- About Me
Hi there! :)
My name is Stacey Sharp.
I work at
Ink Alternative in Ronkonkoma NY. I've been there since May of 2000.
I started tattooing in 1992 at the age of 20.
Never pictured myself tattooing, but life leads us in all sorts of crazy directions.
I am, primarily, a fantasy artist. I like the freedom to be able to create without boundaries or limitation of logic. I always liked the idea of tattoos but my interest really peaked around 1990 or so. I received my first at the very tail end of '91 and by February of '92 I was on my way to becoming a tattoo artist. :) Its been a rocky road and I've been very fortunate to have come as far as I have...
Yes, fantasy art is my first love, but I enjoy working on many different subjects including nature and wildlife. :) I have fun with my work and am constantly working to improve my art. I tend to be my own worst critic, but I believe that keeps me moving forward creatively. :)

I enjoy creativity- drawing and painting... and tattooing. :)

Art, especially fantasy art.
Bellydancing and just plain dancing in general.
Fantasy creatures such as Faeries, Dragons and Unicorns.
I like to play and have fun.
I like swimming and water in general. I am a water spirit.
I like magic, mysticism and myth.
Music helps to propel my imagination.
I am a spiritual being.
I dream whenever I can. ;)

- Magazines & Newspapers
Any tattoo magazines... art based periodicals... I've always been a fan of Heavy Metal (the art magazine)...

Fine with me. :)

My all time favorite performance artists would have to be the Mumenschantz. :D
- Who I want to meet

People who want tattoos... so I can build more of a life. ;)
- Interested in
Friends, Networking, Promotions, Just looking around

Being in nature... surrounded by quiet and far from people.

- Pet Peeves
Snoring.
- Places I'd like to go
I've always wanted to see Scotland, Australia, England, Japan, Hawaii and I've always felt this odd pull towards Machu Picchu...
- I'd rather be
Dreaming. No, seriously.
If you dreamt like I do, you'd understand.
- Sports
No sports. Maybe hockey.
I do like rodeo and horse racing... dog sledding...
- Music
Lots. :)
I listen to a fairly wide range of music. It'd probably be easier to ask what I don't listen to... even then it all comes down to how it sounds. :)
- Movies
As far as movies go, I love anything fantasy, medieval or renaissance based... with warriors, magic, beasts, maidens, faeries, horses, wizards, dragons and whatnot. I like action, I like drama and I like animation. Even horror flicks and sometimes some gore too. :)
- TV
"Television is the first truly democratic culture - the first culture available to everybody and entirely governed by what the people want. the most terrifying thing is what people do want."
-Clive Alexander Barnes
I don't really watch television... seriously. I never have the time.
When I do, it's usually late at night and I'll tune in to things like Animal Planet, Discovery, Sci-fi and other things like that while I plug away on the computer. :)
I do watch a lot of DVD's though... and listen to them if I'm working. ;)
I'm a big fan of LOST, Heroes and also of Farscape. :)
- Games
The Neverhood
Myst
Riven
Myst III: Exile
Shit where I don't die.
Dying when you're not really sick is really sick, ya know? Really!
- Brands
Nope. Burning flesh smells funky. I like tattoos. :)
