hi! i'm amanda pepper.

i am an artist in south city st. louis. i grew up just across the river in edwardsville. i've been at trx tattoos in saint louis for the last 7 years, but starting Jan 1st 2013, Thunderdome Tattoo (1558 South Broadway St. Louis, MO 63104) will be my new home base! my second home is west palm beach, fl, with the wonderful guys and girls at hellcat tattoo (aka hellkitty!) i make visits to work there usually twice a year. i love to travel and do so whenever there is an opportunity. tattooing is definitely my passion, though oil paint was my first love! they seem to go hand in hand. some of my favorite things to tattoo are cute things (!), flowers, or anything pretty with lots of colors! i would say my specialty is color combinations and making things extra girly. (dont worry guys i'd love to do your tattoos too! not sure how baking is related but it is a really fun pastime of mine. i learned to bake from my summer visits to miss betty's cafe in grand lake, co. i love the combination of chemistry and art that is baking. i'd say my best nom is cookies. baking has become a very serious hobby of mine!... what else?? i love to read, crochet, draw, and paint.. my favorite color is all of them, i realllly love kitty cats and alpacas but mostly all animals. i like anything cheesecake or chocolate, and my favorite spice is cardamom.
