hey welcome to the forum. havent been here long myself haha. my cousin lives in sc.
id advise u dont ask too many questions about the techniques or learning the art as they have a professionals only policy in regards to talking about actually tattooing. and theres a pro section that u cant get in unless ur prove all ur legal papers etc. blah blah.
im in the same boat as you and im looking for an apprenticeship.
good luck mate
