my name is sarah. i also go by solona and xiii, which i pronounce as both thirteen and z.
as of april 2013 i am 24 years old.
i'm shy, a bit awkward, and anti-social. i'd much rather cuddle up and watch a movie with my bf than go out and party.
i'm a free-lance tattoo artist in webster, ma.

i was taught by shaggy, who i met in august 2013. he saw the tattoo on my leg and although i was a bit intimidated by him at first due to my social anxiety, i love to talk about tattoos. he told me he did tattoos, and i said that used to apprentice in a shop but didn't learn enough to tattoo on my own so he took me on as his apprentice. the very first lesson he had me tattoo his knuckles. no fruit or practice skin for me! he says tattooing people is the only way to learn.
as of now, december 2013, my line work still needs improving but i'm getting better with each tattoo.
we haven't known each other long but i don't know where i'd be if i hadn't met him. tattoos are my passion in life and i'm so happy to be tattooing at last. i feel like it's what i'm meant to do. plus he kicks me in the ass when i'm feeling like i'm not good enough to tattoo anyone and he doesn't ever let me give up on myself. i was also falling back into a severe depression when we met, and he unintentionally gave me the boost i needed to escape it again. i dread to think how far gone i'd be if we never met..if i hadn't been delayed so long and gone out to run my errands earlier in the day like i'd planned..fate is kinda funny like that i guess.
but anyway, one day we'll open a shop together, and it will be awesome <3
