and I always knew that Iwanted to tattoo. All I cansay is that I was fortunateto be tattooed by some re-ally great artists when Iwas younger, and that byhappenstance I met a tal-ented artist named ClayDecker. He provided mewith the insight, knowl-edge, and the inspiration,to journey down this path,to which I am forevergrateful. I own and operateFine Line Tattoo Missouri,which is part of a family ofshops along with ToddHlavaty, including fiveshops in the Dallas/Ft.Worth metro area, and an-other shop in Japan withGus Higo. I've been pub-lished in Karl Marc's Hand-made series of books. I'man original member of theTattoo Machine BuildersGuild, and an all aroundswell guy.Eden Draven:Iʼve been tattooing profes-sionally for over threeyears. Before that, I wastattooing grapefruits andtomatoes for a year as partof a formal apprenticeshipto get used to working onirregular and somewhattender surfaces. Many atomato was sacrificed inthis effort! Itʼs funny, oncea grapefruit has been tat-tooed; they turn hard as arock. Iʼve had some of my“earlier works” given awayas Christmas ornamentswhen friends found out Iwas just throwing themaway and asked to keepthem because they weretoo pretty to just throw out.(Ask to see my grapefruitSeahorse as an example.)I like tattooing the tradi-tionally more “Girly” tat-toos; butterflies, flowers,leafy stuff. I find that floraltype designs give me a lit-tle more license to fit aspecific area of the body ortie it in to other designsand can be very individual-ized for the person gettingthe tattoo. On the otherside of the spectrum, I alsoenjoy drawing up stippled,worn out teddy bears beingheld by zombie childrensurrounded by stone mark-ers. Or even silly batshanging upside-down leer-ing at the viewer. So really,I just like tattooing some-thing I can get into just alittle bit.So book your ticket toBranson ASAP, not tocheck out the latest magi-cian, tribute band orBroadway show, but to getinked at RIGGSʼ MONSTERTATTOO!The shop is located at:1615 State Hwy. 76, Suite FBranson, MO 65616417 544 0003www.myspace.com/rig-gsmonstertattoo
