[25:53] “It’s offered me to look at tattooing as a means to become a more mature, responsible person, a better communicator, and someone who’s less afraid and willing to take on more risks.”
— Patrick Paul O’Neil
When someone commits to personal growth and development, it often carries over into their professional life. By striving to become a more mature, responsible person, one can also become a better tattoo artist. As a tattooer, you are responsible for creating permanent artwork on someone's body, which requires a high level of trust and communication.
Taking on more risks is another aspect of growth. As a tattoo artist, it can be easy to fall into a comfort zone and stick with what is familiar. However, by challenging oneself and taking on new and more complex designs, an artist can push themselves to become better and more versatile. This willingness to take risks can lead to new opportunities, collaborations, and building stronger connections with your clients.
