So lets see? I enjoy drawing and dabbling in painting. I went to a tattoo school in Central Oregon where the owner/instructor packed up shop and left in the middle of the night during a weekend and took the tuition of six of and ran. Since then continued to draw and started my construction business back up. But, the itch too tattoo for a living is still lurking in my heart. I now live close too Washington where I can most likely apprentice and get some real experience. While the school was good at teaching us about sterilization, bbp’s, and Oregon state laws, we really didn’t get much in the way of learning different stretching needs/techniques for different body parts. We got no real help in shading techniques either. Pretty much all the school did was prepare us for the state test. Had the owner actually followed through with his end at least I’d be licensed in the state of Oregon right now and figuring things out along the way. So I’ve been looking for some shading technique books/videos and ran across this site. So here I am, I’ve found that allot of times these forums have good and bad, but none the less, information to sort through. If some of you can shed some light on some good books/videos I’D GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!!!!

Oh man, sorry to hear that.
An art form as tattoo, is not a thing you should pay to learn.
Once they start demanding money. Pack your things and run as fast as you can. Then they are only interested in your money.+1
that is a general rule of thumb on here
As far as the tattoo forum Canvas and I have been working day and night to make this forum one of–if not–the best forums for tattoo help on the net. We are not a substitute for a formal apprenticeship merely a tool to help guide you on your way. I’ve been on this forum for over a year and we’ve come a long way since I joined up. I now help Canvas run the forum as he is super busy with all of his own projects, and we’ve got a few really dedicated members like Infamous, Lenn, Jessica, Angie, Spider, and myself. We try to help anyone who comes along onto the forum.
However, for you to get the most of the forum YOU MUST BE ACTIVE. Way too many people join, post in the intro forum, then never post again. It’s sad really, but thats more time I get to focus on the people here that I have come to regard as some of my closest friends even though I’ve never met any of them. The guys and gals on here are a great bunch of brus. Try heading over to the how to practice section, and get some work done homie!

This place is truly great.
If you ask for an honest opinion, you get an honest opinion. No paper wrapping, on no smooth talking.
Even if you get a negative respons, DONT let it discourage you. Take it as fuel for the bonfire, and use it to ignite an even further dedication. Thats what the tattoo business demands. Thats what seperates the Lions from the Lambs.And here is a ton of people, all at their own level, all with experience in some usefull area. Take as much as you can use, and if you truly got what it takes…. You will be able to make it. :ugeek:

Welcome
from my point of view all schools just give the basics. The first step of a career .
In order someone to go further ,has to keep learning and being open-minded. (sorry for my English).
This forum seams to have all the right people (guys who love what they are doing) to find new ideas and expand the basic Knowledge. Thanks everyone! -
