I keep thinking, "if it's such a good plan, why is Congress exempt?"

Mike You lucky stiff this tattoo artist is in Houston!-vbg- Johnny Jackson owns his own shop: Texas Body Art in Houston, Tex. Within 10 years of business, the shop was voted best Tattoo Studio in Houston in 2007 and won the U.S. Local Business Association Best of Local Business in Houston in October 2008. Jackson has been tattooing for 14 years, beginning at Houston's Shaw's Tattoo Parlor in 1992. It was at Shaw's where he learned the professional standards of tattooing, standards which he certainly applied when he opened his own shop. Not only does he have a nice, clean shop but his Web presence is also very impressive. Johnny Jackson's forte is portraits and photo realism. His work can be seen on his online gallery. Lil' Wayne, Tupac Shakur, Rerun, Mr. Jefferson, Marilyn Manson, Katt Williams, Aunt Jemima, Rob Zombie movie characters, Star Wars characters, Jimmie Walker and even some historical icons are among his many subjects. Tattoos on a Map - Directions to Texas Body Art More Action: - Tattoos Near You - Tattoo News - Hot Nightlife Near You His neo-traditional work is amazing and vibrant but he also crafts some fantastically gorey scenes. He also tattoos hands while many tattoo artists won't. Jackson's wife, Mizuz Inkaholik, has a cosmetic tattoo shop next door to his shop called Inkfaces. Cosmetic tattoos give people permanent lipstick, eyeliner and the like. You will never poke yourself in the eye again. With so much going on, you might think that Jackson wouldn't have time to add another shop -- but you'd be wrong. Jackson opened Artillery Tattoo Gallery and Museum, which he calls the "Tattoo Mansion" is located under the Meridian Music Venue. This location stands out as Houston's first rock 'n roll tattoo studio -- it combines the craft of tattooing with rock music and even provides a museum documenting the history of tattoos. Regular artists at Artillery include Jackson and his wife, Brandon Davis and guest artists who come to the gallery to work for a short time. In addition to traditional tattoos, Jackson is the only contracted artist in Houston to inflict Infinitink. This uses an ink that is easier to remove with a laser than other inks, in case you change your mind down the road. It's not a temporary tattoo, it is permanent yet with an easier removal method. 1 - 2 -
