Re: Advice for a tattoo artist with Christian family
Best advice I can give is... Push yourself to be great and you can make them see that tattooing is a valid artform.
My dad was happy me and my bro started tattooing but used to say how he wished we did disney movies or comicbooks or painting... He didnt have much of a respect of the artform until we got a lil better. And the better we get the more he's proud our our "artwork".
Pretty mucxh the same with everyone including co-workers at my day job... they kinda look funny when you tell them you tattoo, and I usually show them the work of people like Bond, Hurtado, Devries, Tyrrell etc, which helps them understand that "tattoos" arent just doodles on people skin but real f'ing art
