"I have been tattooing now for 17 years. The love of tattoing has taken me across the country twice over, tattooing and drawing. I now reside in Michigan with my wife, Sarah, and daughter, Tori. I have semi-retired from tattooing and am currently pursuing other tattoo related opportunities."

"I Have always loved art since a small child, and was pretty good (I thought) until I met Rand Johnson from Cherry Creek. He and his lovely wife Kay took my family and I under their wings and refined my skills to what they are today, and for that, I am eternally grateful! I can't wait to see where the Cherry Creek family will take us in the future."

Gentleman Jim is one of the most creative and prolific artists the tattoo industry has produced. His mastery of art -- both on paper and on skin -- is very well-known and highly respected. As a flash artist, Jim's hot-selling designs and sets are legendary. As a tattooist, Jim's work is simply amazing -- his color work is impeccable, and his black & gray realisitc tattoos and portraits rival fine photography.

Cherry Creek is proud to represent this talented artist and friend.
