Personal Thoughts From Justina:
When I first decided I wanted to be a tattoo artist, I wasn't sure where to
start. So, I tried not to focus so much on the 'HOW' I was going to fulfill
my dream, but the dream itself.
The first tattoo I did on someone else was quit an adventure! First I needed a needle. I had no jigs and no needle making experience. Again, I didn't worry about 'HOW' I was going to make the needle I just went ahead a started making one. It took about 6 hrs but we finally did make a needle and I completed the tattoo.
The moral of this story is if you want something, create it for yourself. Don't wait around for someone else to do it for you because chances are it ain't gonna happen.
I have a lot of people to thank for helping get to where I am and I acknowledge their help and support everyday.
