Greetings from Vienna!
My name is Sabine, as mentioned above I live in Vienna.
Since my daughter is in school she always asks me to draw pictures for her or help with drawings in her homework. Many of her friends ask me to draw glitterpen-tattoos on them and the kids are always colourful like fairys when I'm done with them. Friends often came to me for henna paintings. Talking to someone on the telefone always makes me drawing little pictures while listening. There are alot of situations where drawing makes me calm and helps me get through stressy days.
One day someone suddently asks me why I'm not drawing on skin for real Tattoos. I had no answer first, the next thing I got was a Tattoo-Starter-Kit for x-mas. And thats where the real story starts.
Spending alot of time with reading about tattoos and skin, drawing alot of pictures and watching videos is where I started.
Several pigskins got pigmented already - I always have some in the fridge. After a year of pigskin I made some tattoos on friends - and they were happy with my work so far. I have no studio to learn at - I'm in a fulltime job to pay the rent for me and my daughter so my freetime is very small. Working in a studio is not where I want to end up cause of the time I wont be able to spend. But drawing is what I need to be happy with myself.
For some it's a job, some people might think on getting rich - for me
Tattooing is a gift.
It's a chance to give something special to someone who is special for me.
I'll post some pictures later today.
