Raymond Farnham was born and raised in East Los Angeles and the foothills of Pasadena, California. In his late teens he found his way to the South Bay and Hermosa Beach where he would always call home.
Raymon started tattooing on his bros in 1989. As a known local boy, Raymon's "House O' Pain" in Redondo Beach was doing two to four tattoos a day. Other than people to tattoo, nothing else came easy for Raymon in his pursuit of tattooing knowledge, he was met with only hostility, deception, and rejection. Raymon was forced to learn through a long road of trial and error.
By 1995 Raymon was finding his skills while operating his House O' Pain in Mesa, Arizona. Raymon left Arizona in 2001 to help his brother open a shop in Idaho. After leaving His brother's shop Raymon's career went through Big City Tattoo in San Diego, Buzz Bomb in Venice Beach, and a couple other places not worth mentioning.
Needless to say `the roads been rough', but Raymon is "Skinny Boy" and Skinny Boy does only quality tattooing and body piercing. Raymon has proven his skills with over 20 years of experience and does some of the best color work you will find anywhere. The proof is in the pudding!!
