Ink Bar Tattoo

My name is Brad Dole and I'm a Ted O'Aris from Brisbane, Australia. I became a Ted O'Aris. It's not really something I planned to do. I sort of fell into it really. I do black and grey realism. I love to bust out full backs and full sleeves in a day, big pieces, anything realistic faces. I love it. It's easy to replicate a photo of someone's kid but capturing the expression on their face. I love doing that. That's the wow fact of it. Tattoos are definitely more of a body art now than an image people collect the art rather than hanging on their walls. Man, tattooing has changed my life massively from the people I've met to my outlook on the tattoo industry. It's really opened doors for me to see the world and meet cool people, different cultures. It's nothing I What I've created in my mind, I want to bring that to life, get it onto the skin. I love that feeling. Ink bar pretty much just came out of left field. We wanted to have an experience for artists to actually come to Salt Lake City, have kind of an exclusive fun experience tattooing here. So we decided that we'd tattoo out of local bars. It'something different. People can come chill. It's The expression on their face People who don't have tattoos, business people, they're interested in liking something they never I've been using Sanaderm for nearly two years. It's really changed the whole healing process of a tattoo. The healing time is halved almost. Doing a big piece over several days. I can wrap that tattoo, be healed in four days, and I can continue working on that tattoo rather than wait. It allows me to get a job done quicker. The upside of Sanaderm is the convenience part about it. It's a bandage that was made for burn victims and wound care. And a lot of people don't understand that a tattoo is an open wound. So when you apply the Sanaderm, you're able to just go ahead and leave it, let the body do its thing, let it heal itself while you can kind of go about your daily lifestyles. Nearly every day, a client will say, I'd love to be a tattoo artist. It'd be so cool. Start working 10 and finish at five. They don't realize the time and effort you put into that. If you want to better, you need to put the time in. I'm up till midnight designing after the kids are going to bed. I get up at four in the morning and I'm designed to eight o'clock. Kids go to school, I go to work, and I tattoo all day and I come home and I do that again every day. I don't feel I want to be the best that I can be, but will I ever be the best that I can be? I'm never going to be happy with the work that I do. I'm never satisfied, which helps me to get better. I guess that's what pushes me to better.
