My newest venture is to learn how to tattoo. I've always admired the art of tattooing and decided that teaching myself how to tattoo would be a great outlet for my creative mind. By taking this on I have committed myself to start drawing again and learning new mediums. My creativity has been lacking for a long time - I seem to have gotten a little lost and life somehow got in the way. My remedy...making art a part of my daily life.
I wish I had time to apprentice under a great artist, but with a full time job as a Graphic Designer and being a full time mother to my beautiful baby girl, India, I don't. So most of this will be a slow learning process. I received all my tattoo supplies and will probably be practicing on some fruit this weekend. I know how to put my gun together, now it's just becoming a master of the art. Wish me luck!!
Sweet! I didn't know you got it!
ReplyDeleteGot it on the 17th, but I haven't had time to play with it. And of course, I had to watch some tutorials on how to put the machines together. I got three guns...one for lining, one for shading - and then they sent me a FREE machine because my order was over $150. I'll probably use it as a shader too. I could do it all with just one gun, but having more than one makes it to where you don't have to change your needles during a tattoo, you just change guns. I guess that's the easiest way to do it. I'm really excited. And Danny can't wait for me to get good...he wants me to do a lot of him. LOL.
