i sense you need to acquire some humility. it really is the best way to learn.

true. if he wasn't asking such elementary questions about tattoos we probably would have reacted a bit better. Sorry, kid, but in the field of ink, you ask stupid questions - you get a raft of shit.

Dude, I wouldn't fuck around with the machine. I would give it to some youth that is much more serious about getting into an apprenticeship than you are.

don't listen to him, if you get rid of it SELL IT.

practice on pigs.. dead alive whatever floats your boat but dont be stupid and fuck your shit all up trying to learn to tattoo... once you get good on pigskin then move to your own body.
