Infamous

Of course it is, in fact most artists are self-taught (at least for the most part) I would still recommend trying to get an apprenticeship though, its easier to have someone to rely on.

I don’t have one yet, but I know quite a bit thanks to this forum and a fair amount of trial and error

Welcome! And please do! lol

I would feel comfortable doing freehanded tribal but when it comes to doing things that are a bit more intricate I feel the need to use a stencil, everything you do is permanent afterall

I had a guy pass out on me once, and I had to stop. He wanted to continue but he also told me that if he passed out again he might have to go to the ER. So, I told him no, and we booked something for the following Saturday to finish.

Pics a little blurry, but it looks pretty good. I would’ve added a bit more red to get it nice and bright. And white would be good for highlights

You’re welcome, those voltage settings sound about right to me.
