 Triple Moon, the studio of Elizabeth and Miles Moxley, refers to the three phases of the moon and the triple goddess-- Persephone, Demeter and Hecate. Elizabeth Moxley is an old spirit. She has an eclectic taste in music, and has  danced in CATS , Les Miserables and Evita. She sang in Les Mis, Evita, Big River, CATS, Joseph and theTechnicolor Dream Coat and Phantom of the Opera. Like her husband Miles, she was self taught and artistic before becoming a tattoo artist. As a painter she taught Miles how to paint sunflowers as a first project. Elizabeth taught Miles how to paint and Miles taught Elizabeth how to tattoo.Miles Moxley has been drawing since he was five. He first saw a tattoo on his uncle who had just returned from a tour of duty in Viet Nam, and had “tattoos all over him.” Miles asked his uncle, “how do they stay on?” His uncle told Miles the story of the needles that place ink under the skin so that it stays forever. Miles went, “Wow, I could draw on people and my art will last forever.”
By age 8, Miles was studying the great artists the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo, Van Gogh and  Monet, retreating into the woods to get away from parents, noise and other distractions in order to focus on his drawing. Not quite of the generation of “indigo children,” Miles has nontheless many of the characteristics: introverted, creative, solitary, self-taught, deep-thinking and brilliant. It seems natural that Miles was attracted to mythology. He rebelled from his family’s religious indoctrination to find his own path by studying the other myths, Greek, Roman, Druid, Norse.
