Missoula Rabble, I finally met Neeko. I've heard of her and seen her artwork but her face remained a mystery until today. She was standing outside the Wilma trying to score Jane's Addiction tickets with her husband. "We're keeping our fingers crossed," she said. Neeko is a tattoo artist at Altered Skin. She made art in high school and decided she wanted to make art for a living. She's been tattooing for four and a half years. Neeko says she mostly enjoys working on color pieces. "I like a lot of cartoony, bright, colorful things," she said. "It's a lot of fun to create a lot of depth with colors." I asked her if she had any struggles as a tattoo artist. "It's hard to do side art because I need to concentrate on tattoos," she said. And lastly, I asked if she had any advice for this big, wide world. "Don't be afraid of anything. Ever."
