you haz skillz .

Really, is being a tattoo artist a good job? How's the pay/social interaction/skills required et cetera?

i have to admit that i am confused a bit about how to answer this. especially how to answer without going off on some long drawn out semi-meaningless rant. but i will try.

for me it is the perfect job. i never thought about becoming a tattooer though. always just did what i did and what made me happy. i was always the weird guy, and i think art became my obsession; not just because it came somewhat easily to me. but i learned at an early age that artists, for whatever reason are allowed to be weird.

i was 20 years old before asperger's ever became a "thing", going from art for sanity, fun, and as a social tool to serving my apprenticeship and becoming a tattooer was just natural for me.

i am still horrible with people socially and work is really the only place i am somewhat social. i am still the one everyone thinks is weird... but again, it's a world that accepts that. alot of it is hard for me to articulate, but i do know it works for me. and my closest friend says it is the only time she sees me relaxed around people other than her and that it's the only time i "glow".

never understood that adjective for a person but what's new.

that sounds neat.
i meant how is the job? does it pay well? what sort of skills do you need? how much do you socially interract during it?

Wow you have a real talent. If I ever get a tat I'll call you.
