O Tattoo Convention, the fine art of tattooing is still in the artists' hands, right alongside their buzzing needles.

You are one of that rare breed, someone doing an old-fashioned apprenticeship. Hon did that come about Yeah, apprenticeships arc few and far between. I was looking for someone to give me some honest feedback on the artwork I was doing. I was a big fan of Phil's w ork so I sent him some paintings.

He didn't give me any information as such but he would say things like 'You don't want to be using that type of paper' and I would go away and...
