if u think this is for U, think again

Reading the forums, it seems like so many out there want to do this trade. However, as Joe said, their are so mant artists out there that are not, and cannot do this trade. If one cant give, their whole soul to it, then it is not for you. If one has to ask where to begin, then you have no passion, if you did, you would go to whatever shop is close to you, show your art, take whatever critizem, and keep going. Look in the mags, buy the crap, puncture your friends/family/whomever is stupid enough to let you touch then with a :PERIMANATE needle, and love it. If you care about humankind, or even your friends, YOU WOULD NOT ATTEMPT ANYTHING THAT IS FOREVER! You would strive to be your best, at your artwork, have the humilaty to ask someone YOU think is a great artist, particularly a tattoo artist, as in someone already in the trade, if they shoot you down, WORK HARDER! If you are meant to do this, there is no questions. You will do whatever is needed, if you dont have the moxy to do that, quit thinking about it and move on. J

could'nt have said it better myself .....except for the spelling! sound advice there really are to many hacks out there.

Sometimes peoples comments or questions rain a flury of thoughts, and my spelling suffers....te he he....J
