Born in Riverside, California on December 24, 19--, the 5th child of 7 boys. We moved to the San Fernando Valley when I was 11.
In 1993 I completed an EMT course, (Emergency Medical Technician) although I never pursued the career. In 1994, we moved to Simi Valley, Ca. At this time I worked for a biotechnology company performing background checks on employees and temps. I decided to go back to school again in 1998 and completed a course in phlebotomy. I got into body piercing from my older brother who is a tattoo artist, he’s opened several shops in the San Fernando Valley and I apprenticed under him from 1998-1999. I began piercing and managing, full time from 1999 until 2001 at Painful Pleasures Tattoo. In May of 2001 I attended an intense 5-day seminar in Windsor, Canada where I received a certificate in piercing/health and safety from Gotham, and a Blood Borne Pathogens certificate from the L.A. County Health Department. In 2002, while surfing the internet, I read that Prix Body Piercing was looking for a body piercer. I decided to give them a call, and I spoke with management. I went in to meet them and they haven’t been able to get rid of me since. You can find me working at PRIX Body Piercing location, on Sunset in West Hollywood.
2009/11/02 20:36 Saturday we went out and trick or treated for some candy and we got a ton full. The kiddies has a sleep over and they had a blast.
Sunday we went to see Michael Jackson's This Is It and Paranormal Activity, they were both good but i could have waited for the dvd to come out too. Later in the day we BBQ'd at the house had some friends and fam's come over i made home made mexican rice and boiled beans carne asada, short ribs, grilled vegetables and bacon wrapped shrimp.
Work has been slow all i have done so far is a Triangle piercing and i got a call that a navel piercing will be here soon i hope so.
Nothing else to report.
Peace
