Aaron Bell “This sure beats working!”
Beginnings
Aaron started tattooing in the early 80’s. It was not his main source of income at the time and he struggled throughout the years to enlighten myself about the evasive, secretive world of tattooing. Aaron’s “professional” tattoo career started in the fall of ’93 in Seattle, finally in ‘94 I got my big break and received an apprenticeship. Once he obtained that ’secret’ knowledge from his boss and co-workers, he traded in his old addictions for a new one, tattooing. As of fall 2007 he has received over 100 awards. “I have many influences and mentors in the business, including the incredibly talented group of artists at Slave to the Needle (which I own and operate). I am learning from each and every one of them daily and it’s great to be immersed in such a creative environment. I am very happy about what I do. Thanks to all who’ve inspired me and to all of you for the trust and for keeping it interesting for me. As I like to say, “This sure beats working!”"
