Greetings from Chicago IL

Hey All ,
Quick intro I guess , name is Jesse , currently at the tail end of my apprenticeship , been tattooing for a little bit , when I can get a client into the shop , but alas my client list isn’t very long :) One of the many things ya don’t really consider when ya get into this fine business , so needless to say it’s slow going at this point ! , My Mentor has assured me a position at the shop so I guess that’s a good start , seen a few apprentice’s come and go , and it’s a matter of weeks before I will be doing small tattoo’s and stuff on walk in’s so I’m happy and nervous about that ! I have been drawing and painting my whole life really , long as I can remember , I am a confident Artist with a huge custom portfolio , all my work I do is made with outlines from the start and ready for life in the flesh !
Been reading some posts and thought I’d join and get to know some of you and see if ya got a tips or advise , or happy to provide some to those I can help ! Well see how this goes take care !
