“KNOWLEDGE IS FOR THOSE WHO SEEK IT”

The best way to learn a craft is to go to the source, and for my boy mark from Canada was just the thing.  He comes once a year to the Lowrider Tattoo Studio just to be in the front to soak up as much knowledge as possible while enduring hours of agonizing pain gathering strength from deep within with the end goal in mind.  This is a perfect example of determination, Determination to learn.

Seek your knowledge in observation.
Know friendship to be the truest bond of all,
Near perfect is Love platonic in essence.
Within nature perceive the friendship of all,
For all. Friendship can be Death in a lovers guise.
Don’t let it come as a surprise to you when you
Find your heart broken in parts, buried beneath
The steeples you have erected in Honour of your Love.
Bonds without friendship are as shackles.
Seek a stranger of sympathetic intellect.

We encourage all tattoo artist who are just starting out to do the same as our friend Mark to come in and get tattooed for it is the best way you can learn.  By being in the front seat not only watching but also by feeling the process and asking as many question is the beginning of your way to the top.

“When you know a thing, to hold that you know it, and when you do not know a thing, to allow that you do not know it: this is knowledge“
