Rookie Tattooer and Collector

[Reagle]

I'm 18 years old and in the San Francisco Bay area. I started tattooing only a year ago but I have drawn and painted my whole life, and hope to turn tattooing into my career. For the last year I've done a bunch of research on the history of tattooing, but I want to learn as much of it as I can. My favorite tattooer through out history is George Burchett. Im very interested in American Traditional tattoos, as well as Japanese tattoos.

My first tattoo was a Pinup girl riding on the atomic bomb on my ribs, since then I have a George burchett style dragon flash tattoo on my arm as well as a tiger and the sailor jerry hula girl. I've tattooed my own leg with ed hardy flash, a traditional cobra design I drew, and a lame outline of california on my ankle (the first one I did on myself...we all make mistakes right?)

just came here to learn more about the history of tattoos and connect with the community.

Hey, welcome. I like that dragon, where did you get it done? And who are you learning under?

I got it done at Atlas Tattoo in Portland Oregon by Cheyenne Sawyer. I'm not really learning under anyone, just getting tattooed and learning by doing.
