Welcome and I like your sugarskull piece.

need better photos but looks interesting to me. Why didn’t you start with pigskin then find friends willing to let you practice on them? My Mentor was very against me doing art on myself for a couple of reasons. I used pigskin for 1 year before laying ink on my cousin with the mentor watching. I’m excited to see more photos.

Try this, great tutorial and keep it up. Work from Photo until you can work from eye.

Start on Pigskin and show some photos.

Great stuff. My advise Is sit down and produce 10 Pieces of art of 10 different styles. 1 Japanese, 1 Polynesian, one traditional, 1 Neo-Trad…ect. Then post those. The Life Drawing classes are good but the guys here want to see stuff you can do in the scope of what can be tattooed. I look forward to see what you’ll do.

Its healed and the “blow out” spider veining went away. now it just looks blurry but not as bad as a real blow out.

Yes you can use any spirit paper but make sure your getting the real stuff made in USA. The other german and chinesse stuff was horrible. Also you will have to lighten the image a lot to get a soft stencil unless you can adjust the printers pressure but mines not that high end.

Pretty amazing for such a quick start. I would advise you to practice a ton on pigskin when your not doing people. Take as many health classes and learn as much as possible and never stop learning about how to keep both you and your clients from illness or injury. You’ll be amazed at how easy it is for that. Do other art mediums, it’s helped me to do water color/ pen & ink and painting. Keep it up, great stuff.

WARNING – You have to look at Windows site for driver compatibility to your OS. I was luck to know to look for that. You can not just buy and hook up. Also look to make sure your using the correct file format for the printer to read. SO check out your Operating System compatibility with your chosen Printer.

Welcome! You could check my post on “post your work” I could use any advice.

I would say just from my experience so far that you should have a serious spread of different subjects for your portfolio. I noticed that most portfolios are narrowed down to the artist ability. I would make a portfolio of the stuff your super good at in the first few pages, then the stuff at the end that shows you’re brave enough to do art your not so good at. Also show various styles, not just all “traditional”. Also don’t pay for an apprenticeship ever, be humble and do whatever you can otherwise to spend time in the shop.

Welcome, I would ask to check my posts. I would say I haven’t gotten to many replies, lots of encouragement though.
