Gest Spot Artist:
❌️ Ashley Sweeter ❌️
1.Experience:
"I got into the industry in 2019. I been tattooing for about five and half years now. But I’ve been in the industry for 7 years."
2. Strengths /Accomplishments:
"I’m really adaptible. I can fit into any setting and I’m comfortable talking about anything. No conversation is left untouched. I’m proud of being resilent and pushing through tough or embarrasing situations. My biggest accomplishment so far is that my colleagues are my friends and I don’t feel like I have to change myself to be liked.
Comes with age I suppose."
3. Weaknesses:
"I tend to want people to be happier than me. Also I have a phobia of being bad company."
4. Fun Facts:
"I once totaled my parents car by accidently sh****ng in it because I ate soft bacon. Lesson learned, no more soft bacon. Also I love cold hot dogs. That’s a lot to digest sooooo" 🤣
5. Tattoo style/ specialties:
"I love almost every style. Anime, cartoons, anything nostalgic, fun, glittery, expressive. Neo trad is one of my favorite. I love tattooing stained glass that’s one of my signature styles and glitter elements. Both black and grey and in color. anything out of the ordanary."
6. Artistic influences:
"I went to a school where art class wasnt a thing in high school. I always wanted it. Not having art when my emotions where high made me teach myself without following rules.
being able to express myself in my art is the best translation of my emotions."
7. If you We’re not a Tattoo Artist, what else would you do? What did you dream of being while growing up?
"As a kid I wanted to be a marine biologist. Now I think I would of become an ocularist, making prosthetic eyes with funky patterns."
8. List family pets
"I have 2 dogs Louis the french bulldog and Rosie the border collie pit mix. I also have 2 cats Sasha and Raven, plus my husband Dale."
9. Favorite Hobbies outside of Work?
"I love playing video games, Dungeons and Dragons, and baking annnndddd drawing."
10. Pet-peeve with Client, What is something that drives you crazy that clients have done/ do?
"Hygieneeeee please shower 🥺 preferably before coming in. Late arrivals.
This last one can be harsh but I don’t want it to be perceived that way, having unrealistic expectations for a tattoo. With AI, clients can create images that are very unrealistic to what is possible in an actual tattoo and some believe that it can be done.
A part of our job is to educate and it’s very hard to explain what is possible and what is not when a client doesn’t want to stray away from their AI reference."
