if you wanna learn how to tattoo, get mike devries dvd, nikko hurt ado, alex de pase and just soak in as much knowledge needed, don't listen to these EGO FILLED tattoo artist tryna keep secrets. 9 out of 10 are complete ASS anyway. Even MIKE DEVRIES explains in his tattoo dvd and not to mention, HE PUTS ALL THESE TATTOO ARTIST TO SHAME , he's a MASTER! he explains why its important to share the information with ANYONE who wants to learn! You can LITERALLY visit his shop, and if he is there tattooing, you can ask him to sit in on a session and watch! TALK ABOUT GREATNESS! If any tattoo artist out there tells you, GET AN APPRENTICESHIP AND EARN YOUR WAY TO BECOME A TATTOO ARTIST....ummmm... tell them to die! TATTOO ON AND DO YOUR THING PEOPLE AND IF YOU WANT TO LEARN THEN JUST JUMP IIN AND START USIN FRIENDS AS TEST DUMMIES, alex de pase taught HIMSELF! so in simpler form...a big FUCK OFF TO those with the tattoo ego
