Tattooing is from the street there’s no denying that, and that street culture is something you cannot fake a lot of new artists don’t have that background, but you can’t fault them for that you can’t make up or force culture but you can understand it. You can’t study it and you can respect it
If you’re a young tattoo artist, and especially if you’re from Los Angeles. You should know where this all comes from. You should read those books the interviews watch the documentary. Just like I did when I first started my tattoo career.
It really does give you a brand new perspective, and can inspire you to keep on, pushing the limits of this industry
