EDGE:
You started your career as a tattoo artist. How did that happen?
Timmy Sneaks:
I had always been into tattoos, way before I was even old enough to get them. When I was in middle school I would draw tattoos for friends or draw pieces on family members. It was right around the time the show "Miami Ink" was just coming out which allowed me to see more of the tattoo process from the standpoint of a shop.
EDGE:
How does ink influence your art?
Timmy Sneaks:
A lot of the time I'll use similar imagery in my art that I would look to use in tattooing. Actually, in many ways I use a similar process from collecting inspiration, to drawing up a layout for the piece and being able to use a steady hand to pull long lines.
EDGE:
Why call it, "Love Me, Love Me Not?"
Timmy Sneaks:
I think that mostly just comes from this idea of "this is me and my work" you can love it, or not. Either way is okay but at the end of the day I'm getting to do what I love to do and that's what matters to me.
