Am I ready to work on my own skin ?

Honestly you could. A lot of really great artist don’t have any diploma and it take nothing from their work. I had the opportunity I took it I don’t have to justify myself on it, It’s just for saying I am not coming from a nothing background.

I don’t deevaluate ? How do you think I am learning ? By watching artist work on my skin, by watching them tattooing on the internet, by trying to understand their technique. Reading the book they wrote. I have respect for the professional, I just can’t find a tattoo artist who have the time the place or the capacity of taking an apprentice around me.

Just because I am not doing “traditionally” means I am shitting on the art.
