Hi, I'm Russell Sellen, better known as Rusty Sin. When I first met Mark I must admit that I was a little intimidated due to the fact that he's a burly guy and that I was new to the whole Body Modification scene. As time passed, I went the shop almost every day to hang out and talk.  Finally, I asked for a job. I started by working the counter cleaning all sorts of stuff.

I have always been curious about body modifications of all sorts, it intrigued me in a very special way.  Mark is literally the raddest guy I have ever met, we connected . He's like a father to me, and I mean that with lots of respect. Anyway, eventually I was asked to apprentice.

A regular apprenticeship lasts about 8 months.  Mine lasted 2 years. Mark and I felt that decision was the best for me in the long run. In the beginning of my apprenticeship, I started to do basic tapering and jewelry changes for clients that came in. I then started to bring in friends (under Mark's supervision) and began to pierce them. I started to pierce more and more and now I am a fully licensed body artist in the state of Washington.

Thanks to Mark Only for teaching me this great art form. I personally have 28 piercings all over my body and I can't wait to see what’s in store for my body modifications. I feel that the more I learn, do, practice, and teach, the better off I am.
