self taught artist with background in drawing, painting and later classical animation....love to draw. Love tats but never settled on my first one til I was almost 30! Since then have been studying and researching history and tecniques on tattoo......with incouragment from family, got a starter kit and have been busy! Practicing on fruit for most of the first year and then on my hubby!! Been off and running ever since.......would love an apprenticeship.....but have small children at home and can't afford to pay for one...... practice makes perfect and I hope to keep on practicing!!! :)
