The people who talk shit are gelouse bru. People talk shit sbout me all the time. Especially when I take their clients. Its just them feeling threatened. As far as fixing it go ahead. However buddy is going to be paying full price for the fix. This is because you are no longer fixing YOUR mistake.

The reason you’ll want to fix it is because your…[Read more]

I mostly dislike Tribal, and Script

Script because I’m an artist not a calligrapher. Script is also meant to be STRAIGHT, and FLAT. Nothing on the body is straight, and flat. That’s why people add all those swoops and bells and whistles.

Tribal because it is just an old ’90s fad that died in no time. No one knows the true meaning of tribal, and…[Read more]

The short side goes to the positive and the positive should be at the rear bind post with the negative at the front bind post

Try using M1 M2 or RM. With a flat it is too easy to damage the skin unless you know what you’re doing

Apprentices should not do feet or hands until they have been inking in skin for at least 3-6 months really. Way too easy to jack up in that area and then (for any decent shop that is ) it is now the shops responsibility to fix the jacked up ink. Time is money, and time spent giving out free ink to fix a mistake is time away from potentially money…[Read more]

I’ve never used scream, only thing I know for sure about that ink is that a few years ago they had a major recall for their reds and yellows I think. It was some bad bad bad stuff. And I believe there is still a class action lawsuit going from that for people that had some permanent problems from it. No I am not joking…Google scream ink lawsuit.…[Read more]

hahaha…say that one to a client in a slingblade voice…….” hmmmmmmm you got nice skin hmmmmmmmm.”
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
ROFLMAO…..

Oh whos the guy? :D

Agreed..
I can really see them as good tattoos.

On a side note; I can sence a style thats consistent in all these pieces, which is a good thing. Thumbs up for that :D

Hmmm toug one actually.
You CAN get lucky and make a perfect shade on a pigskin. AND even more lucky, if you CAN do it on a practise skin. But nevertheless, both of them are NOT real skin. Its only as close as it is.
Real skin has an elasticity, and as you said it, is alive. Real skin has a healing periode, in witch you arent 100 percent sure if…[Read more]

I’ve read somewhere, that you shouldnt just stick to 1 kind of ink. But combine what works for you. This is a trial/error area.
And same place were I read;
If its too cheap, its crap. If its too expensive, its not worth it…

Now talk about confusion :P

I follow you completely Spider…. Scripts… Letters… call it what you will…. ;)

So you dread the ribs? I havent done that many on the rib sides yet. And the one I did, actually was great skinned… (hahaha can you even say that? :lol: Great Skinned?)

I’m thinking of not touching it with a firepoker.
First up, that mistake I did, could have been corrected by some awesome shadings. Now he just got a colour fill….

But what is your take on touch ups? When do you do them? And when do you not?

Here’s a link to a hidden page on our website that has a pretty decent beginners tuning guide on it.

Script script script………I admit this not only to myself but to my clients as well. I have done so many letters, words, initials over the years that I do cringe when someone wants any kind of script. (Nice title by the way) :lol:
But as many letters as I have done, I will do them carefully and exact, and I can honestly say that in my years I…[Read more]

Well your so far dedication is commended. As far as an apprentice goes I wish it was just that easy for someone to say they want it, we take them in and kabam an artist is born. Apprenticing is sometimes hard because not only do you have to have drive, but you have to be a good mix for the shop chemistry as well. I’ll return your email and talk to…[Read more]

Better to go too light, then too deep. If you went too deep, you will have a good chance of scartissue. And too light. thats always fixable.

But lets see the result :D

I dont know hahahaha. People who see stuff like this, and actually WANT them to destroy their skin… Well….. hahaha

Agreed, most want tribal cause everybody else has em. Especially if your a big guy that hits the gym 3 times a day.

And its not to be taken wrong, I do love doing tattoos, and everytime I get a chance to do one, I want to do it. Its not like I point out to the client that I dont like doing these or things like that. I keep it as proffesional as…[Read more]
