Lisa Schomldt lives in Port Charlotte Florida and has been tattooing for 14 years. She owns her own tattooing shop called Otherside Ink. Lisa has a number of hobbies and interests that inspire her artwork of tattooing. Music, travel, art, faeries, all things Egyptian and everything other worldly and not of this dimension.
When being asked what made her want to become a tattoo artist, she responded in saying that there was nothing in particular that made her want to be a tattoo artist. But she did explain that when growing up she saw a lot of BAD tattoos that made her think she could do better. With that thought in mind, Lisa became a tattoo artist.
Lisa believes that she doesn’t have a set style when it comes to her tattooing skills, but at the same time she prides her self in the fact that she assures all her tattoos are unique and as individual as the person who is getting them. She enjoys the technical aspect of tattooing, clean line structure, solid shading and solid hues of graduated colour are concepts on can really apply to any tattoo.
Just like me, her inspirations are that of Amy Brown and Brian Froud and actually specializes in recreating their artwork as tattoos. her work is amazing and the attention to detail is extremely specific. At the same time, she puts her own spin on it to ensure the artwork is not exactly the same and reflects that of the person who will own that image on their body for the rest of their life.
“I was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan, raised in a small town in missouri and moved to Florida where I graduated High Schoo, This is where I have resided since. My art training came straight from birth as both my parents met in art school which is where I was conceived. I have always had and artisti sense aboutme and took every course school had to offer. After high school I marred and had children, in doing so, I did not pursue my artistic abilities until around 1992, when I received my first tattoo and was introduced and intrigued by this form of expression and became instantly mesmerized by the artistic rendering in skin of such artists as Kari Barba, Juli Moon, Judy Parker and Vyvyn Lazonga. Learning and relearning this craft has been a long hard road of ups and downs, Filled with insights from many people of all spectrums of the industry. I joined the APT (Alliance of Professional Tattooists) in 1999 and follow all guidelines proposed by out professionals withing the industry when practicing the art of tattooing and have been certified in cross contamination and diesease prevention.
I have attended nummerous conventions and seminars over the years throught the US and have proven to be valuable learning and meeting experiense for me. The artists I have been in contact with and have tattooed me, have all, in come small or in some cases, very large ways contributed to the level of tattooing I am at today.
I try to work with my clients to achieve their internal visions, manifested outwardly, so that they can reflect to the outer world that which is within. Tattooing for me is very much about the exchange I have to have input from the client.”
