If you've "kinda" always wanted to be a tattoo artist, you don't have the drive to get through the apprenticeship either. You should probably stick with drawing.

I'm intending to get a half sleeve, shoulder to elbow, on my right arm. Tiny little tattoos like rubber stamps just look so ugly IMO.

Not sure what I want though. I love tribal because of its bold intricacy, but the regular spiky Celtic-influenced swirly lines are just so overdone. Right now I'm leaning towards a lizard - an important animal to me - done with plain black ink, climbing up from my elbow onto my shoulder. Details would have cogs and serrated cog-tooth edges to the shapes, for my love of Victorian industry, and the aesthetic detail it would provide.
