hey all! i havnt been super active for a while. tryin to get back in the game lol. BUT i have some updates in my life i feel to share with my 6gc family. I moved back to pennsylvania from ohio. i no longer go to school in ohio or any school. i completely dropped out. right now i am apprenticing at a tattoo shop to learn the sacred art! i am extremly excited. this is my TRUE dream and ive sacrificed so much to get on the path i want. a world famous artist is guest spotting at the shop im in in about 1 week. Tony Mancia is his name. any tattoo enthusiasts out there should know him. if not. look him up!! this is a random post but i am just so happy that ive finally found my lifeline which is ART.

Sounds like youve got a great opportunity ahead of you!!Just dont screw it up!!

Nevermind... I wrote a whole lot of stuff.. I just say you finish school and do other things on the side as a hobby. It's always nice to have something secure and to fall back on, so finish school.

Brent.... I don't want to sound negative... But this kinda sounds like when I ran into other Asian guys and they were like "Maaaaaaaaan.... My parents want me to finish school and be a doctor, but I just want to be a Dj like Tiesto or something". It is true, success cannot be measured, but why not finish school and have something more secure?

Tattoos cold maybe be done as a hobby? I dunno. I just don't see someone buying a house, fixing up a car, and all that off Tattoo money. Just being honest. I mean Art is more of something people do on their free time. It is like singing, you can learn how to sing, but it isn't going to be the same as being born with the gift of singing. So that can be done on free time. Take it from me man, you should complete school. Because you aren't going to be able to do YOUR art, you are going to be doing OTHERS art. Meaning they are going to tell you what to do and they are going to want it a certain way too.>>

way to late for that man. this is gonna work out. when ur so passionate about something u dedicate every second of your life to it. theres no room to fail. tattooing isnt a hobby. its a career. the ones who do it as a hobby arent gettin anywhere with their lives.

That is true. There is no measure for success. Good luck with that.

Is this why you're selling the Turbo? Dude, just put it into a garage for a year, it's not worth the sale.

I happen to know a couple tattoo artists that are also airbrush specialists on the side...

Keep the Tangerine and do a phat design that reps the Tattoo Parlor...
