Yeah – this one is 360+ pages Last one was about 240 pages…
Still working on the Advanced Tattoo Apprentice…
But I have to prioritize the projects – I have had like 20 projects going at once.
I am limiting myself to only work on 1 thing at a time now – haha.

Look for Typo’s too in the new one – guys!
It is just the 1st printing.

Also – be sure to check the most CURRENT laws!

I believe it is legal in Oklahoma actually, but I am not a resident of that state. Check w/ legal counsel.

Thanks! Welcome!
“Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo”

imported_canvasyou replied to the topic Always learn, do your research!!!! in the forum Apprentice Folly 11 years, 5 months ago

Interesting stuff – but the industry has def,. evolved. Some for the better – some for the worst.

imported_canvasyou replied to the topic What to get? in the forum My Machine Hates Me! 11 years, 5 months ago

I would say spend about $250-$300 on each tattoo machine you purchase (any more than that is a rip off).
I would spend about $250-400 on a good power supply.
And needles and tubes: Get disposable on both – unless you want to shell out $3000 or $5000 for an autoclave.

These prices are in USD.

imported_canvasyou replied to the topic A few of the better attempts! in the forum Post your work here 11 years, 5 months ago

Not bad, actually – thanks for sharing.

imported_canvasyou replied to the topic ROTARY VS COIL in the forum My Machine Hates Me! 11 years, 5 months ago

Best thing to do is to become a tattoo apprentice. And practice on things other than people! Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo will help you out though.

YFS?
Why is that relevant?
Are they good screws?

If you don’t get a quick reply to your tattoo questions – drop me an eMail. I will do my best to answer.

imported_canvasyou replied to the topic Setting contact screw in the forum My Machine Hates Me! 11 years, 5 months ago

I would say try to get the contact screw on your tattoo machine as close to 90 degrees as possible (in relation to the front screw on the tattoo gun).
Let me know if this makes sense.

Hang in there! or.. look for another shop / mentor…
No one can tell you the best route for you.
Just don’t get “taken advantage of”
Remember you are “PAYING” to learn the trade – and that DOES mean you have to put in some time at the tattoo shop.
That also means you are working for FREE (but it’s not working for free, really..because you are…[Read more]
