^ I also want to become a tattoo artist, need to find an apprenticeship. I was told to get a gun myself, some practice pads and teach myself somewhat via books--my mum's bf has connections, so hopefully it'll work out.
I've been drawing since the age of 11--when I realised I could--and since then, it's just been one of my favourite things in life. Art, that is. I have various favourite artists that I find all over the place. I prefer contemporary, surrealism, illustrative and tattoo art, to be honest, portraits, paintings and line drawings also. I
adore comic book artwork. I did buy some to see what they were like, but got more captivated by the drawings, ha! (To be honest, I got confused with the X-Men story plots, Wolverine was good, though)
I was in Gifted and Talented at school, did Art for my GCSE and got an A. Won a design challenge at London's Design Museum in 2005, I think it was. I'm doing my 2nd year studying Art at college (though I'm thinking of dropping out) I'd wish to focus on the tattoo side of things, and wouldn't mind becoming a commission artist along with that.
I have some of my work on

http://linziskyjartblog.tumblr.com - I haven't updated either with recent work--my scanner is being a douche right now, and I need a top quality camera if I'm going to take pictures of art, right?! :) If anyone wants to add me to those? x'D!
