Gayle's family moved to the desert when she was
four years old and they got a bit of a chilly reception... it
snowed! In this episode, Gayle reminisces about exploring in
the desert and a few of the festivals and events for which people
traveled for miles to attend. Even after two moves away from
the desert, Gayle says she always knew she was coming back. She and
her husband, Tom, were married in her parents front yard in 29Palms
(old timers and the California DOT spell it: Twentynine Palms) and
they now own 'Ink and Steel' their tattooing and piercing business
in Joshua Tree. Gayle is involved in the Joshua Tree community
serving on the Joshua Basin Water District Citizens Board and
regularly attending Municipal Advisory Council and other
meetings.
A less
than comfortable tattoo experience ignited Gayle's interest in
becoming a tattoo artist, but being a tattoo apprentice, especially
as a female unrelated to her mentor, was a challenging experience.
She offers some helpful hints to help you have a great tattoo
experience.
Gayle
and Tom also operate an Airbnb call The Cactus Patch.
