musings about learning to adapt my approach to tattooing through my neurodivergence, by learning how to curate systems that prioritize inclusivity, accessibility, leave room for self accommodation, and - to my best ability - avoid burnout.
Generally speaking, the usual advice you hear when pursuing a career in tattooing is find an apprenticeship (and good luck). While this is recommended, and absolutely one of the better ways of getting into the industry, it’s no secret that it’s incredibly hard to find an artist willing to take on the responsibility, regardless of your artistic talent. Personally, I was lucky enough to find an open door to the industry through a rather unexpected detour.
