So, what's it like working at High Voltage?
- uh. well. you know, it's interesting. i absolutely love it. you meet lots of different types of people, and i love people, so this is basically like my dream job.
What's it like working with Jeremy?
- (laughs) jer? he's chill as fuck. amazing guy, with some really sick artwork and incredible talent. working with him is a whole other experience. he definitely keeps you guessing, which is what i love about him.
High Voltage gets a lot of business, from what I hear. A lot of famous people come here for tattoos. But what about piercings?
- oh yeah, they definitely ask for piercings too. but most of the people that come in here for piercings are just some locals. a lot of the famous people already have most piercings they want. jer's actually teaching me the ropes of tattooing now, says he needs the help.
Alright. That's good stuff. You have any of your artwork on you?
- it's back in my little piercing studio. uhm, i could probably go get it if you want to see it. i do a lot of alex pardee-esque stuff. i also like to take random images i find on places like, flickr or tumblr, and expand and redo them in my own style. i enjoy free-handing a lot of my art. sometimes i'll just sit at home and draw for hours, with really no direction or anything. i just... draw.
Yeah, if you don't mind, I'd like to see it.
- alright. one minute (returns shortly with numerous portfolios) here. those are all the ones i have here. the rest are in my apartment. those are all from just this year so far.
God, your work is nothing short of incredible. Where did you learn to draw like this?
- My mom and my brother. My mom is.. well, was.. an artist. But she did more like, portraits of people. And Seth, my brother, God rest his soul, did a lot of macabre type art. When he died, he left all of his art stuff to me, and I wasn't any older than maybe, fourteen. I just poured my soul and all my pain and grief at his death into the art and somewhere along the road, i started to love drawing. Ever since then, I couldn't bear to stop. It makes me feel close to Seth still.
I know that's a tough thing to go through. If you don't mind me asking, how did he die?
- It's fine. I mean, it's an interview. I'm kind of supposed to bare a little bit of my soul for the world. Well, uh. There was this girl who was really into him, but she had a boyfriend. One night at a party, she came onto Seth but since he was friends with her boyfriend, he turned her down. She got furious and swore to him he'd regret it. She told Matt, her boyfriend, that Seth had raped her, which of course was the farthest thing from the truth. Uh, Matt lost his temper and waited for Seth to get off of work one night and a few blocks from our house he confronted him about the accusation. Seth denied it, naturally, but Matt was too far buried into his anger right now to see that his best friend was telling the truth. (voice begins to shake a little)
You don't have to finish if you don't feel comfortable. There's no pressure here.
- No, no. It's fine. Anyways. Matt pulled out a knife and stabbed my brother twenty eight times and left him bleeding to death on the sidewalk. He was found wandering around, disoriented and soaked in Seth's blood, an hour later. He's spending life in prison now, with no chance for parole. And his ex girlfriend is in jail for accomplice to murder. But it won't ever bring my brother back.
Oh wow. I'm really sorry about that. What happened after that?
- My family fell apart. My father became an alcoholic and my mother threw herself into her artwork, much as I did. I remained really close to her, and grew away from my father. She was drinking too, out of sorrow and grief, but not like my father. They eventually divorced. He still drinks heavily, she just got out of rehab and has been sober for six months and I've never been prouder of my mom. She's my ray of light in this world.
Sounds like you and your mom are really close, which is great. So, let's stray away from this doom and gloom stuff and cover the basics. You were born in St Louis, Missouri?
- Born and raised. Missouri is great, I loved it there. I miss it, and I miss my friends, but I know Los Angeles will be good for me.
Right, right. Why'd you move here? Was it planned?
- No, actually, it was very impulsive. My ex boyfriend was abusive. He broke my arm once. And after an altercation where he broke my cheek bone, I knew I couldn't stay any longer. My mom supported me in the decision, and I packed everything I had and moved here. You're probably wondering, "well why los angeles?"
You got it. Why LA?
- It's always been my dream to live in california. Ever since i was little. I visited once with my Aunt on my mom's side, and I just fell in love with the atmosphere. I always said I'd come back, and when I left Trace, this was the first place that came to mind.
Understandable. Do you have any advice for other girls that could be trapped in an abusive relationship?
- Oh god yes. Get out. Seek help. I know it's hard, believe me I know because I have been there myself. But it's not worth the pain he is causing you. If he really loved you, he wouldn't hurt you, and I know that sounds so cliche but it's so true. If I hadn't left, Trace might have hurt me a lot worse than he already did. There's no need to think it's your fault or it's something you did, because that's not true. To the girls that are reading this, I love you and there are a lot of other people that do to. Save yourself, for me and for them.
That's really intense. A really emotional answer. What about kids who are chasing their dreams?
- I have advice for them too. Don't ever give up. Your dreams are what keep this world spinning and keep you moving forward. Chase them until you've achieved them. You can do anything you put your mind to. Set the sky as the limit and don't stop until you achieve it.
Wow. That's great advice. Alright everyone, that concludes our interview with the staff at High Voltage. Thanks so much, Skyla. You're definitely going to go places. Thanks again for your time.
- No, thank you for the opportunity. Have a wonderful day, it was really great getting to share with you.
