When to get em started

my oldest son is about to turn 11 and he loves to draw (and he is getting very good at it), and watch his mother tattoo. he has made mention in passing that he would like to follow in her foot steps one may say, so would it be wrong of me to order him some practice skin and a smaller gun and let her start teaching him not only tattooing but also the responsabitites that go along with it or when might be a good time ya think??

Tis a lesser crime indeed to callyour mother a whore and your father a thief than to call the sacred machine of tattooing a "GUN"!!!!!

Ok now that I have yelled atcha about calling a machine a "GUN"...here is your answer...11 is probably a bit too young for a real machine...just do what I did...took an old machine and put it on the and of a pencil...gives the feel of tattooing and also builds up muscles that are only used in tattooing...wait til ya catch the little shit tryin to swipe moms machines or tryin to build one himself...then you'll know its time!...TAz PS about the band...actually I have probably any equipment ya need...I have a studio in my home loaded with guitars,wmps drums keyboards ...anything ya need and all high end stuff...no junk!...most drummers and gtr players usually like to use their own stuff but they are welcome to use mine!...bet me a list of what ya need!...TAz

Yeah, the best thiong you can do is be supportive of your childs love of drawing. I wish my parents would have been that way when I was his age. But then again when I was to busy drawing during social studies instead of playing attention in class I guess they had a right to bitch. *lol* As long as he is into it buy him all the pencils, paper, markers, construction paper, coloring books, etc, you can!....That's awesome!

first off i have no excuse i knew beter then to call it that bad three leter word so im sorry. the pencil idea is great i would have never thought of that! well i think we will just let it all play out and see how it goes keep him drawing and watching his mom work and maybe wait a few more years before we put a real working "machine" in his hand
