Tom Becka is our most famous apprentice.

Tom worked the Friday Evening shift (2-24-06) on a busy night of Piercings.

Pictured below is his first client.

As Tom has not yet passed his Boards to get his license to practice Body Arts, she was not pierced by him.

Tom concentrated on making her more comfortable along the way in our exclusive reduced discomfortless approach to body arts.

These pictures show Tom working on Line Art for a customer

Tom, we love you, but keep your day job for the time being.

This is the original photo of what the customer wants and what Tom did on his very first G2R art project Way to go Tom!

The art was submitted by a customer. It started off as a cool idea and a photo of a bad tattoo

Tom: The goal is a good tattoo so we need to correct the artwork, not make it worse! LOL

Here is Gary's version of this art project

After a little coaching from Gary and the friendly staff

Tom's work is coming along nicely.

Very Good Tom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tom was lots of fun and really brightened up our lives.

Toms Report Card:

Hey Tom:

It was delightful to spend a little time with you on Friday night. The other apprentices as well as the customers were also excited by your presence.

Now to rate your performance as an "apprentice Body Arts Technician" separating Tom Becka the Radio Host from your duties here; I thought you did very well.

The most important thing in any body arts studio is Sterility. I had a sense that you understand that prime directive and were willing to work well with that concept. I would give you a "A" on Sterility. On working with the general public and making them feel welcome I would give you an "A++". Never before has a shop bitch (a term of endearment I assure you) showed as much enthusiasm for the new job at hand. Congratulations at a job well done. Of course, no person is perfect so now we get to the weaker side of your performance. Your skills at the art table were, well lets just say, so-so. The art test inside match book covers is not looking for you. You hold promise, as you have only one way to go - Improvement. I would rate your art skills as "C+".

The art ability is not your failing score. Your only failing scores were in Cleaning and Goffering. Not once all evening did I see you with a mop or squirt bottle in your hand. Sure our bathroom was clean, but do you know what a photo of Tom Becka in the bathroom on his hands and knees would be worth on EBAY? You kind of dropped that ball on that category. An as a gofer, you neglected to wait hand and foot on the other more experienced apprentices. Tom, if you expect to make it in this business, remember the pecking order and serve your masters well.

As our newest member of the apprentice staff, it will be your duty for eternity to always think of skin as more than a place to hang your shirt and pants. Skin is now for you a sacred institution where man is able to express sentiments to the very Gods that placed us here.

As you go forward Tom into your new found talents and responsibilities, never forget the little people that gave you your start that cold winter night in a modest little studio in Lincoln NE.

The staff of Guns 2 Roses wishes you peace and tranquility as you enter your new life as a Tattoo/Piercing Artist.

Sincerely and with best wishes,

Gary & the gang
