As the exercise continued you could look at the drawings and you could see that they started to learn how to control the pressure and negative feedback. The exercise was designed to ensure that when they become tattoo artist it would help them understand how the acts of emotion will effect the art they put out. When customers come in an spend lots of money on a piece they expect the piece to be perfect every time. In order for artist to meet that expectation they have to clear their minds and concentrate at the task at hand.
Being a tattoo artist is more then just throwing a piece on someones arm or back. The human body is a huge canvas and just waiting to be decorated with art from great artist. A tattoo artist has to look further then just collecting money or the career as a job. They have to look at this career through the eyes of expression. Those who are great will always be drawing, engaged in more then just tattooing but in other art forms as well. It could be watercolor, paintings, working with clay. An artist is never hindered just by one craft. An artist must always carry their imagination with them at all times. Look at the world and it's possessions as a big canvas and make your own realty out of it. When your able to accomplish such things you can be the king of the mountain in the tattoo world, you will become the master of your own destiny.
