Learn Moreabout PBS online sponsorshipm Kevin Pendleton, and I a professional tattoo artist.
m out of Duluth, Minnesota.
And m out of Duluth, Minnesota.
I am into a lot of the dark art.
I have a firm belief that it gonna be coming back into - like - style; into popularity.
It very popular everywhere around the world besides America but it slowly starting to creep into larger cities.
(soft music) I like high contrast in my art and so that gives it that dynamic that it needs to be impactful and bold.
And you know - just visually aesthetically pleasing to me, and it's so awesome that other people like it too - you know.
(soft music) My whole life ve had a butt chin, and I've been really insecure about it.
So, like, since I was in like eighth grade - ninth grade - I've been growing hair to try and cover it up.
Up until about two years ago when I got my face tattoo done it gave me my self-confidence and self-esteem back.
And so now I want to shave all time.
So, it just reminds me of sometimes I cover up peopls like self harm scars or any scars or issues that they have - you know - stretch marks.
And I cover them up and now they feel so good.
Like some people tell me I havet worn a bathing suit in ten years.
And it - like - really means something to me.
You know - I like, "wow I think I actually changed this persos life."
Now they actually feel food about themselves.
