BIO

Hi my mame is William Shoop I am artist form San Clemente, California. I have been tattooing since I was a Child, I apprenticed under The Great Freddy Von Musser who gave me the gift of Tattooing a gift I carry with me everywhere, a Tradition I honor with my art, my words, and my actions. I am blessed to be doing a 23 year sentenced in State Prison for Robbery, Sales, Extortion, Assault with a Fire arm, and Gang Activity as I deserve much more then I received. I am living on borrowed time and use my Art and Words to carry message of truth, friendship, and strength. My Art is informed by the brutality of my circumstances, hardXcore and punk rock music, friendship, Traditional Japanese Culture, and Tattooing.

I am a sober Christ follower, a Girl Dad, HardxCore Kid, a Gang Drop out, a Friend, a Brother, a Son, and an employed Artist For Frontier Apparel. I use Ink, Watercolor, Acrylic, Micron, Sharpies, Arches Cold press and hard won pain and experience. I am extremely Grateful to those who lift me up and hold me down and even more Grateful for those who couldn’t be bothered, who walked away, who said I couldn’t do it, who doubted me. Let my rise and my grind and my success scream to the world:

“Hey look what God can do!”

Thank you for your time and interest if there’s any thing I can do for you please don’t be shy.
