Just stoppin' in to say hello, My name is Krista and I'm an apprentice just startin' out my journey. I've been learning the ins and outs of the trade for the past 4 years out here and just love it. Nice to meet everyone and hope you have a great day! I have some of my work posted on my tumblr account if you wanna check it out, www.tumblr.com/frankentooth or a few pictures I've posted on here. :) - krista

I don't have television for the reason of shows like these. I'm still an apprentice, have been for the past 4 years and I know I may not know a whole hell of a lot yet but I try to read as much as possible, talk with older folks, and find as much as I can. I feel as though shows like this portray tattoo artists as a joke. They over dramatize the industry for ratings and make every viewer an expert on tattoos. I work with great people who've been tattooing for many many years and I respect the hell out of them and to see something that they've worked their whole lives for and that we all love shown as a high school sissy fighting contest I feel saddened. Not to mention that being as how people aren't exactly the smartest these days and no one tries to find anything out for themselves they just listen to the television.. we have a barrage of arrogant asshole customers thinking they know better than us and that everything should only take "15 minutes". This show is just another recycled piece of crap like all the rest, top chef,next top model, etc. My thought is if you don't like whats going on, than turn off the television once ratings go down things go away. Just my two cents. cheers, krista
