Meet Curtis
Curtis was born and raised in Northern Michigan and was first exposed to tattoos with his father. “He had a road runner tattoo on his arm”, says Curt, “and I thought it was neat that it would never come off.”
After high school graduation, Curtis joined the Navy as a Seabee and was transferred to the Mississippi Coast. After 26 years, here he is! During his 5 years of enlistment, he had received 8 tattoos. His very first one was on his arm and done by Diane.
While in battalion, he became friends with Dan Tomalis who also works for Jack & Diane’s. When Dan got out of the Navy and started working at the studio he convinced Curtis to give it a try as his enlistment was also coming to an end. Knowing he had nothing to lose, he gave it a try and now 26 years later, he is still here and planning on at least another 20.
In November 2006, Curtis met his wife, Sara, when she came in for a tattoo. He is now an amazing step-dad to Josh and incredible father to his beautiful little girl, Ryanne.
The Jack & Diane’s family is super thankful to have Curt on the team!
