I share your wish, believe me! If i have anything to do with it, more tattoo artists will learn. I want to teach other tattoo artists how to take on this approach and how to improve their work. One of my dreams is to start a school, community or movement of tattoo artists that approach tattooing this way and support each other and work towards further improving the art through their contribution. I am working on a presentation to educate the public about how and why tattooing should be valued and approached as a healing art. I am starting a series of paintings (the first one is finished-falcon) on animal spirits. I am hoping these paintings help communicate the way I see and value life and also how I approach my tattoo sessions. The dots and patterns that I put into my art is not just to look pretty but to communicate that there is more than what meets the eye and we are all more than who we think we are.
