Tattoo Artist (Grow Up Challenge)

While in the womb, I made up my mind to become a tattoo artist. The smell of ink to wake me up in the morning, and to put me to bed at night.
I know what you’re thinking: “Can’t this be obtained by being an Administrative Professional?” Or, “How did you know what a tattoo artist was before birth?”
That’s just too bad, because I don’t answer questions after 3 p.m. on Monday afternoons.

But anyway, the tattooing…Perhaps it came from years of being told not to write on my arms, for fear of lead poisoning. Maybe, it was the fact that I went through drawing paper so quickly, that I spent hours drawing extensive drawings in my math books.

Whatever the reason, my lifelong dream is to be a tattoo artist.
Who’s next in the chair?
