About the Author

Born November 7, 1982, he spent his childhood with his parents until four, when he, his brother, and his mother started bouncing around Miami Beach. Large chunks of his youth were spent in rehabs, jails, boot camps, and mental hospitals. His public school days were primarily spent in learning 

disability and emotionally handicapped classes. As a young adult, he concentrated on dozens of professions but learning how to tattoo and perform body modifications was his main focus. While going to school for massage therapy, he realized how to combine bodywork and body art. Through his studies with Reiki, he began to understand the significance of drawing symbols over the body. 

That realization inspired him to study everything he could, only to internalize that which promotes this holistic approach to body art. Mike realizes the significance of performing body modifications and how it presents a sacred opportunity to step into successive realities. 

He is dedicated to developing ways for us to crack codes and illicit supernatural abilities. He parallels what he’s doing now with what he did as a kid while playing video games like Super Mario Brothers and reading Marvel Comic Books. The difference is he’s currently learning how to manifest such abilities into what we’ve come to accept as reality. Even though he sometimes argues the point, it could just be that he’s so high he thinks he is. I’d classify him as a speculative person who seeks to enact a re-engineering of humanity in the kindest way possible. He’s passionate about making his capacities transcend those of present humans but not to the point where he’s no longer considered human by our current standards.

Nonetheless, Mike is a regular person who openly admits that his logic can sometimes be flawed, even though he has clearly, accessed a deep reservoir of information. Throughout the years, he’s become schooled in the folklore of the global community. Allow him to share with you what his experience of this whole thing is. 

It doesn’t take long to discover that Mike fully endorses transforming his human condition by applying ancient wisdom and modern technology. Mike has no problem with people considering him odd. He’d like to think of himself as what Doreen Virtue calls a “professional odd.” Like in the gambling world, professional odds get played. He understands his work would receive criticism, but that doesn’t seem to prevent him from speaking his truth as he knows it. He doesn’t claim to be any more right than the next person. Mike thinks everyone’s beliefs fit somewhere in the equation. He views it as an honor to present this material to you; it gives him a sense of duty. The essence of his business is an exploration of how we can modify our body, mind, and spirit. “We are a pioneering research institution investigating the various fields of body art. In this school, there are no rules and regulations. Mike refuses to use the same platform as our oppressors to get his point across, yet he has no qualms about reverse engineering it. Because of their inability to adapt to formal education, all his independent study has allowed him to learn only the information that is relevant to what he teaches. When his name is in better circulation, we will write an autobiography about what I’ve just covered. “As far as this industry, I created my bridge over the hurdles I was presented with.”
