Biography

Booth was an entrepreneur at a young age. He began his own sign making shop at the age of fifteen and subsequently learned airbrushing and Repo work. When he got his first tattoo, his daughter's name, his interest was piqued and he wanted to learn more about what there was to the medium. Booth has now been tattooing for over twenty years, and in that time he has worked on multiple celebrities and rock bands, including Fred Durst, Slayer, Slipknot, Mudvayne, Pantera, the Undertaker, Superjoint Ritual, Lamb of God, and Adrenaline Crew.[2] Booth is widely considered a master of the art form.[3][4]

The Art Fusion Experiment

Booth helped create the Art Fusion Experiment (AFE).[5] The AFE is a learning tool for tattoo artists.
