First artist dedication: Ami James

Ok, so this first artist of note is the TV star and tattooing wonder of Ami James.

Born in Israel in 1972 Ami James was originally in the Israeli defense forces before moving to America after quitting. At the age of 20, Ami had discovered and was well into honing his new found tattooing qualities.

In leaving his family in Israel he has found a second family within his friends, along with his ever growing tattooing skills, within Miami and in his colleagues of the Miami Ink team.

Working alongside fellow tattooist Chris Nunez, Ami decided to open up Miami Ink (the shop, not the show) When he began seeing his immense affection towards the creation of artwork in which his clients would have with them forever more.

Ami James's artistic love does not simply end at tattooing - he has also designed phones for Motorola and also has his own metalwork bike shop called LoveHate Choppers.

Ami's love for motorcycles had spanned through his history until the day he had been involved in an accident which he was considered very lucky to escape from.

After several years after the incident, however, Ami was determined to get back on the bike and ride again. Starting his love with metalwork, he slowly comforted himself with motorcycles once more before purchasing and riding his own chopper as though he had forged a new sense of confidence with bikes.

Ami James has artistic experience of all perspectives; from tattooing, motorcycles, even designing mobile (cell) phones. Ami James is, in my opinion, the best artist possible to begin this new segment of my dedications.
