Questions for Jewish people from a non Jewish person

Hey, I am a 22 year old woman, I was raised catholic and I have practiced christianism. However for the last 5 years I have identified as agnostic as I don’t feel a connection to god but I do believe he exists.

Last week for a uni class a rabbi explained to us some stuff about Judaism and their customs mainly. Until then I just felt sympathetic but definitely wasn’t convinced about rules for women. After class the rabbi came to me and told me God asked him to talk to me, we went to lunch and he told me more about his story and his connection to god.

I really felt moved and I want to learn more and try to find God, I am really open to it. The thing is… I am a tattoo artist and I have many tattoos, I am also in an open relationship with an atheist man. I don’t want to jump to any conclusions or to definitely say that everything in my life is a sin because that is what made me leave other religions, I tried to change my views and live a life that made miserable and angry with myself.

What do I do? How do I learn more? Should I just get the Torah and read through it? Or do I read the “0ld testam3nt” in a Bible? Is there another way to learn in the mean time before getting to learn with a rabbi? Can I have tattoos in Judaism even I had them before? Can I still be a tattoo artist? Can I have an atheist partner? Can I be bisexual? Do you all feel that God speaks to you?

Anyways, I am sorry for such a long story and so many questions but I don’t know anyone who is Jewish and can help me.
