i was drawing since i was 5 but i got tired of the praises so i experimented on stuff that most people couldn't relate to. it seems to me that the purpose of drawing was to get people's attention. show people that you're good then float on their appreciation. i got over that so i stopped creating art for their tastes meaning i stopped pleasing my audience.
but the art of tattooing made me draw again. i could spend hours drawing on human skin because it involves respect. respect for the person you're tattooing so patience is key. i didn't have patience drawing on paper or canvas because of the reason i stated above. paper or canvas are disposable. it can be used for wrapping fish or a substitute for tissue paper. human skin is disposable too but you have to wait till he or she dies.
the second one i did was for bong. he's our friend way back during our 'sho-biz' period. i did some cover-up on the heart tattoo he got in prison. it was amazing how they did that tattoo. they used paperclip as needle and the black smoke from a candle as ink. it was crude but still great once you thought about how they did it.
i just added wings and a kris sword plus the name of her mom. here are some pictures...
