A Little Video About Me and My Tattooing JourneyHi, I’m Kirsty, and I call London my home. I’ve always been an artist at heart—whether it’s drawing, painting, or sewing, creating is a part of me. But there’s something uniquely powerful about tattooing that draws me in. The way it transforms not just skin, but confidence and self-expression.At one point, though, I almost gave up on that dream. I was frustrated with the results I was getting. My machine ended up collecting dust in a cupboard, and I thought maybe tattooing just wasn’t meant for me.In 2023, I decided to channel my creativity into a different path and became a pastry chef. It was rewarding in its own way, but deep down, I still missed tattooing. I found myself watching endless videos, trying to learn, trying to find a spark again. Eventually, I bought myself a new wireless machine, hoping things would be different—but I still wasn’t getting the results I wanted.Then one day, my partner messaged me, telling me to check my email. He had signed me up for a 30-day tattooing course. I clicked on the first video and immediately knew—this was it. The lessons were clear, practical, and full of real value.Ben, the teacher—a straight-talking northerner—just gets it. He knows what it takes to break through, and for the first time, I felt like someone was showing me the way.I started practising every single day, even after college. My progress was unreal. I showed some of my work to my chef lecturer, and he said he’d never seen me so animated. He told me to follow it—life’s too short not to chase what lights you up.So here I am—back on the path I thought I lost, machine in hand, and more inspired than ever. 🖤
