THY SELF

PICTURES OF MEANING

I love pictures that mean something or say something to a person. If you plan on getting inked I suggest you really think about what you want. Base your tattoo ideas off things that inspire you or things that you love. I've met a handful of people who regret there tattoos so much, or plan on getting an old tattoo covered. Get a tattoo that will forever mean something to you.

MY INSPIRATION

MY DAD

Since I was a little girl ive been arount tattooing. My dad always had his own personal set up in our garage wherever we lived where he would tattoo his buddies and sometimes even strangers , but there was always someone wanting a tattoo from my dad. I would sit and watch him work for hours. To all my dads friends I was his little sidekick. Sometimes he would even let me spray the alchol before he wiped. When I was ten years old my dad taught me how to use a tattoo gun and soon after let me tattoo a small flower on the side of his foot. I've always been so intrigued and entertained by the process. As I started to take art classed in high school I realized I had talent. I was pretty good at drawing pencil to paper and even paintbrush to canvas, all my art teachers loved seeing my work. My dad always encouraged my brother and I to draw out our imagination and express our thoughts through pictures. So that's what I plan to do for the rest of my life. I dream to one day become a professional tattoo artist and make my dad proud.

 

I'm ridiculously obsessed with stick and poke tattoo designs. My two best friends and I have three matching stick and pokes that we did ourselves, and they actually came out pretty great. I don't think ill ever regret them.

 

All about it.

In my blog I'm going to be showing you my sketches and ideas for tattoos eventually creating a scrap book. They will be through out one semester. I hope to have my scrap book published and shelved in actual tattoo shops.
