I feel like im the only bum down here on skid row(basic member)...its always been that way ever since I was born., dragged up on a council estate in the west end of Newcastle..but I was blessed with a natural talent to draw. ..my passion for tattoo art started at 8 years old when my brother (10years my senior) came home one day with his first tattoo and I was hooked on the look and feel of the ink..i got my first tattoo at 17(1997) but for some reason not long after I fell out of love with tattoos...think it was because they started to become like a fashion statement..(I blame david beckham..haha) fast forward to 2018, sadly my brother passed away suddenly aged 46 and in my despair and time of grief I started drawing again and ignited my passion again for this art form..wich has led me on my journey of becoming a tattoo artist.. Im not in it for the money, I just want to create art and leave a little piece of me behind after im gone..plus if I can get paid doing what I love its a bonus.. i know its not much to go premo but universal credit doesnt stretch to far when youve got 3 kids...im just waiting for my real life to begin. Im 40 this year and you all know how the saying goes...ill earn my place in the world of tattooing..so watch out for the name "Mucky Micky" (might have to change that like) .,.one thing im gonna promise is, the first paid tattoo I do I will donate to this site cos its worth its weight in gold... Much love...,Micky C
