How does one go from a 9 to 5 to tattooing full time? Al Chu (@alchutattoos) of Flipside Tattoos knows, and he gets into details of how he (with a little bit of luck) got into the business. Drawing has always been in him since he was young, it just never registered as a potential profession until much later in his life. Al chats about how his training started, the type of art he specializes in, what clients should do when getting their first tattoo, and more, and along the way he sprinkles in some awesome tattoo stories too. It's always great to see someone turn their hobby into a profession and for all those potential artists out there looking to become tattoo artists, Al's also got some advice as well!
