Ever finish a color piece you love, then try to do it again and it doesn't come out the same? “Was it the skin, or did I rush it?” “What if I just got lucky on the first one?” So after a full day of tattooing, you're up at midnight trying to figure out what changed. It wasn't luck. You did it by feel but never figured out why it worked. Then that piece brings in more color bookings. That means more nights like that and less of you left for home. Practice is always number one. But once you know why your color works, you can do it on purpose on the work you want to be tattooing for a lifetime. “Those who can, do. Those who understand, teach.” (Lee Shulman) That's the part I teach, after 23 years of doing it.
