Nicole Francisco


NICOLE FRANCISCOOOOOOOOOOOO!! Born and Raised in Hawaii. Living in the 808 from 1982-2000. She left for 2 years after graduating from Kahuku class of 2000 to BYU Provo then came back and attended BYU-H from 2002-2004. Didn’t finish there though “Drop out style” she says. I think maybe because she got to distracted making awesome cups and pots with me and Reggie in ceramics class (remember that?LOL), hunting down the nearest Radiohead concert, and planning her next tattoo design and location haha. That latest Radiohead one looks awesome by the way!
Radiohead Tatoos

WAIT! But don’t count her out just yet with school because she is now living in Salt Lake City going to U of U and is majoring in Political Science.
Nichole says she is “Single as a pringle” and is having tons of fun hanging out with her BFF’s.
Me and my BFF! Drew!
