Hello lovelies ◡̈

Finally had time to finish the first official vlog of my apprenticeship diaries. I recently became a tattoo apprentice in early July at soma tattoo studio here in Orlando, FL and I wanted to share the entire process - start to finish! It's a 3 month long process, and I'm currently finishing up week 7 (already?? which is so nuts).

I've been filming almost every day and am currently working on the second vlog~ I will be sharing the videos with you all on here first, so my lovely patrons can have the first look. ◡̈

Can't wait to share the rest of it. I've been learning so much and feel as though I'm right where I need to be.

Thank you for your support as always! Please enjoy x

tattoo apprenticeship diaries ༶ artist vlog

long time no see, stranger. I've been gone for quite awhile. life has taken me on a ride the past 2 years. lots of changes and it's taken me a little while to get my footing again. but I finally feel like I'm in a good place. ◡̈ at the beginning of july, I started something new at the start of the new decade of my life. the big 3-0. kind of poetic in that way, isn't it? I'm currently a tattoo apprentice (?!!). a long time dream of mine that somehow has become reality. the apprenticeship program is under soma tattoo studio, headed by Hoa (Ca) Nguyen & Eric Nguyen - 2 very talented vietnamese tattoo artists in orlando, fl. I'm truly so honored to be able to learn this beautiful art form under their guidance and mentorship. the program is 3 months long and I wanted to document as much of it as possible! it feels like a very important and transformative time in my life, so I wanted to share this experience (and also just have record of it for me to look back on one day~). thank you for being here and for letting me share it with you all. hope you have been doing well. please take care of yourself & I'll see you again soon x ✿ LINKS ✿ IG: @artbyangie.jpg Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtbyAngieCo Patreon: patreon.com/artbyangie ✿ MUSIC ✿ [Disclaimer: I do not own any of the music featured in this video!

The video isn’t working (at least for me)! I’m excited to watch it though - I’m always interested in how other states do apprenticeships (in MN it’s 200 supervised tattooing hours which typically ends up taking 6-12 months, but MN is the strictest state about tattooing after OR. My apprenticeship was about 5 months, but that was 11 years ago and they’ve changed some rules since then). Thanks for letting us follow on this journey with you! Hopefully I can get a tattoo from you someday, I’ve loved your work for yeeeeears ❤️

Oh no! Thanks for letting me know. I just uploaded it again with a new url. Hopefully it’s working this time!! I can’t wait to see what you think of it :) And wow that’s so interesting. Florida’s tattooing laws are much more lax. I was surprised when I learned the program I’m currently doing was only 3 months! But it’s very intensive and I’m there 3-4 full days a week (8 hours daily). And I would be SO honored to be able to tattoo you one day. Truly. Thank you so much for your support throughout the years and of course your kindness! 😭😭
