Interviewee, Matthew. Kim Potter, Candidate number 8180

One of our agreed interviewees is someone who has been trying to get a chance in the tattooing industry, so has some idea how hard it is, and what is needed to become a tattoo artist in this day and age. We thought as we have an opportunity to interview Matthew, we could ask him some extra questions about how he has gone about trying to become a tattoo artist and his artwork that he is hoping may get him noticed.

Questions for Matthew, about his journey trying to make it in the tattooing industry.

What was it that first inspired you to try and make a career out of tattooing?

What is your opinion on the debate over whether tattoos are a form of art or not?

Where do you hopefully see yourself in 5 years time?

Would you ever encourage someone to get a spontaneous tattoo?

Is there any kind of tattoos you disagree with people getting? If so what, and why?

Is there any tattoos you have yourself that you regret?

If there is any tattoos that you regret, why?

Is there any tattoos you have that have personal meaning to you?

Do you have a favourite tattoo? If so, what is it, and why is it your favourite?

Whilst interviewing Matthew we are hoping to get the chance to also look at some of his artwork.
