I am a tattoo artist... that's what i do, its what i love, its what keeps me going on a day to day basis... I have to be doing this i don't think after having this lifestyle i could be anything else... I live for my work, i strive to be the best, and one day i will be among those who i believe are the greats of this industry... I hate how much disrespect there is in this line of work... Not just from the "outside" world, but from the people within it also... I want to learn, i want to feed my brain with nothing but tattooing and art knowledge... but there is too many people out here that will constantly try and hold me back. I am in this for myself, and my art.. is that enough "self motivation" for all u to be happy with???
