Ever since i was a kid i have always wanted to serve and protect the weak. I dream to be a police officer. As a matter of fact im taking Criminal Justice in college right now. I enjoyed it a lot and did really good in class. Im also a working student, i earn money through my talent which is doing tattoos, and im great at it as well. I get to eat, pay rents, buy clothes and have enough for my college tuition from tattooing.
Although im good in this profession i always get mocked and picked on by other people, both artists and clients because im a tattoo artist but i don't have any tattoos in my body because my course doesn't allow tattoos and worst the national police in my country doesn't accept applicants with tattoos on them. I have to have them removed if i want to join the academy.
Now im torn in between my dream to be a member of the Philippine National Police or to continue my passion in tattooing and establish my name and hope to become an International Tattoo Artist someday.

I think you should follow your dream my hubby graduated from the police academy last Friday an when he puts the uniform on he is a different person he holds he head up high he is so proud an out of three brothers that he has they are all in the police force I don't have to tell you how proud of them I am go to the Philippine National Police an find out what ypu need to do to get started in law enforcement who knows by doing so you might find a mentor to help you out well good luck in which ever you choose to do cause tattoo artist is a bad field to follow either who knows if you are really out going you could do both
