Hello and thanks to the readers of the local papers for voting us Champaign's and Urbana's, BEST place to get Tattooed and Piercied 10 Years in a row.

It all started back in 1990. When Ray was getting a grim reaper tattooed in Los Angelos Ca.  By a guy named Rick at Paul James tattoo studio. During the coarse of the night. Ray was offered a tattoo apprenticeship. Though it had never crossed his mind Ray was diffently interested.  You see Ray was enthralled by tattoos. Having a tattoo seemed to be a great way to mark a moment in time. And with Ray's interest in art , and wierd clothes hair cut and attitude it was a match made in heaven. The next week we found a wino that wanted a tattoo and we gave him $20 and  Ray gave him one of the most fucked up tattoos you had ever seen. Yes it was that bad.  Julie Ray's wife refused to move to California. So Ray was forced to return home to Granville Illinois.  For the next several years Ray practiced the art of tattooing, as a hobbie on any of his dumb ass friends that would let him.. Till this day Ray still feels sorry for all those scars he left on peoples body. Most of which he has since covered up for free.  As he got better (because it couldnt have been worse.)  He decided to open up his own Tattoo studio.  And living in a small town like granville was the pits. So he talked Julie into quiting her job they got a map out circled every city that had 100,000 population. Took rode trips , and settled on champaign illinois, with no money and no help from the family Ray Julie and their son moved to champaign.  Working three Jobs Ray was able to come  up with enough money to open up Vision World a name that came from what  Ray does he listen to your ideas , kinda argues with you, then begins the drawing which brings your vision to the world. There were only two places that would rent to a tattoo shop the place he is at now. And a ten story office building. That had no sinks in it. So wa la this was the place. Ray was doing what he thought was good work at the time. But then he ran into An unbelievably great artist. Who was doing work like noone had ever seen at the time. So Ray went back to art school and started learning how to draw. Those were hard times Julie worked full time as a manager at subway in champaign.  Over the years and many art classes and tattoo seminars later. Today Ray is doing work that is in a word... ART .....Beautiful Artwork.  Sometimes based off his paintings Rays work today is definately some of the best artwork in the world. Put that together with Ray's desire to bring the clients vision forward  under the safest, cleanest of tattoo enviroments . And yell see why today  Vision World is reconized as Champaign Urbanas Best place to get Tattooed and Pierced .
