Stacey started tattooing in February of 1992. She joined us here at Ink Alternative in May of 2000.

She was looking for something productive to do with her art but being a free spirit, didn't want to go into a (boring) commercial art field. The opportunity presented itself through a friend and she just went with the flow. She had what most would consider a rocky beginning and feels very lucky and priveleged to have gotten as far as she has.

Stacey's favorite subjects to work with are fantasy, faeries and freeflowing art... larger pieces that compliment the body and soul. Art with feeling and meaning is more likely to inspire her. She prefers to work with color but is willing to admit that some pieces may look better in black and grey. Her personal art style tends to be elegant, wavy, swirly and fun. Stacey enjoys doing custom work but is capable of working with almost any reference material a client may provide. She also finds covering and/or refurbishing old work to be a challenge...

She thrives on freedom of expression and is able to capture most ideas and concepts easily. Her least favorite things to work with are designs without flow or depth (of meaning as well as sight)... She also concentrates her energy more on fantasy art designs, intricate and flowing, rather than rigid objects such as bio-mechanical and technical drawings. She dislikes doing the same thing over and over.

Stacey works well with clients who keep an open mind... those who have faith in her abilities and those who don't stifle her creativity. (As well as those who don't mind giving up a body part or two...)
