What I've learnt today: Some people can be extremely judgemental. My partners eldest niece told me tonight that she wants to be a tattoo artist and seeing some of her drawings by hand I can see why.... I mean she is a brilliant artist! Her work is clear, bold and beautiful.
And yet as she was sitting at the dining room table with me drawing designs after dinner, she had her grandma, and another of her uncles sitting at the table lecturing her in how she didn't want to be a tattoo artist, how she didn't want to poison people's body's, and the fact that tattoo artists don't earn much. They kept going with the barb that "your a smart girl. You should do something with it"....
Or the other one "I wish you spent as much time on science as you do on your drawing"
Her grandmother's argument was that her husband regretted getting his tattoos.
But that is not a good reason to discourage someone from doing something they love and are good ... No BRILLIANT at!!!
If drawing makes her happy then fantastic it should be encouraged.... Her free hand drawings off images are amazing....
Even if my partner are the only people in his entire family to encourage her then that's fine... I will happy support her choice because if she can wield a tattoo gun as well as she draws she'll have no problems owning her own parlour....
Don't EVER let anyone discourage you from your dreams if it's what you really want... Go for it! You CAN do it! You are everything that you need... :) And stop procrastinating... Just take that one small step to get started and you've tackled one of the single most hardest barriers on your way to success and that is simply getting that start!!!
