I know I dont post on here a ton..I just tend to keep things private now but this, I am really exited about!
Towards the beggining of summer I had some significant life changes and decided to pivot hard, and went after what previously felt like a nearly un-achiavble dream that I had growing up. That dream was becoming a tattoo artist.
Things really were different 14 years ago in the industry ..trying to get an apprenticeship as a girl was HARD and I had faced a bit of confidence crushing sexisim. When I was 18, I was told by a bald old ego-driven a**hole that “women dont make it in this industry” it made me so mad, I just thought of quitting and moved onto massage school.. then wedding photography instead. But it never felt “right”.
I had a second chance at another place -and that didnt go over well either. It just wasnt the right place, time, or people.
I at the start of summer I joined a new shop full of amazing and inspiring -primarily female- artists!
Today I finally get my license.
I got the “ok” to start working on real people, sharing a part of my art forever onto thier skin.
So yes, I do need some practice victims! ✨😉
