hello all. i’m an art school dropout from baltimore (too expensive!), still passionate about art and painting in particular and thoroughly fascinated by tattoos. I’m 20 years old and when i was 19 i got a small tat on my wrist inspired by my grandfather – just the cursive text “stubborn rebel” which was painted on his plane in the Air Force during the Korean War. he was probably the best, most principled man i ever knew and always stuck to his beliefs although he was sometimes irritatingly obstinate. (a quality i sometimes have as well). anyway, i’m hoping to get an Alphonse Mucha-inspired half sleeve as soon as i have a decent amount of money saved up. looking forward to getting to know you all and this forum 🙂
