Welcome to the forum!

lol I understand

I did it just the way you said. Except it wouldn’t transfer the carbon to the sheet. But since I printed on the shiny side of the carbon sheet I was able to apply it directly to my chest. The carbon didn’t transfer, the printer ink did. Kind of like if you’ve ever stuck some scotch tape to something and it pulled the pencil markings off.

I was able to get a decent stencil from doing this.. It’s kinda blobby but I am going to blame the image I used, It had gray areas which made the transfer lack definition

The only good thing about bots is that they do bring up some old posts.

I’m gonna guess that tat is already done, how’d it turn out?

Yeah. I thought it may have just been incoherent rambling.. But then I saw the same bot post on other topics

What?

It can leave a permanent impression, it will look like a scar and will heal like one. You will be able to tell if your lines are straight or shaky, and you should be able to tell if its of quality or not. Forget coloring, just focus on your outline, and maybe some light shading. You’ll basically be doing some blood red pieces, which will…[Read more]

Im a “scratcher” myself.

Don’t you dare call yourself that, scratcher is a term which I use exclusively to define people who have a tattoo “gun” (thats what they call it) who give out bad tattoos, are not clean, and have no working knowledge of the proper methods, nor a desire to learn the correct way.

A little small but from what I can see I think it looks pretty good, I personally use a handful of coins for all my circles, or CDs, cups, the bottom of a beer bottle, really anything round, there are loads of things you can use just laying around

I’m really not sure, I’ve only worked on oranges. As far as I know it seems like everyone has suggested honeydews so far, this is the first time I’ve heard of anyone practicing on a grapefruit, but I don’t see why not.

Nothing feels like skin more than skin though, if you think you’re to the point you can start doing bloodlines (tattoo with…[Read more]

We could do video lessons. Read this article, watch this video, send a pm to the “Teacher” about what we learned from the assignment, like a book report, or the Tattoo Professor could make worksheets for the students to stream-line things if they’re not willing to do a lot of reading. You could easily say the course isn’t complete without all the…[Read more]

I like this idea, we should totally do this. I wonder if we could find an artist who would be willing to sign some paperwork after completing the curriculum to? That would be great for me. Like an online apprenticeship.

Looks pretty good to me!

I really like this style very rorschacesque (ink blots) looks fantastic

Then so it shall be

Thanks Rob :)

Oh okay, in that case yeah. I feel like I’m constantly fiddling with the contact screw. Sometimes it’ll be going excellent then just kind of bog down and I have no idea why. Probably because its cheap and chinese

I actually wanted to get into video game design when I was younger, and this was a step towards that. I almost did culinary instead, believe it or not, but I had a friend who went into graphic design and that was my push.

I’m honestly starting to feel like everything in my entire life has been leading me towards becoming a tattoo artist. Like…[Read more]
