My name is Louis Moore am i am currently in Baghdad, Iraq. I have over 14 tattoos and have been drawing for years. I have always been interested in being a tattoo artist, but never took the time to get the equipment or learn. I met a guy a couple of weeks ago who does tattoos out here, and it got me itching to start inking. So i ordered a couple of kits. I receive my kit a few days ago and did my first tattoo on my roommate. I truly understand the process of an apprentice and realize that is the best way to go about learning to tattoo. i also know that tattoo artist that have been doing this for a while will look at me as one of the many scratches, but how many tattoo artist do you know that have actually had a apprintenship? I believe i can with time and the proper research and practice becomes an awesome tattoo artist. I am serious about becoming a well respected tattoo artist and am here to learn.

you could practice on oranges rather than your friends because if you foul thier skin up they wont be your friend for long or you should have got some practice skin in your kits use that and keep practice till its right before you tattoo any more of your friends and make sure your tubes and neddles are clean and sterile before you use them on any body good luck
