Hi, I’m a sophomore in high school and was looking for a place to connect with tattoo Enthusiast’s and artists, and I guess this is the place 😮 I first started getting interested in tattoos when I was 12, I would binge watch LA ink on netflix but that all ended in a month or so.. Fast forward to 3 years later (freshman year) I was wondering what I wanted to do with my life and thought for weeks. It finally popped into my head. I remembered how important art is to me and how I’ve been doing art all my life, so why not do it for a career? Well, just regular painting and drawing seemed too bland (Although I do both daily :p ) And for some reason “tattoo artist” popped into my head, I don’t know why either, I hadn’t been interested in tattoos for a while, but now a year later, I still follow this dream and I’m putting hard work and dedication into eventually becoming a tattoo artist. Now I’m 2 years from being an adult I figured I should start trying even harder to get into this buisness. I have been drawing or painting everyday for the past 4 months when I decided I need to bring meaning into my life. Hopefully I can meet some great people and learn great things on this forum. 😀
