49 Years Ago Today My Destiny Was Established When I Walked Into Grimm's Tattoo Parlor In Kansas City, Missouri. What A Long, Strange Journey It Has Been. Many Have Joined Me On That Journey But None Were More Important Than My Beautiful Raychel Whose Absence and Inspiration Is Felt By Me Every Day.
As I Move Towards The 50-Year Mark I Want To Say Thank You To All That Have Joined Me In My Journey. Each And Every One Of You Made It Possible For Me To Do What I Love and Love What I Do. You All Have Given Me A Lifetime Of Memories That I Will Cherish Forever,

Due to the recent passing of my wife Raychel, and other circumstances beyond my control, I will Temporarily close the studio as I Relocate. The expected reopening date is October 1, 2024. Please take a look at this space for more information and updates.
I value each of you as friends and clients and want you to know that this is not the end, just a new beginning in a career full of new beginnings.
May God Bless all of you.

I just returned from the Funeral Home. I have Raychel's death certificates but I do not have Raychel. I left her cremains behind so that her urn can be placed inside the cremation vault I just ordered for her.

The vault is stone gray with handles (see pic). On Top is a Brass Plaque that will say:

Raychel Ruth George
July 28, 1980 - July 22, 2024
MaD HaTteR

It also includes a brass medallion (see picture). The vault is big enough for Raychel's cremains and to add a few items that meant a lot to her that she can take to the other side. It will also hold a photo of my beautiful woman as well as a laminated copy of her obituary and death certificate.

I want to thank April Shields, Frog and Mary Lou May, Constance Ogle Hall, and Jerri and Dale Parnell whose generous gifts for Raychel made this possible.
I also wish to thank everyone that so far has unselfishly given to the GoFundMe that my wonderful Granddaughter Andrea Compton set up to help me meet Raychel's final expenses. Your generous donations will cover Raychel's graveside services as well as acting as a starting point to raise the money for her monument.

YOU ARE ALL WONDERFUL PEOPLE! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE AND OUR DOING FOR MY RAYCHEL. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

Here Is Raychel's Obituary. Please leave a memory of her in the guestbook. Thank you.

I HAVE A HUGE FAVOR TO ASK:
If Raychel ever did a drawing for you will you please do a high resolution scan of it and text the image to me? Also, if you have any photos of Raychel will you please do the same and send me a high resolution copy? Thank you. I am working to put together a Celebration of Life for her. Your help in this will be appreciated.

Apparently, META'S AI has determined if you do such horrendous things like post your website to your art that you are using to promote your studio and website or if you (heaven forbid), hashtag your artwork it is SPAM. You are, "TRYING TO GET LIKES IN A DECEITFUL MANNER".
Even though INSTAGRAM is owned by META at least you can post photos without its AI claiming its SPAM. I am thinking about spending more time on Instagram and less time on FAKEbook.

Our Only Limitation Is Your Imagination

ARTIST ALLEY STUDIO & GALLERY: Tattoo, Piercing, Portrait Art and More (Formerly Skin Art Creations Tattoo Emporium), features the art of International Award Winning Artist J.A. George AKA; The GYPSY and Nationally Known Award Winning Portrait Artist Raychel “Mad Hatter” Smith.

The GYPSY is the most experienced licensed Tattoo & Piercing Artist in Kansas. A Formally Trained Tattoo Artist The GYPSY has been Tattooing Since 1976. The GYPSY is also the only Body Piercer in Kansas to have gone to school to learn how to Pierce. He has been piercing professionally since 1990. In 2008 The GYPSY became one of only a few worldwide to have passed the Alliance of Professional Tattooist Tattoo Mastery Test. He was also appointed by Kansas Governor Mark Parkinson to the Kansas Board of Cosmetology where he served as the Representative for Kansas Body Artists from 2009 to 2010. The GYPSY’s philosophy has always been; “You can give someone the greatest Body Art in the world but when you forget that it is about them and not about you the art becomes something less than great.”

Mad Hatter is a hyper realistic portrait artist. She specializes in memorials. Mad Hatter often does charitable art. She also believes by keeping her prices reasonable it makes art available to everyone keeping on the forefront and available for generations. She often says, “I love giving someone an image of someone lost as if it was an extra moment they could never have.” Her Artistic Portrait Creations flow onto paper from pencil, pen, charcoal and crayon. When it comes to Portrait Art the Mad Hatter is unsurpassed.
