Tommy DycusTattooing began for me in 1997, when I was 29 years old. I had been getting tattooed since I was 17 and it has always been fascinating to me. The ink on my skin was like a badge of honor that I wore so proudly. After years working as a land surveyor,, boat builder and airbrush artist, I finally got my foot in the tattoo door in 1997 at the Freak Shoppe in Orlando, where I learned how to make body jewelry, pierce and finally tattoo. Since then, my new profession has lent employment at Strongarm 47 in Orlando, Old Town Tattoos in Kissimmee, Big Stick in Ft.Myers and Paradise Tattoo in Key West. I love what I do, the places it takes me and the people I meet through tattooing. I wouldn't trade this job and the life it gives me for anything. for this I am grateful...I hope you enjoy my work.
