Hello World!

[PrimalZen]

I've been an illustrator for nearly 20 years and now I'm running away from the world of commercial art and making the move into tattooing. 

Hopefully I don't annoy people because I have MANY questions. I've included a couple of my illustrations.

Those are great! I wonder if its ever too late to start drawing? I'm 31, feel like that boat has sailed for me.

Haha yeah I guess you're right. When I got tattooed on thursday me and the artist was just shooting the shit, and she told me she knew a guy who started tattooing at the ripe age of 35, and he was doing rather well these days. I love stories like that, so inspiring! 

Sorry, won't hijack your thread any more now OP!

Thanks guys. It's never to late to start. Im 42 and I'm making the switch. 

 

it's not going to be easy BUT totally worth it.

I got my first tattoos within the last year and a half - both at age 61.

For now - working on what to do next and who to do it. I'm in no rush at this point - still working as president of a small college so I'm slowly shocking my board of trustees. :-)
