I grew up on punk rock and skateboarding, and I still hold many of those beliefs close to my heart. I apply the D.I.Y. ethic to much of what I do. My mom grew up on a farm in upstate New York and instilled me with her family's work ethic. My dad taught me the business end of honor and being straightforward. Eat some 'humble pie' on a regular basis and learn something new everyday, are words I try to live by.
I started taking art classes at the age of 12 and still practice my drawing and painting everyday. In 1997 I graduated from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. On graduation, my dad said I should become a tattoo artist. Funnily enough, 13 years later I finally am. After graduation I thought it would be good to become a graphic designer, and I spent the next ten plus years busting my butt at it only to realize I loved something else. Tattooing! A few years ago I started getting tattooed on a regular basis and it lit a fire in me. Suddenly I knew what I wanted to do. Since that day I've spent most of my time following that dream. Thank you very much for your time. - Andy Links: http://www.facebook.com/iamandyjohnson http://iamandyjohnson.com | Recent Tattoos
