Hi Pidjones, thanks for the welcome, and taking the time to check out my drawings.
The reason I left, is a combination of different things, but the main reason was that I wanted more stability for my children, and more time with them. The shop where I did my apprentice-time, had more tattooers than "work", so lots of long hours with little income. (and yes, that is part of the deal, but off course my responsibility as a parent is the biggest and most important deal :D )
The reason I'm getting back, is because "in my mind" I never really stopped, I was just making a choice that was right for my family that time, always knowing I would want to return. So here I am!
