Icedexta

Hi! Haven't been here in what seems like forever.. Sorry about that! I'm now working as a fulltime tattoo artist in Steinkjer, and that takes just about all of my time! I have an instagram profile where i post lots of photos of what i tattoo and draw though, so please visit me there if you wanna see what i've been up to. My nickname is the same as in here; icedexta. I also wanna see your profile if you got one! :D See you there! -ida

I just realized.. I'm not good at updating my journal.. :p I still work as a tattoo apprentice in Steinkjer, Norway. I got my own machines and I have finally started tattooing other people in the studio (X3M tattoo) after over a year. It's really scary, but at the same time loads of fun! Really different from drawing or painting, so i kinda have to learn to draw all over again. And you can't exactly use an eraser if you make a bad line.  But I'll get used to the machines eventually, no bloopers yet and i hope it'll stay that way! I also established a fanpage for my art on Facebook to spread the word and get some more commissions to pay my
