HOW WE GOT STARTED
ON IT INDUSTRIES
THE COMPLETE HISTORY
GEORGE
HARTWIG has been "into"
tattoos for over 25 years, He started out as a very young kid with a needle
and a bottle of ink. by time he was 12, he had some 12 "ignorant" tattoos.
As an adult he wanted to cover up the stupid stuff he did as a kid. In
1987, at 18, a young married father of a newborn, there wasn't a whole lot
of money for cover-up tats or even a starter kit. So he
built a
machine, out of ingenuity. He actually built many. He did not do it in
jail, or from jailhouse plans. But from extensive research in the local
llibraries (before the internet) and a good working knowledge of science
and mechanics..
In 1995, his wife, Denise started an internet business and developed websites
--- long before AOL "hit it big". She started
Everything Jersey and
with a table at a local flea market, she was in business.
A year later and 10 years after George built and used his precision
U-Build
Machine, there was enough money for his wife and son, Denise and Christopher,
to give George the
Professional
Tattoo Starter Kit and a bunch of other professional supplies as
a birthday present. By now it was a passion. He re-covered and even embellished
more of the old stuff and added even more . Everywhere he could reach.
George still gets alot of attention when we go out. And like so many other
"tattooed" people he is often percieved to have served in jail and run with
a biker gang and to be raising hell.
George is a strong believer in the Grace of God and quick to be thankful
to Jesus in Daily Prayer with his family for even the smallest of God's goodness
and blessings.
George never opened a tattoo shop. He has only tattooed himself, his brother
in law, his sister in law and some friends of the family.
However, George is expertly informed, self-educated and experienced in
the mechanics of tattooing and how it related to the precision
required in the art of tattooing and most especially in the safety measures
necessary to preserve one's health. In fact his wife feels he borders on
the "hypo" in regards to anything medical.
Since 1996, Denise's Everything
Jersey, grew and expanded into ON IT Industries in 1999.
In August 2000, Geo's Tatshack
was formed as a joint venture and application of Denise's talents as a webmaster
and website promotion specialist, and George's extensive knowledge in the
Art of Tattooing. Living in the "LATEST AGE OF TATTOO & BODY PIERCING"
the time was right.
God richly blessed Geo's Tatshack
and it is presently the main focus of ON IT Industries.
By the end of 2000 (just 4 short months) Geo's Tatshack received $26,000
in sales. In March 2001, we added
a Tattoo
& Body Piercing Enthusiasts Gift Shop. In May 2001, we started
accepting Visa & Master Card.
In 2002 we were able to say WE SUPPLY THE WORLD by shipping to every continent
except Antartica (guess its too cold to expose any skin up there).
November 2002, We added Apprenticeship Videos made available FOR THE FIRST
TIME in VHS PAL & VHS NTCS formats for the entire world to learn (DVDs
added 2004).
In October 2003, Geo's Tatshack expanded ON IT Industries to include the
only ONLINE TATTOO BODY PIERCING APPRENTICESHIP & CERTIFICATE COURSE,
via www.LearnHowToTattoo.com
&
www.LearnHowToPierce.com
as a unique and affordable way to be Properly Trained & Instructed
as a Tattoo/Body Piercing Specialist. In November 2003, the
TATTOO BODY PIERCING
INSTITUTE WAS OFFICIALLY OPENED automatically awarding CERTIFICATES to
Tattoo /Body Piercing Specialists from around the world who have already
purchased the required curriculum from Geo's Tatshack - ON IT in the
past 10+ years at no additional cost.

TATTOO APPRENTICESHIP & CERTIFICATE COURSES
* As there is no State, Country or Worldwide standard to certify
the Tattoo/Body Piercing Specialist,
Each
state and/or country has different regulations that must be met via their
Local Health Departments. The TBPI Apprenticeship & Certificate Course
DOES NOT GUARANTEE everything you need to meet those regulations. However,
most of the US states and many countries around the world want a CERTIFICATE
from an acknowledged professional in the Tattoo & Body Piercing
Industry.
The T.B.P.I Tattoo/Body Piercing Specialist Certificate meets this
requirement, the rest is up to you.
