![]() ![]() So I had to have an extra-long apprenticeship because you can't tattoo till you're 18. They didn't really even once I got my license to actually tattoo because I was also underage. But yeah, there were so many I don't even think they really looked twice at my stuff or anything like that. I was like 15, or 16, and they were all like in their 30s or something. There were probably like 10 other apprentices at the shop at that time. Well, the shop that I did my apprenticeship at, they were always taking apprentices. But since you started so young, and you are obviously apprenticing in other shops, what were the other artists' respect levels like? I feel like the best things you can't really plan. And then it ended up just completely taking over and I didn't even go to art school. Just make some money on the side while you're making this art shit happen, you know." So she kind of helped me find some apprenticeship to kind of get that going. And my mom was just like, "You know, you should try tattooing. I obviously wasn't working or anything or making any money, I was just drawing and stuff. Back then I was intending to go to art school, hoping for RISD. So I just thought it would be more practical to spend less time in school and just focus on drawing and stuff. I was homeschooled from my sophomore year of high school because I was just super into art and I was not really taking school as seriously at that point. I know one of my friends just got a house, and she put in so much work. So I'm working extra every day to manage everything until I move in. What have you been up to lately? How are you doing today?
