My name is Cassie Woessner and I am a self taught artist from Westminster Colorado. I made the decision to proceed without an apprenticeship with complete respect for the traditional process of tattooing and shop work, however I felt that it was not for me. I took my blood borne pathogen certification and practiced on fake skin for roughly 6 months before moving on to people in the most sterile way I could manage in my home. Now I have been tattooing for nearly a year and constantly strive to improve my work and practice as much as possible on both fake and real skin. So far I have only worked with black ink but would love to learn how to properly blend colors as my personal art tends to include both color and black/grey. I know that being self taught does not make me an ideal candidate in many ways but I am looking for any job openings that may give me the ability to expand and improve in this industry(including apprenticeships.)
