Future tattoo artist and illustrator in need

Do you know how some people have dreams and work for those really hard?

I'm one of those people. I worked abroad and did everything I could to get the money to buy an iPad and a tattoo machine so I can start my own tattoo studio and do the thing I really love. And then, while on my way back home to do this whole thing, the COVID-19 apocalypse happenned.

Changing my plans so suddenly cost me half of my savings. Go home, I told myself, go home and everything will be fine. Without the savings for my dream I decided to find a job before finally getting into tattooing and illustrating.

And now I'm here - the borders are closed, all job interviews are rescheduled for the end of April. I can't go visit my grandparents, I don't have much money left, my laptop broke down so I can't really do any online job right now and I'm stuck in my flat because of the lockdown.

The thing I need right now (except for couple of facemasks but who doesn't need those in these times) is an iPad with an Apple Pencil. And a little app called Procreate. That way I can finally start drawing and hopefully selling digital art and stickers. I have some funny ideas, most of them already on paper but with no way to turn them into digital art I'm stuck again.

In return I'll draw you whatever you want in my style or you can get a tattoo from me once everything's back to normal.

I'm very grateful for every spare cent you can donate.

Thank you so much!
