Yeah, so it's obvious I am no good at keeping blogs! Funny, because I uses to rock at keeping diaries!
So it's been like 3 1/2 - 4 months since I started my tattoo apprenticeship and it has been an amazing whirlwind of creativity, bustin' ass, love, support, and I wouldn't trade it for the world! I love having the tattoo machine in hand, making art, and most of all, I love my shop!
A custom art shop, Hollywood Stars Tattoo, in Los Angeles, California, is literally just a step outside of Los Angeles International Airport. This location puts us in contact with so many wonderful people who are coming and going, staying, and traveling. Our customers range from locals to tourists, celebrities to the average Joe, but all amazing body art collectors after our guys put a needle to them!
So, if you're reading this and actually know who I am and this journey I am making, you might be asking yourself, but T, what have YOU been doing at the tattoo shop? Aside from jonesin' for more ink?
Well, I have started working on tshirts for the shop based on the artwork of our artists, working on the shop website, and, with the help of Lovely Lesley, the other shop apprentice, redesigned one of the tattoo stations. Photos to follow. Along with the redesign, I have reupholstered an office chair to match, and thanks to Craigslist, found a vintage dentist chair-made tattoo chair to match!
So I have the tools. I have the station. I just need the flesh! Any volunteers?
