share the same passion and it makes you feel like a family. The only negative thing I can say, is that people try to compete in a negative way, when instead we should be trying to gain motivation and knowledge from one another. Do you find time for painting? When I decided I wanted to expand more into the color tattooing world a bit, I relied on painting to learn a lot before I put it to skin. I have always loved just drawing with pencil and charcoal, but have found a new love in painting. So yes, I most certainly find time for anything that helps progress my tattooing. Do you have any big projects you’re working on, or plan on starting in the near future? Yes! I am fortunate to be at a point in my career where I mostly do large scale tattooing. At the moment I have several projects I am working that should be done by the beginning to middle of next year! If you’d ever like to see the progress, I give little bits and pieces of them on my social media sites. IG: @tattoosbygonzo [email protected] 81
