New member - from Denmark!

[Michelle]

Hi everyone!

I've been a member for a long time, so thought I'd become a bit more active.

Just a short introduction:

I'm a 24-year-old girl from Denmark, currently living in Australia! In Mid-December I'll go back to Denmark and in January I'll start a tattoo apprenticeship I was offered in August, just before I went to Australia.

I love tattoos (obviously!), piercings, do lots of drawing, reading, spend time with friends/family, meeting new people, experiencing new things, challenging myself..

I'm here to learn more about the tattoo "world" and meet people with the same passion for tattoos as I have :)

Not sure if I'm "allowed" to post any of my art (since I haven't seen anyone else do this), but figured it might make the introduction message more exciting - and I'm not showing it to get an apprenticeship, since I already have this..

Anyway, here's a few of my newest drawings:

Looks really good. Welcome.

Look through the threads...there is multiple for posting your own work. I am sure that people would love to see your stuff.

Welcome to the forum, your art is beautiful. Thanks for posting.

You're allowed to do whatever you want, as long as it's something you're not allowed to!

[Michelle]

Thanks guys!

Brock Varty: Maybe I'm just blind, but I tried searching for threads where people show their own art, but can't find any..

And Cultexciter: Makes sense :P lol.

@Michelle it would probably be easiest to upload all your work to your gallery. Oh and welcome to LST

Yeah, I saw that thread, but think I'll start by just oploading to my album. The thread you link to is more for art in general, I think :)

Welcome to LST. What tattoos you got?

So far I only have one feather on my forearm.. In the beginning of December I'll get a rose tattooed and then from January, when I start my apprenticeship, I'll hopefully also start getting more tattoos! :)

and then from January, when I start my apprenticeship

Well, congradulations on that!

[Michelle]

Thanks SStu! :) Very excited to start!

OK, I'll be the one to ask: You only have one tattoo and you're starting an apprenticeship?

[Michelle]

Yeah, I do :)

I know there's not a lot of tattoo artists who takes on apprentices without a lot of tattoos, and I hadn't counted on getting an apprenticeship as soon as I did (my plan was to improve my drawing skills and get more tattoos first), but then a really good shop close to my hometown put an add up, looking for apprentices.. Of course I had to apply, since it was a unique chance. Honestly I didn't think I'd get the apprenticeship - but I did and I'm extremely thankful for being given the opportunity to learn to tattoo by some great artists..

My coming mentor told me that I should be prepared to get more tattoos - and that's not a problem at all, I want lots of tattoos. I don't want to be one of those tattoo artists without tattoos!

Maybe it's different in Denmark - or maybe it's just the shop that I'll work in, but I know that the two former apprentices also started out with just a few tattoos (actually I think one of them didn't have any tattoos in the beginning), but both of them now have several bigger pieces.
