In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it. (Ernst Fischer)

 

        I make art so that it might show others the world as a  malleable substance that is completely reproducible. this decision can not be a wish or a want, but must be a serious decision and ever yet a  devoted practice. If one could create something from the various materials of nothing, why could one not do the same with his own life? 

 

       My name is Justin: Oriani and I have now been tattooing for 4 solid years on top of being a proficient artist at a very early age. my interest in tattooing was sparked by my fathers tattoos and watching him get them, from then on I just knew it was what I wanted to do. At 16 I began to draw tattoos and studying other artists work. after two years of various apprenticeships I began tattooing at age 18 professionally in Albany, NY. I moved on to Yonkers, and NYC where I tattooed for about a year and a half. I then eventually made it out to Tucson, AZ and began working for the ENCHANTED DRAGON full time  in march or 2010. You can find me inserting pigment into skin most any day at the Broadway and Plumer location.
