Hey everyone, just wanted to what's up. I've been reading quite a bit of the topics the past couple days and must say i'm learning a ton. I never really did a proper apprenticeship. I guess you could say most of what I have learned, I've had to learn on my own and it makes it really difficult. The dude that was apprenticing me was sort of a joke. I mean its bad when i knew more than he did. I really don't understand it, because his mentor is phenominal. So basically my apprenticeship was about 7 months of tracing outlines, setting up and breaking down. After that I was handed a machine and told to do a tattoo on him. He apparently liked it because I got a station. I know my stuff is crap compared to the levels I see on here. My bng is pretty solid, but color work is far from par. I look forward to learning what I can and helping where I can. I know enough about machine building to be able to put one together and tune it. Just from reading a few post I have already learned alot, that actually made sense as to why my techniques lack.....

Anyway just wanted to give a little rundown about myself and say Hi....
