My names Rickey Gibson Wheeler, I was born James Dallas Scherck, but my mom changed my name when I was 8 years old so I wouldn’t be named after my drug addicted, sick and twisted biological father. I was raised in what I affectionately call a “cult”, known to most people as the Mormon Church. I survived 220v of electricity flowing through my body at 18 months old, drowning at 4, falling off a 2 story building at 6, and a crazy truck wreck at 16. I stabbed my right eye with a switch blade on accident when I was 12 which caused me to have a lazy eye until 2008 when my doctor fixed it.

This all attributed to me being a very odd child, lacking most social skills needed to function with other humans, easily at least. I endured this crazy reality for the first 15 years of my life, thoroughly “warping” my mind…haha….seriously though….

I was and still am a loner. I spend as much time alone as I can, or with Ashlan my fiancee and best friend for the last 6 years. I have a vivid imagination, constantly designing and imagining things in my head, so much so that I suffer from mild insomnia because I can’t turn it off at night. Tylenol PM does it for me!

As far as tattooing goes, I rock the black-n-grey like crazy. It’s by far my favorite thing to do. But I do full color pieces too. I’ll do flash, but I love it when someone comes to me with a cool idea and just lets me do my thing. I free hand when the piece allows for it. I prefer free handing to using a pattern because it always flows with the body better. So bring me some cool ideas and let me design something custom for you!

I also pierce, I do the basics of course, and tons more. I do microdermals, surface work, dermal punching, etc… I have the most experience in the Texoma area, I’ve done it, felt it, and healed it, so if you want it, I can do it. But if your body isn’t built for it I will tell you NO!

F.A.Q.’s

• What size are your gauges? – First, they are plugs, not “gauges”, but they are 2 inches.
• Did that hurt? – Yes…it did hurt.
• How long did it take to stretch them that far? – I pierced my ears at 13yo and began stretching (16g, 14g, 12g, etc…) slowly for a couple of years at first, all the while assuring my mother they where the same size as the last pair. At 16 I kicked it into high gear and went a little too fast for a few years, I was at 1 1/2 inches by 18, and 2″ by 22. I haven’t stretched in 2 years, and may never again.
• Do they hurt now? – Nope…
• Did you stretch your inner ears too? – Yes and no. I had my Conch’s dermal punched by Allen Falkner at Obscurities in Dallas, TX. He punched them at 8mm, or 0g. I then spent 2 years stretching them to half inch. A very painful process!
• Is your lip stretched too? – Yep, 1/2 inch. It used to be 3/4″ but after a couple of years of that I backed down for comfort reasons.
• Is your tongue split? – Yes, and I can move both halves separately.
• Is it true you have no nipples? – Yes.
• Are you fucking insane? – That’s relative.
