Hey guys, I wanted to share another weekly win of mine So, I got some time to myself and took a little vacation. I drove down to Whistler from Kamloops BC to go get myself a tattoo!! And the best part about it was… It was done by the amazing person that runs this group! @Steve Kretz so not only did I get a beautiful tattoo but I got the opportunity to watch and learn a few things in person which was such an amazing experience. I am so beyond grateful that I am this lucky to be somewhat local compared to quite a few of you guys in here, to be able to get some in person training. It was great to be able to see his work done in person, and have many hours of sitting and talking about tattoos. And many more hours to come!!!!! It was around 15 hours so far, two full days. To my surprise I sat very well. This is only my second big tattoo but third tattoo in total. I have wanted this tattoo for a very long time but never found the right artist to do it until Steve. And what a wonderful choice because it is already looking flippin wicked and I can’t wait to get more done!! What an amazing time I had. I have never been to whistler so it was very nice to get out of my home town and see something new. And it was nice to sit and relax for a bit and get some work done on me instead of me doing the tattoos. And to have the chance to sit and talk with Steve. I feel like I learned so much in just two days compared to when I was in a shop for two weeks so I am really excited to do my next tattoo because I feel like it’s going to be a game changer all because of Steve!! Thank you so much Steve for this experience. I couldn’t have asked for a better artist!! I’m looking forward to the next session already!!!
