    Hello, my name is Billster, I’m an apprentice for “Tattooman” Mike Miller at Devine Line Tattoo and piercing in Warrenton, Va. I’m a 50 year old graphic artist. I got stage 2c melonoma skin cancer in 2006, they gave me a 60% survival rate. After going through 12 months of cancer treatments I decided if I was going to spend the rest of my days doing something, it would be something I love…TATTOOS! I’ve learned SO much in the last 10 months and cant thank Mike Miller enough!!!
