow. I got more heart than the world can ever grasp.
Check me out!

2009/11/13 19:57 I've been finding myself still dealing with change... change is good its how we evolve... none the less its change. I can't believe its been a month since I've posted on here. In 4 hours I turn 28... I got a letter in the mail today from my father who I haven't spoken to in over a year. Nothing personl, just a birthday card with $50 in it. I kind of want to just write return to sender, but might not. I also don't want to keep it and try to make it a way for him to contact me. I wish he would just leave me alone, but he does want to see his grandson. Ahhh... good times. I'm going to take a moment and ponder. Happy birthday to me.
2009/10/12 16:11 I'm back on track with my Terror Tuesday Schedule. Cory and I are hitting it up tomorrow, hopefully Cyn will make it out there with us, but haven't heard. Torso is playing which is one of my favorite Euro Slasher movies. I'm stoked!
2009/10/08 13:40 Well, I had 1 day off and now back to work for another 6 days before I get another one off. Oh well, we can always use the money... Terror Tuesday was AWESOME! I haven't seen the Blob in almost 10 years and was super satisfying! Can't wait for next weeks showing of Torso which is always a pleaser.
Not a whole lot going on this week but hopefully it picks up. I'm doing $10 piercings today for all my online friends so come in and get something done, but must mention the special to get it at that price (jewelry not included).
2009/09/25 08:54 So I'm back in ATX I'll post pics of our little vacation which was awesome. Back to business... BOO! I did miss piercing people though. Today will be good.
2009/09/21 06:12 Pretty excited. Vacation is awesome. I also scored tickets to see a pre-release showing of Survival of the Dead, the new George Romero movie that hasn't premiered yet. Its part of Fantastic Fest, and George is going to be there live in person for a little intro to the film and a Q & A after the film. I wanted to go but had no one to go with, so I bought Cory a ticket for his Birthday and he's going to go with me! Its gonna be MURDER!
I was super bummed cause I have to work on Friday, and on Friday they are showing a pre-release showing of Zombieland with Woody live in person doing the same thing... That would have been DOPE! I guess I just have to wait til the 2nd for the showing.
2009/09/15 15:03 Shaman Modifications has an opening for an established artist with a good client base. Shaman has been established for two years and pride ourselves as a custom tattoo studio with an outstanding record in customer service. You can see our reviews on both google and yelp. We are a high end studio and we are looking for an artist with a good client base as we are off the beaten path and do not get a lot of walk in traffic; not to say walk-ins do not occur, just not often enough to rely on completely. Some of the qualities we are looking for in our artist are: nice portfolio that portrays their work accurately, clean and sterile work habits (disposables are a plus), good and solid client base, reliable, clean hygiene, and able to work with other tattoo artists.
If this interest you we would love to hear from you and take a look at your portfolio. The position is available immediately. Please contact Justin Vickers at Shaman Modifications (512-373-8648) or on his cell at 512-658-7100. Feel free to visit our website and learn a little more about us at www.shamanmodifications.com
if you know of anyone who might be interested in a job please forward this post to them. I appreciate all your help and support!
2009/09/09 19:48 Well, I'm on another long stint before a day off, but the good news is that my next day off I will be off for a week! I'm stoked, unfortunately it won't be til the 18th... but I'm still looking forward to it. I'll be working through the weekend into next week so come and see me. One of my pieces was modblogged today and has some FUNNY comments on it.
