Why I Wrote Drawn to Tattooing – The Story Behind the Book

I never set out to write a book. I set out to change lives.

For years, I watched talented, passionate people struggle to break into the tattoo industry—not because they lacked skill but because they lacked opportunity, guidance and access to real education.

I’ve been there myself. I know what it’s like to be met with resistance, to be told you’re not good enough, to be shut out of an industry that thrives on exclusivity. I also know what it’s like to push past those barriers and make a dream reality.

That’s why I wrote Drawn to Tattooing. This book is for the dreamers, the artists, the outsiders. It’s for anyone who has ever wondered, “Can I really do this?” and just needed someone to say, Yes. You can.

If you’ve ever wanted to become a tattoo artist but didn’t know where to start, this book is for you.
