Vinnie Myers grew up in suburban Baltimore. He served 6 years as a medic in the U.S. Army. In 1991, he opened Little Vinnie’s Tattoos in Westminster, Maryland. Within a year, he moved from an obscure location to a store front on Main Street and took on several additional tattoo artists and apprentices. He then traveled the world to continue learning, practicing, and perfecting his tattoo work. In 2002, a plastic surgeon in Baltimore asked if Vinnie could try creating nipple tattoos for breast reconstruction patients. Since then, Vinnie has been immersed in the art of 3D nipple tattooing for women diagnosed with breast cancer. He now works with Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, the Center for Restorative Breast Surgery in New Orleans, Lankenau Hospital in Wynnewood, PA, Capital Area Plastic Surgery in Saratoga Springs, NY, and Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction in Charleston, SC, with more locations to be added soon. Vinnie also enjoys creating fish illustrations, which takes him to fishing tournaments in Hawaii and other parts of the U.S. To see Vinnie’s work, visit www.vinniemyers.com.
