The start of my batman. 5rl and a 7rl. I was sculpting lines and ny foot pedal stopped working. So ill pick up with the gray in a few days. The perspective is skewed on the photo . That’s why he looks like he has midget legs lol

That was what I meant . Im good ill keep an eye out for it

the term doesn’t bother me so much. everyone has to start some where. Did we start the subject on this one yet and i just missed it?

good to see a positive feed back on the hildbrant machines, i was wondering about them

We just need admin to back us

I like the idea of open forum assignments. That way you could just start on a list and work at your own pace. I don’t feel like its a good idea to use the term teacher so much as peer critique. (Forgive my spelling, im lit ) a list of “homework” if u will. Ranging from pen and paper to actual skin pieces. Everyone who has completed the…[Read more]

So who is qualified to start a new sticky? We need another heading like apprentice. We should call it the gauntlet lol

Well… how do u wanna start this? Pencil roses?

as always: I am not a tattoo artist nor have i ever apprenticed under one

i had a two paragraph response but it signed me out then i lost it all. the videos i posted are of mario barth from intenze. he covers black and grey in one and advanced color in the other one. He actually lines with color ink in one.

This is true. However, how many people would actually go out of their way to educate themselves prior to doing these lessons? Most would just avoid it all together since technically it isn’t mandatory.

I wouldn’t mind being a “teacher” for the lack of a better term. Grade the work done, and give out the lessons n such.

We would need an apprenticed artist willing to put his rep on the line. Easier said then done. For now can u start with a sticky?

The beauty of an open forum is that everyone can share their own experience toward the piece. Little shit like “a dimond tip and a bent needle will really clean up your lines” small things a little at a time from different perspectives make a more rounded artist. To turn a Fraze “a ten second car is. built a 10th of a second at a time”

Yah. I got a wife and kids with s full time job. No one wants a guy for to nights a week lol

Agreed.fundamental art skills are key. I just figured that lessons exist for that already online. This site being what it is could pioneer the online tattoo education lol. Id participate in a heart beat

I feel sketched out doing tatts Cuse of the negative connotation given to people that Tatt without a format apprenticship

and that grapefruit picture is the titts btw

I’m way more for grape fruit because it teaches you to pull a straight line on a bumpy surface. The honeydew will shred after the first going over even if you did it right. so trying to work your gradients is going to be way harder. the only reason i like the honeydew is because it gives you a bigger area. If you need that in your life then tape…[Read more]

the larger the gauge the more resistance brother. you can look up the amount in ohms online to get a number for your capacitor.ohms law is another good thing to look up when building simple circuits also. The more resistance the slower the coils will run or the more voltage you will need. Id do an 8 wrap for a faster moving machine with like 22…[Read more]

my kit came with 4 machines and the BFMT book…. which i find hilarious because if i had purchased the book separately then i wold have never purchased the kit.
