I'm now at a new shop!!!

Sun Sep 27, 2009, 8:06 AM
I just moved yesterday to Bad Kitty tattoos in gatineau. I ran around most of the day getting stuff for my booth. I painted it purple!! yay!

The owners and staff are really great! They took me out to dinner to welcome me into the bunch. I already have a few tattoos lined up! This is going to be awesome!

I'm really excited to learn new things and just go with it.

Just wanted to say...YAY!

Hey, i was wondering, whats it like being a tattoo artist?

Because thats a lot pressure someone is putting on you to give them an awesome tattoo, and I don't think i could handle that :P

sorry about the vagueness, but i am genuinely interested.

I'm a fairly new arist. I find the job challenging and rewarding. It takes an eye for detail, concentration and little room for error. It can be stressful at times. Working on new areas of the body or sometimes the ink doesn't go in how you like can be difficult. I'm just happy to be able to live a life of art.
:iconlewbutcher:
I suppose thats all every artist can hope for :)

I've just been watching stuff like miami ink on youtube and i thought 'that must be some crazy pressure' but i havent ever met a tattoo artist to ask them.

so thanks for answering my question. Plus i like your gallery.

No problem.. I'm glad you found it a decent answer!

I never watch those TV shows...I find they don't give a realistic view of what it is really like...

Thank you for the compliment on my gallery!
