Friday Five
1. What job do you have, and why do you like/hate it?
I'm a trainee tattoo artist, and I love what I do. After the slings and arrows of outrageous employment since I was fifteen, I'm finally getting to express my artistic talents... and I'm working with people I like a lot, too. It's awesome.
2. As a kid, what did you want to be when you "grew up?"
Once I got over wanting to be a vet (an ambition that died once I realised how academic you had to be - urgh), I really had no idea. So I just kind of wandered about and tried lots of different things - from an engineering apprenticeship when I was eighteen, to shop and factory work, furniture restoration, catering... and of course vet nursing. Which was something I thought I would be doing for a lot longer than I did!
3. Is the job you have now anything like what you imagined as a kid?
Ah ha ha ha no. I didn't even come into contact with tattoos until I was almost twenty - my family just don't have them.
4. Do you have a five-year career plan?
Er, no. I do want to be able to look at what I'm doing in five years and realise that people are travelling long distances just to get their ink from me. And of course I do have plenty of plans for my personal life! ;)
5. In order to get the job of your dreams, is there anything you wouldn't do? Why?
Well, I'm doing the job of my dreams... but I suppose I won't compromise my principles. I know it must often seem I have the morals of an alley cat (*ahem*), but I do have things I won't do. Although a list wouldn't make sense - they're situation-specific, if you see what I mean.

That was fun! Thanks Fred. And now, to work!
