He never saw a real shop until three years later in 1972. He knew at that moment that’s what he wanted to do with his life. His first tattoo business license was bought in 1974.William Hill, owner of Wild Bills Tattooing in Roseville, California built his first tattoo machine from a doorbell at age 14. He began experimenting in a tiny tattoo shop set up in his bedroom closet. His first tattoo was a girls name, his second was covering it up.
With a love of motorcycles that was passed down from his father, (also named Bill) the younger Bill rode around on his Harley raising hell. Being known to party a little too much and getting in trouble with the law, that’s what gave him the nick name Wild Bill.Bill decided to stop drinking at age 20. He noticed right away that things started to go much better for him after that. He still has not drank to this day and is enjoying a clean and sober life.
