Tattoo Firsts

hi I’m at the international tattoo
festival with Jimbo from lark tattoos
was the first tattoo that you ever got
the first touch where ever got was
actually the first tattoo ever did yeah
it was only 17 when it started where
we’re from in the US you have to be 18
to get tattooed and I don’t know I just
I always kind of wanted to draw for a
living you know so tattoos just seemed
like a good idea and you know you really
can’t practice on other people I guess
the Hugh first start this is not easy
that was the first person that you
tattoo the first customer that you
tattoo nervous so how many people did
you tattoo before you really got
comfortable probably 40 50 tattooing is
all confidence and experience so it
takes a bit and did you learn how to
draw first and then applied to tattooing
or did you learn
I could always draw this isn’t something
to feel you should do if you’re not
naturally I don’t think it’s something
you really can’t learn what would you
say is the most usual tattoo or the kind
of predominant theme in tattooing right
now these days nautical stars are very
popular rib pieces these days – it used
to be you know a few years ago was all
girls with lower backs back in the day
you know it’s all calves and arms these
days it seems to be ribs I don’t get it
because that hurts that’s what I heard
it so you can put a ribs hurt kids to
get that first tattoo they don’t know
what they’re getting into
