OH MAN OH MAN TALK ABOUT HUMBLE BEGINNINGS First things first, I’m am so insanely grateful for every person along my journey in my career and passion for tattooing🥲 I remember wanting to give up in the beginning. To be completely transparent tattooing isn’t something I got right off the bat. (Maybe some of it had to do with my first apprenticeship being when I used to live at the boarder of Mexico and there was most certainly a language barrier with my first mentor. But don’t get it twisted I’m still forever grateful for he who goes by Ricky Papi Coco🏼) I was relentless, dedicated and determined. Committing to myself in knowing that my art skills would soon bleed into this new craft medium. “Hard work beats talent, when talent fails to work hard.” Obsession will beat talent every single time. You have to want to be better, You have to want it as badly as you want to breathe, To compete with yourself every single day. (Don’t go competing with other people, the more you focus on you, the faster you’ll evolve into what your own version of success is) I remember back in those days, having screen savers on my phone and Apple watch with quotes like “I have a dream and a vision that I follow like a religion”. It’s suuuuuupeer corny I know BUT it’s seeing messages like this all around you that you can’t help but encompass those words and beliefs. SO IF YOU’RE TRYING SOMETHING NEW KEEP FUCKING GOING BESTIE YOU GOT THIS SHIT {I mean fr fr tho look at this evidence if you want it you already got it, it’s only a matter of time before the universe catches up to your dreams} BOOKS OPEN JULY 26TH Don’t forget to sign up with your email to get the first updates, link is in bio Peace, Love and Positivity..spread that shit it’s free and feels GOOD #femaletattooartist #tattooprogress #progress #growth #boston #masstattoonetwork #massachusetts #femaleentrepreneur
