Chapter 36: Ink...

To Ink or Not To Ink is the topic of controversy these days...Tattoos have been around for centuries in one form or another. With today's culture gaining more and more interest in the world of tattooing it has become a widespread topic. You have those who feel that tattoos are hideous and that people with them will never be able to obtain a job or be able to accomplish anything for that matter. Then on the other side you have those who embrace individuality and do not judge nor base performance off of appearance. Needless to say you should already know on which side of the fence I stand...I find it to be so interesting how for instance if I walk into a classroom the professor seems to prejudge me by my appearance (very few cases). Then 30 minutes later I am answering all of his questions or engaging the classroom in a stimulating conversation of some sort. Honestly, I feel my tattoos will not/should not be a factor that will control nor determine what happens in my life. Its just ink guys...

When it comes to my style of tattoo work I tend to lean towards the black/grey really detailed pieces...or...the traditional Japanese full body pieces. I love when the work is clean and well defined(?)
I am also a huge fan of women with tattoo sleeves...I know the first thing you are thinking is that is so un-lady like but in reality it looks very nice when done properly.
