Yes if I had an oz. Of the energy my girls 12 & 8 have it'd be incredible ! My oldest loves drawing and painting traditional roses, she's even almost got spit shading down, ha ha ! My youngest like drawing architectural renderings and princesses. Sometimes I make 'em a stencil and use that stencil glue and give 'em a temp. Tattoo and they last for a few days, they dig it. Such a blessing and inspiration though. Anyway thanks for the welcomes!!

Hey all I'm in the greater Sacramento area, been drawing all my life and getting tat toed for 20 years. Had to quit construction to take care of terminal parent. Because of this The past four years I've dedicated as much time as possible to tattooing starting with drawing and painting flash for the first three years and had a short apprenticeship, about eight month intensive including drawing, tattooing, and health procedures from a old friend now retired.I am Still working hard trying to stay within the respectful tRadition of early American tattoo etiquette. Am not at a shop but have a private studio where I work within my skill limits tattooing, and painting, continuing trying to find an open door to continue my apprenticeship, so much more to learn. I am a father and husband, leading a crazy life, busy from all directions. I love every aspect of tattooing and it's history. It is what I want to do for the rest of my days. Seems like a great site to be a part of, and hopefully meet some good friends. Than to all that make it so. Thanks, Este
