Never been as nervous as I was tattooing my 1st ever paying client, he traveled 2 and half hours to come to me. I did a post what ive taken down on selling site, stating I am self taught artish and only had 10 months experience at the time, on mats and a few family members. I offered my services at 150 quid day rate ( average in uk is 500) so I was cheap qnd looking for experience..
I design a whole leg sleeve front an back for my 1st paying client.. I was bricking it..
But these are my 1st.. im about 15months into tattooing. Ive stopped tattooing human skin until im happy with my mats.. I don't want 2 be a scratcher. I am licensed and my house is licensed. But there you go, that's my whole journey so far.
