Journal #3

For the final stretch of volunteer time, I worked at Liquid Dragon Tattoo Shop in Downtown Asheville with a few of the artists there. William and Nate are the main 2 that I interacted with and both let me watch the tattooing process and had me work on the art skills that are needed to be a tattoo artist. I didn't have to clean or anything because the shop owner was nice enough to not take my volunteering for granted. I did get to interact with customers however and got to see how a tattoo shop works from a different perspective than I was used to, which was a great experience. I plan on finding an actual apprenticeship soon so that I can eventually work in a tattoo shop and hopefully own one.
