George burchett flash dragon done by Cheyenne Sawyer at Atlas Tattoo in Portland

I got it done at Atlas Tattoo in Portland Oregon by Cheyenne Sawyer. I'm not really learning under anyone, just getting tattooed and learning by doing.

I'm 18 years old and in the San Francisco Bay area. I started tattooing only a year ago but I have drawn and painted my whole life, and hope to turn tattooing into my career. For the last year I've done a bunch of research on the history of tattooing, but I want to learn as much of it as I can. My favorite tattooer through out history is George Burchett. Im very interested in American Traditional tattoos, as well as Japanese tattoos.

My first tattoo was a Pinup girl riding on the atomic bomb on my ribs, since then I have a George burchett style dragon flash tattoo on my arm as well as a tiger and the sailor jerry hula girl. I've tattooed my own leg with ed hardy flash, a traditional cobra design I drew, and a lame outline of california on my ankle (the first one I did on myself...we all make mistakes right?)

just came here to learn more about the history of tattoos and connect with the community.
