So yeah, my name's Rikki D. I'm a professional tattoo artist in Houston, TX. Currently, I'm working at a shop just south of Houston, called Smokin Tat2.
  I've been an artist all my life. I've always drawn, and sometimes when I get the urge, I'll paint.
  I've wanted to be a tattoo artist since I was like 13. When I was 19, my very good friend Clynt put a tattoo machine in my hand and said "go!" and I haven't stopped since. I owe such gratitude to Kieran Diedrich, Clynt Costly, Chris Gabehart, and Darin "Red" Clarke for doing all they could to help me. Also, a very special thanks to Sean Biggs, and Chase for all their help as well.
  My favorite things to tattoo and draw are super bright, bubbley, cartoony things. I love to find older tattoo designs and go off on redrawing them.
  In my spare time, you can find me drawing, coloring, designing graphics and websites, or checking out conspiracy theorys and UFO reports.
