Mike is a professional tattoo artist & illustrator of over 15 years. The recipient of a multitude of awards, features & accolades, Mike has carved out a sizable niche in his industry. As Prick magazine puts it: "Just like every kid who picks up a guitar needs to know Jimi Hendrix, every tattoo artist needs to know Mike Parsons."
A bumper sticker tacked onto a filing cabinet discretely tucked away in Mike Parson’s office reads, “Tattoos: Not just for sailors anymore.” Actually, the bumper sticker included another segment of the population as well, but for the pages of this newspaper, we’ll just describe them as “women of ill-repute.” Regardless, it speaks the truth. The American Academy of Dermatology estimates that more than 40 million Americans are now sporting tattoos. Getting inked has gone mainstream.
