Hey guys! My name is Steph, and I'm an ultra-noob. I work full-time at a shop in Sarasota, FL called A Body of Art. Only been tattooing for 2 years now, and played with some rotaries a few times. A friend of mine suggested I come check this place out when I was seeking some advice. Looks like you guys have a lot of great info to share, and I look forward to learning from you all. I've almost exclusively used coils since I started, but I'm really interested in taking a dip in the rotary pool. I'm looking for a well-made machine to get me going, but I'm also not ready (or able) to shell out $500+ right now. I've gotten some tips to check out the Neotats, but if anyone has any other suggestions I'm all ears!

I'm still working on getting some photos up in my albums, but hopefully I'll have those going by the end of the day. In the meantime, if you want to check out any of my work you can find it on www.facebook.com/stephwhiteart feel free to critique! Aside from tattooing I really love good beer, drawing, and painting. Graduated from Ringling College of Art & Design (BFA in Illustration) right when I finished up my apprenticeship, now just struggling to pay back my student loans! But I definitely can't imagine another way I'd rather be doing it.

Thanks for looking, cheers!
