Ive been apprenticing under a couple of artists out here in japan for a while. but at the location im at, it is really hard to find a good artist here. im not too interested of learning traditional Japanese tattooing do to the technicalities of the art form. i like to think outside of the box, and love the opportunity to do a custom piece. I'd love to take a stab at trying out for an apprenticeship for AON , so i might just email or call the place. but being that im in japan (i have American citizenship) there is still problems on finding living over there. Considering the vast amount of people that must flock to you all for apprenticeship, you must have a large amount of talented artists to choose from. ill work hard this year and send you all my portfolio once im done with it. im picky and i never am satisfied with it.
