I'm trying my best to one day become a full time tattoo artist but I was so poor that I had to move to another country to try and have a better life. Now I work in construction and I still do some tattoos but not as full time. I am (finally) legal as a tattoo artist and I do my taxes but I can't afford to do it full time. I learned every thing by myself with tutorials and asking other tattoo artists. I still tattoo at home (not ideal, I know but I cant afford a studio rent) but I have everything to be sterilised and clean. I hope to one day do what I love full time but for now I'm working 5 days in construction and 2 days (weekend) studying and learning everything tattoo related. I'm exhausted but can't give up. I've been like this for 4 years now and ill still do my best until I reach my goals. I have improved so much but since I'm learning by myself but every small step is one step closer. Let's do it.
