Hello everyone, my name is Claire and I am a new tattoo artist currently working at Art Attack Tattoo in NC. I have been a body piercer for several years and have background experience in a pretty broad range of creative disciplines. I am thrilled to be tattooing, the owner of the shop I'm at (who has also been a great help and my primary mentor as I've been learning the ins and outs) switched to rotary machines about 3 years ago and I was very impressed. There seem to be so many very talented artists around this forum, it's taken me a little while even to post an intro, I'm so humbled by the brilliance! But I am here to learn and improve and am grateful to be here. Also, I'm having a little trouble posting; no problem on my iPod, but on the computer I get only the thread title box and no box to put the body of the post in, anyone have any idea what's going on with that? Thanks again, Cheers!
