Hi, I have found a few threads I am interested in so its time to un lurk before I go chat so....... a quick g'day to all from Queensland Australia. I am 42yr old mum of two grown young men. I found LST via You Tube and have watched some of the interviews, I will get to them all though. It was great to hear about their beginnings... I had some good belly laughs. I am mostly a clean skin for a few reasons one being I love the combination of clean skin and well placed large pieces whether they are ritualistic or arty. My most desired tattoos have a spiritual base so I have been in and out of quite a few tattoo studios looking for the right feel as well as seeking the right tattooist as far as skill goes too. Long story short I have progressed from thinking I would love to tattoo to knowing I do. I am a green tattooist who wants to focus on developing the ritualistic side of tattooing for myself and others who are like-minded regarding ritualising tattoos. I would love an apprenticeship in a busy studio however I live semi rural so the journey is slow working out things like that (I only mention that so you know where I am at re intro and will not mention the 'still needing training again' :P).

I have been looking for others interested in ritualising and the spiritual purpose tattooing also has.

Welcome El and enjoy the interviews....some more good ones in the pipes....

Good thing there are some good tattooers and shops where you are at and you can start getting tattooed by them!

Thanks for the welcome Lochlan,

Thanks for the positivity too I am sure I can find a good one if I look in other places. Decided a while ago that I should search for someone who does snakes well rather than waiting any longer to try and find a shamanic tattooist.

I was hoping to get to Surf n Ink this weekend to talk to a guy I found on line however alas this journey did not happen. Here is the tattoo of Jeremy Cook's that I liked.

Too bad you couldn't make it...t hopefully some LSTers went and well share their tattoos and pictures with us...

That would be great.

Still looking for the traditional and spiritual threads I saw the other day.
