From quite a young age I was always interested in tattoos. All my uncles had them, and I remember being told stories about how they came to get each tattoo. I was very artistic at school and started getting tattooed at a young age. I tried to go to college to improve my artistic skills, but further education wasnt for me. So I decided to look for an apprenticeship in tattooing. I never imagined how difficult getting an apprenticeship could be. I got turned away from shops, hung-up on when I called and even laughed at. People just didnt want to help me! Finally, after many knock-backs, I was taken on at a studio in Ashford. I spent a while at this studio and did nothing more than make needles and cups of tea! I was learning absolutely nothing about tattooing but it did help me learn about how the shop was run! I worked at Diamond Tattoos in Bracknell. ive worked at a few parlours in between, but i feel i finally found my place at Tattoo uk Uxb working for Alan Dean, If your ever in Uxbridge pop in and say hi.
