Ships of the Tattoo World

First up on my list of tattoos are the mystical and very classic ship tattoo. I am not to sure if I will ever be getting one of these tattoos frankly because I am not into the ocean nor have I ever been on the ocean/sea before. On the other hand I would love to work on my ship drawings especially old time wooden ships like pirate ships, this comes from my anime addiction. I have recently been watching One Piece and its about a young boy names Money D. Luffy who's goal is to be the King of the Pirates, he and his small but strong crew travel the rough pirate and marine infested oceans and seas on a very interesting pirate ship. The ship itself is not very detailed like the tattoos you would see on Marines or Sea going people, but it has been enough of an inspiration to make me want to work on my drawings. I have seen pirate ships, battle ships, yachts, and sail boats...I'd have to say that the pirate ships and Haunted ships catch my attention more mainly because I like the darker side of the history of ships. I also want to mention another anime "Soul Eater" where they mention the Black Dragon Nidhogg, I like how they incorporate this Norse dragon into being a haunted demon ship that takes souls of the people it encounters. I also like the story of The Flying Dutchman and many other Haunted ships. Not to forget the pirate ships that are famous through our history like Queen Anne's Revenge which was captained by the famous Blackbeard and the ship of Calico Jack the great The William.

Well I think its time I started posting more than just "ME"

I feel like I want to start posting about tattooing, I have such a high passion for this wonderful art that I wish to share my enthusiasm with everyone that takes a look at my blog. So here it goes, I think I might post once a week about a certain type of tattooing like special techniques or genres like Ships or Japanese Geisha styling.

New Mag

Yay I just got back from Wal-Mart with D and he bought me a new tattoo magazine. I am so happy that I got the newest issue but what would make me really happy would be the newest issue of Tattoo Flash, it's my favorite tattoo magazine out there. So ready to study up on new techniques and widen my drawing potential. Tattoo career here I come. Now I just need to get some tattoo gear together and start my non-professional apprenticeship with a friend of mine, but in order to do that I need to get myself a job even a part time job would do. I have to call a few places on Monday, I know I wouldn't mind going back to Sam's Club again. I was there for a complete year before I left and I loved working there but I left because they kept trying to make me do carts, I didn't sign up for that position. They didn't give me prior notice of what they wanted me to work that day because I came in wearing some slightly heavy jeans and a black t-shirt on a hot day where the temperature was 95+, they didn't even offer to let me go home and change when I only lived 5 mins. away from work. I felt very disrespected and disposable, but now I hear that the managers that wanted me to go outside have left the store. So I feel like if I were to go back I will not have the same problem, so here goes nothing.
