Hi darlins! This year (2011) marks my 27th year of tattooing. My first tattoo was a dragon on my husband Ronnies' thigh. It took 5 1/2 hours to outline and shade...... then 6 hours to color. That was 1982 in Aurora, Colorado. That same tatoo would take me 2 1/2-3 hours start to finish today. I have now been tattooing full time since 1984. So long ago.

I still love tattooing but, some of the public can be tedious and challenging.

I really enjoy renovations and cover ups. It is very rewarding to "fix" a problem for someone.

I have a new answer to the question of the toughest tattoo I've ever done.....It was todays (February 8, 2008) upside down portrait of Johnny Depp.....Don't need to do that anymore!

I have thousands of stories for that book I'll write someday and I'll be glad to share some of them. This however, is not a biography.....It is an update.

We've been here in Fairfield, California since May 1998. We opened for business on June 5,1998. I have no clue how much longer I will be working BUT, I still love it so why not? I can still see and I'm still a good tattoo artist.

One final footnote, I'm still a "tough old bird" but, I don't carry a gun anymore because I put my trust in the Lord God.

Much love and many blessings, Lin

Howaya!
My name is Chris "Bear" Dufault and I am the newest addition to the Alpha-Omega family and I am loving it!
I am a graduate of the Denver Institute of Technology and received my Associate in Applied Science with Graphic design. I have always loved art and tattoos, now I am living the dream of doing them. I specialize in everything from lettering to tribal to Asian to black and grey. Pretty much anything with shading, I love to do. So, come on in and feel free to talk to me about getting some ink done! I am always down to put smiles on faces (not in ink though).
Remember, "it hurts so good"
