Me And The Tattoo Gun

When I was little , I always liked art . I loved colors , lines , and  shapes  too .  My favorite subject and classes was always art . This is how my dream of being a tattoo artist begun .
    Tattoos fascinated me since I was little . I would always trace the lines on my mom’s tattoo of a rose that has my name, Alycia , on it . In my pocket , I carried 50 cent with me all the time so I could get a temporary tattoo from the machines at the store . I loved those tattoos so much , the sparkles and the intricate lines swirled all around the deep colors .
    Every day when I come home from school , the first thing I’d do is draw a new tattoo, and try my best to find new ways to add to them . Being asked by many people to draw tattoos for them is not my favorite thing to do . But my favorite thing to do , is to draw the tattoos on them ! This is why it’s so hard to keep myself from writing on my skin . I always draw on myself in school , it’s a habit I refuse to break . Honestly , I could care less if I got ink poisoning  .  Plus , it’s awesome practice , without the tattoo gun , to write on my skin . It’s the best canvas !
    My first goal as a teenager  , is to go to a tattoo shop and meet all the people who work there . Getting to know what it feels like to be in a shop is another thing that I could add on to my experience . Maybe even feel what the ink gun feels like when it is turned on . I wonder if you have to be strong to gold the ink gun ? Is it heavy or does it vibrate while you give the tattoo ?  I need these questions answered so I can be prepared . Also , I need to keep exercising my drawing skills so my portfolio will be the best , and I can be accepted for the job .
    My second goal is to graduate college and get an apprenticeship so that I can learn from a professional tattoo artist ! This guy  or girl will teach me  all I need to know about becoming a tattoo artist myself ! My apprenticeship really won’t end until he teacher tells me that I’m ready to work in a shop . So the more experience I get the better I’ll be !
    I can’t wait until this day comes . But until then I guess I’ll have to work on my portfolio of art . I hope I can give my friends some tattoos also !
