I've been working as a Tattoo Apprentice at the local shop; it's been busy, with 11-hour workdays. It's challenge, but I really enjoy it. I've done a few tattoos, and did one on myself today. It's like relearning how to do art. The things you're taught in illustration? Do not apply at all to tattoo-art. I'm a better artist than the guys/girl in the shop, but don't have the technical skill to show it off on skin yet. It's frustrating, watching them draw anatomically incorrect pin-ups and portraits.

And I can't say anything about it. URGH.
