Hey guys,
My name is Matt, I’m 36 and I hail from the valley of the sun. I too am teching myself the art of tattooing. I got my first piece when I was 19 by a guy named Sprout @ Ratatattoo – I went back the next night and got another!
I began looking for apprenticeships everywhere I went, and after what seemed like the 1000th ‘sorry’, I gave up hope and went on with a different career choice. Well, I’m burnt out on the IT industry, and damnit, I want to ink for a living!!
I’m learning everything I can everyday via web, books, videos.
I have a mortgage, a kid, 2 car payments and a wife- so my current full time career is a requirement until I can make the transition- thus the lack of a formal apprenticeship.
My ears and eyes are always open to anything I can learn!!
I look forward to being part of the board!
