It was so cool to sit with my friend and coworker, Natalie Seki, and learn more about her start as a tattoo artist. I'm so grateful for Natalie's story, because like the beautiful lotus, her apprenticeship was truly a journey and so very rare.
I've known Natalie for two years now, and this is the first time I heard her full apprenticeship story; Complete with mangos instead of grapefruit, for practice skin.
Natalie is an incredibly talented tattoo artist who specializes in Japanese brushwork tattoos. Go check her out everyone (@natalieseki); She comes all the way from Brazil!
