My original apprenticeship was short lived (work 1 full day for the 2 weeks i was hired for) Did the shop b!#@% work: sweeping, mopping, wipe down. answered the phone, learned how to use the autoclave and utlasonic cleaner to sterlize tubes, set up appointments, break down and sterlize after a session, Some-what set up(laying down the plastic wrap, wrapping the power supply and machine, using A&D to keep the ink cups put) and if not doing any of that, draw draw draw!!I learned all that in a day. I regret being lost with what i wanted to do with my life, i was younger and dumb. if i knew i wanted to tattoo after all, i would not of quit. but its a lesson learned.

Im determined to get another apprenticeship. its not a matter of “if”, but “when”. Even if its not with my original mentor (that would suck though). And when i do, im going the whole 10 yards. i want to learn the trade, inside and out. I understand even when im a tattoo artist its not like its over with the learning, everyday will b a learning experience and im looking foward to it. To be able to better my artistic and tattooing ability keep me so interested and excited.
