Lizzie Johnson (Acid Lich)
If you've come to the shop since 2017, you may know me as the one who answers the phones or the one who is always bringing in the good smelling Thai food. But that's not all I do. When I was 19 years old I almost apprenticed to tattoo back in my home state of Maine. Life though needed to take me to a few other places first . I've worked in restaurants, was a landscaper/gardener, tutored both mathematics and chemistry, operated an SEM, lived in Thailand and done cover art for both albums and table top role playing games. And I just very recently started to tattoo. If that seems like a lot, it's because it is a lot. Any gardener though will tell you that the best soils for propagating new plants in contain a diverse array of nutrients. While my path back to art & to apprenticing to tattoo may have meandered, I now bring with me a diverse set of skills, diligence, a hard working attitude and a commitment to helping my clients (be they here for illustration or for something more permanent) realize their vision. I'm very happy to work in a variety of styles and subject matters but I do have a lot of soft spots. I'll never get tired of drawing flowers or nature or fantasy motifs. I know I have a long road ahead of me towards mastering this new skill and I hope you'll consider joining me on this journey. And hey, if you ask nicely I may even be able to help you with your Calc 3 homework or understanding AD&D's THAC0 system or getting that appointment with Tim. |
