My name is Loki Shane DeFriece, and I’m a tattoo artist at, (and the manager of), Sacred Heart Tattoo in Atlanta, a co-worker and good friend of Eddy Arg, and I’ve heard a lot about your group from Eddy since his entry. I’m glad to hear that you like my work and pleased at the prospect of joining the fun.
I’m a cartoon addict who grew up in the 80’s and 90’s. Raised on Star Wars, GI Joe, Transformers and Marvel comics, my appreciation for animation matured and transgressed into the realms of pop and sub-pop cultures, dark humor, and abstract thought. As my children have grown up, my love for cartoons has become a family affair and, even as they enter adulthood, has kept me up to date with all the new stuff that comes out.
I started tattooing in 1998, and I’ve always found ways to incorporate my cartoon, comic book, and animation influences into my tattoo artwork . I am sought after for this type of work, as well as for my watercolor and abstract designs. I pride myself on my down-to-earth, non-rockstar attitude, which I know is a key element of both your conventions and your group as a whole. I love the idea that the focus is to nerd out and have fun – that’s what it should be about! – and I’m excited to be a part of this experience.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Loki Shane DeFriece
