A fitter and turner by trade, Warren also did landscaping for the Brisbane City Council, was a machine serviceman and a printer, just to name a few of the jobs he did before getting into tattooing. His first real introduction into the industry was when he started to get a lot of work from Pete Davidson. During these sessions he picked Pete’s brains, asked a lot of questions and payed a lot of attention to what he was doing. But still, he had to learn a lot of the hard yards by himself. When he did get his hands on a machine, Pete Davidson and Neil Rindflesch really helped him along. Then a couple of years later he opened his shop in ‘92. A lot more information was gathered from a host of artists whom he met at tattoo shows after joining the PTAA, of which he has held various positions such as secretary, treasurer and state rep from ‘94-00. During this period he also worked with the Health Department on the new regulations for the industry
