Re-Birth in my life and Tattooing
Hello Everyone, and Thanks for looking at my weekly blog. In this blog I would like to talk about re-birth. I believe we all go thought death and re-birth while we live. And sometimes we don’t understand why we go through certain situations, we don’t understand why certain things happens to us. We can not understand why certain things don’t work out the way we imagined, however, everything that happens to us, is in order to make us evolve, and the universe will have to shift your life, move you out of somewhere where you are not supposed to be. The Universe will move people out of your life, in order to move you out of a situation where you would never prosper, people who are not meant to be in your life, life will detach you from them, and it all makes sense after.
We all die while we live, and the process of being re-born while we live it takes a lot out of us. Re-birth is a tough process to go through, and we should embrace it, and not try to deviate from it. The reason why is, because, the re-birth process happens to us in order to make us evolve.
I started tattooing in 2006, in Bury, and in 2009, I moved to Leeds, as I was looking to make progression in my tattooing career, and try to meet and work with artists. Moving to Leeds it allowed me to work with Tattooists who could draw and paint, so I would spend all da tattooing, drawing and painting at night. That had a really good effect in my career, inspiration wise, and learning wise. I thought Leeds was going to be a quick adventure, that only lasted a few years, I thought I would be out of Leeds in 3 years, but it ended up lasting 13 years.
I did have opportunities to leave Leeds before 13 years, however, I did not make decisions based on what was best for me, I made decisions based on what was best for me and others I worked with, and those who I worked with, were making decisions that was best for them. Anyway, you live and learn, and I’m glad I had that lesson earlier in life, and I evolved from it.
I feel like Leeds was a school for me, where I learned a lot, however, I feel blessed, that I was able to have the opportunity to start again, leave everything behind, and starting again, somewhere where it feels like home. Even knowing, I’m not born in the UK, when I first arrived to England in 99, I came straight to live in Greater Manchester.
Thank you Leeds for the lessons, and I understand that everything happened in order to make me evolve, I’m still going through a process of healing and moving on, as it was 13 years, however, I’m grateful that I’m having the opportunity to start again.
I feel like Manchester resonates more with my sort of work and style, and I feel like tattoo fans understand and appreciate my work in Manchester. I did have a good time also in Leeds, and I met some incredible people, who became my friends, however, for my tattoo career, Manchester is more in harmony with me as a person and an artist.
