      I can definitely show techniques and pointers, just know it’ll be things that have worked for me personally but I’m open to showing what I know

    You’re so inspiring 💓 I was also going the nursing route because I’m Filipino & my mom wanted me to be in the med field lol. Started tattooing during covid as a side hustle & haven’t stopped since. Keep it up 💯🤞

    This video was everything i needed! I googled what tat artists need to work but that still doesn’t specify where to start 😭. This answered every question, anxiety and i get to hear it from a black womans perspective. This was the first vid of my tattoo youtube deep dive and im so excited to know that it was your first step too. Thank you!

    I wish you could teach me the different needles bc I’m just now learning and it get kinda crazy lol. I just know you can line and shade. Not really into the shading yet until I get my lines straight straight but I do need a little guidance 😩

    Thanks for posting this. I recently switched from a psych major to a studio art major and have been looking for things I could do with that. I was thinking of becoming a video game artist, but it was mostly an "I know I need a degree for that and I like games" rather than something that actually made me excited to get my degree. I love tattoos and as soon as I have the extra money I plan to get a couple that I've thought out heavily with a lot of meaning. I also have some silly ones lined up.
    It's always nice to see marginalized people who are self-taught cause I'm disabled and queer, which a lot of alternative spaces aren't super welcoming to. I think I'm starting to see a bit of a professional future for myself again after not really knowing where I was headed for a few years. Definitely gave me some ideas to get ahead while I'm in college too.

    I love your advice. Definitely some humbling advice. I appreciate how you spoke about being humble amongst other artists especially in a tattoo environment it's pretty damn amazing that you're aware in that way

    I never knew that you were from North Carolina,cause I have been following you for awhile. And I agree with you that Greenville is the worst place to try to get on as a tattoo artist of color. Cause I’m still trying to get my license and certification. You definitely a motivation to me. I appreciate you and I think we both know that shop has its picks. Cause that same shop turned me down and I know that one day I will be bigger than them.

    Hey so I know you keep mentioning that you are completely self taught. I'm curious, throughout your journey from shop to shop and with losing your mentor at that one shop, did you ever actually receive your tattoo license from any of the shops?

  • @demetriahardy6561

    I’ve been practicing for the past year. Being nervous making me not do real skin yet but I told myself next month January I will dedicate my thy to doing my first real person until I’m comfortable outside of the fake mats then I will move on to others. Love to see self fraught black artists. I follow a couple UA-cam guys that have had me on point learning with structure to become a tattooist.

    Thank you for your amazing story. I can relate my experience with yours in some level. I was always art orientated person. I started my tattoo path in 2020 with stick and poke. My first tattoos I did on fake skin and on myself. At the moment I do tattoos on some of my friends. I do a lot of online courses. Thanks to people like you I believe I can become professional tattoo artist. You're very inspiring. All the best

    Omg girl this is so inspiring. I’m working on becoming a TA and I’m from Greenville. How bout I was at the shop the day that fight broke out! 😂🤣🤦🏾‍♀️. I said aht aht! But I want to specialize in color on dark skin. I majored in art, and have a degree in art education. I’m done with education and ready to be in business for myself. Thank you for this!
