The man who learned tattooing in prison had nothing when he got out, and now even celebrities have to wait six months to book him.

Did you know there was a man who learned tattooing in prison? Now many celebrities are willing to pay $100,000 for his tattoos. When he was 18, something went wrong in a drug deal. Whether he fired a gun or not was never mentioned again, but he was sentenced to 20 years in prison. On the day of the trial, his mother did not come to court. She said that from the moment he went to prison, he was already dead to her. In prison, he saw a cellmate stabbed over a cigarette with blood everywhere. At that moment, he understood that if he did not change, he would die there. He found a broken tattoo machine in the trash. There was no teacher and no manual. He practiced on orange pills first, then on his own body. Other inmates paid him with food for tattoos. When guards found out, they beat him and threw him into solitary confinement many times. But every time he came out, he kept tattooing. When he left prison, he had only a bag of drawings, no job and no place to live. No one wanted to hire an ex-convict covered in tattoos. At night, he slept on park benches, and during the day, he tattooed people in park restrooms for $10 each. Until one day, a tattoo shop owner saw his work on TikTok. The shop opened at nine in the morning, and he arrived at seven. He started by cleaning the shop and worked for free for eight months. People laughed at him until the first client asked for him by name, then the second, and later even a famous rapper came to him for a tattoo. Today, he owns five tattoo shops in Washington in New York, And anyone who wants his work has to wait a year for an appointment.
