Saint: We have seen in your bios and other interviews that you were drawing on people when you were around 5. Megan Jean: Yea, I was getting kicked out of nursery school and daycare because I would always paint someone from head to toe. I would get them naked and if there were stamps or markers or face paint or anything, yea, and in high school I was doing full sleeves and back pieces. I didn’t know tattooing was even a job or an option, I just loved drawing on people. S: Was it something you kept up with or did you get away from it for a while and come back to it?

I just kept bartending because jobs didn’t look fun at all sitting in a cubicle behind a computer and that was when I heard some guy tell my boyfriend, because he was a tattooer, that he better watch out if she ever becomes a tattooer because I was painting a mural and he said it was good and in that moment I said I’m gonna learn how to tattoo. 123
