Money

If money was of no importance in this world, I would live out my life as a tattoo artist. I believe tattoos tell stories about the people they cover and to be able to help people express these stories would be amazing. I grew up around tattoo shops and artists because my father was always getting work done. When I was younger it used to be all the sketches and flipping posters that hung from the walls that caught my eye. I would sit there and look at everything I could get my hands on. As I got older, I became more fascinated with the whole process of transferring a design from paper to someone's skin. The fact that these artists get to use actual people as their canvases is astounding. They get to see hundreds of clients throughout their life and leave their mark on every single one of them.
I hope my choice in what I want to do will impact society. In this world we live in now tattoos and other body modifications are not widely accepted any professional setting. I would hope that my work would help open peoples eyes about the whole subject. I want to use my tattooing to show that not all people with tattoos are incapable of being decent people . 

Favorite Hobby

My favorite hobby has always been writing. When I was younger I used to sit down for hours at a time and just write away. I have stacks of old poems and short stories stuffed into every drawer in my dresser.  I never left the house without my favorite pen and a pad of paper. My goal in life used to be to become a best-selling author like James Patterson and Stephen King. I would write something, and then rewrite it, and again and again always looking for ways to improve. I have always been fascinated by how an author’s choice of words can affect a reader. I was once told that an author’s main purpose in writing is to evoke emotion; if their story cannot make the reader feel happy, excited , hurt, angry or even make them shed a tear , they have not done their job.  Sadly though, through the years I have lost touch with my imagination and I do not have the spare time to just sit down and write. Although I do not do it as often  it is still my favorite hobby and it always will be.
