A lot of tattoo artists have a great time poking fun at my writing, which is an easy thing to do! But the single most important thing they can't say anything about is my tattoos. It's ironic that I've looked at most of these Tattoo "artists" work and most of them really shouldn't be talking (or tattooing)!
It's true I'm only a novice writer, as my writing clearly demonstrates. But I'm a professional Tattoo Artist as my tattoos clearly demonstrate. And that is what my books are about, TATTOOING, NOT WRITING!
When looking over a tattoo book to purchase the most important thing to look at is the authors TATTOOS, not whether or not he has won any literary awards. Google their name and see what comes up. Put TATTOO after their name.
ANYBODY WHO WRITES A BOOK ON TATTOOS, I DON'T CARE HOW WELL IT'S WRITTEN, IF THEY CAN'T TATTOO OR DON'T MAKE THEIR TATTOOS AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO SEE, BE VERY CAREFUL! And really look at their tattoos. Are they good for someone who is still learning or are they professionally done?
