I've just been trying to push myself to step outside of my comfort zone to help myself grow. And that's scary.”](https://www.slugmag.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/SLUG_-Style_Sharese_Clancycoop_4.jpg)
![About her time at Good Times Tattoo, Taylor says, “March 31st is actually my two year 'tattaversary,' and then the end of May, beginning of June [I celebrate] three years here. So I had a year as an apprentice, and then I've been tattooing full-time for two years since then.”](https://www.slugmag.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/SLUG_-Style_Sharese_Clancycoop_6.jpg)
![“I got tattooed as soon as I moved out of my parents' house. I was 19 after graduating high school,” says Taylor. “They weren't super [in favor of] tattoos growing up and stuff like that. I was raised in a pretty conservative family. But ever since I was in third grade, I thought tattoos were the coolest. My senior year of high school, I spent solely drawing on my classmates. So I've wanted to do it for a very long time.”](https://www.slugmag.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/SLUG_-Style_Sharese_Clancycoop_7.jpg)
