literally came out of nowhere (Patreon)

you know i’ve been tattooing since march of 2019. i started my apprenticeship in november. it’s been hard. rewarding. overwhelming.

there is so much stress and also so much freedom. i’m trying hard. i was thrown out to the wolves. my first mentor taught me the basics and that was about it. i was picked up to go work at my friends private shop. immediately started working my own books. i mean ever since i honestly started.

i can’t wait to keep making my craft one of a kind. i want to excel. for not just my personal goals/reasons but because i know what art does for someone.

art has saved my life. and it can save others.

i am privileged to be able to be called an artist and live the way i do. i do not take it for granted.

i have battled my way here.

people have tried to take me down

i’ve tried to take my own self down

but look at me standing up

being my own being
