Trust me on the sticking around part.

Have thick skin, listen and learn. My first “Oh My God” tattoo that I thought was excellent has since been covered by an Artist. I listened, started to research, and I feel I truly became part of the tattoo community. Some may consider me a snob or stuck up, but I learned what it’s…
