Infamous

I once wrote the words I quit in pepperoni on a pizza. I don’t think you’ll be able to do that but thought I’d share lol

That’s what we are here for :)

Also, might check on the shipping rates from both places. Might be a difference maker, and Lenn is from Denmark so he might know of a few options for buying locally.

Weigh your options, but I say go for it. The old biker gang isn’t going to do anything to a shop that is on TV, they’ll never be able to get away with it. The tv thing hurdles over the proper amount of exposure to be beaten up by bikers and reaches the realm of protection via the masses.. That is, of course, if people WATCH the show.. I’ll…[Read more]

I second littleinker, I’m not sure what the price difference is between euros and USD is but I don’t think its very much.. Ofcourse, simply put if your going to buy a Hildbrandt kit it is best to cut out the middle man and buy it straight from the source. In this case, tattoomachineequipment.com is the right place to go and the kit shown appears…[Read more]

I like these :)

Welcome! And yeah, that book is extremely helpful and an excellent reference to have in your shop even after you have read it a dozen times :) and note, I don’t profit at all from you purchasing a copy of BFMT I’m just some guy from Okie land who found it useful. And this forum is a great place to learn A LOT of stuff about the trade feel free to…[Read more]

I can definitely see some potential here, lines are a little shakey here and there, shading could be a little smoother. But overall, its not bad :)

Hi Mike, welcome to the forum. I have a similar story :)

I would recommend Honeydews, but I did most of my training on oranges as they are less expensive. You can also try pigskin as an alternative to practice skin. And make sure to practice as though that fruit is a real client and follow all safety guidelines in doing so :)

Welcome to both of you!

Looks amazing Lenn

Can’t wait to see what you do with this! I’ll reserve my judgment for later 8-)

Ah man thats some good work, nicely done!

Remember those awful tattoos I posted here a while back on my Dad that I was asking advice on how to cover-up?

Here’s one of them :D

It’s a traditional style eagle done over the words “Lone Rider” on my Dads forearm

If its not finished its not a touch up its not a touch upo its a second session. Make sure they know that if they try to stop before its done. You need to really step down and really get stuff straight when they leave. Don’t waste money dude.

+1, What he said

We all remember what it was like when we first started Cam, that’s why we’re here! Welcome to the forum, I can’t wait to see some of your work, and if you have any questions like Lenn said, just ask :)

Tattooing skin and tattooing practice skin are very different. It definitely seems easier to me to get my stuff down on real skin. Maybe thats the way its supposed to be though, get good at practice skin then when you get to work in real skin your work will be that much better. Basically because you’re used to working on a client with just the…[Read more]

Hello, and welcome to the forum :)

Hi, and welcome to the forum! That’s quite an interesting story you have.

I think you’ll be happy to find you’ll be provided with a wealth of information here, so feel free to browse around and ask any questions that you may have. We’re happy to help!

Hi, and welcome to the forum! Sorry I can’t help with the apprenticeship thing all the way over here in the states but I’ll be happy to answer all the questions that I can until you find one! Good luck!

I do almost all of them if needed, my policy is to give out free touch-ups whenever needed except on hands and feet. (Even though I haven’t tattooed a hand or foot yet)

But once another person works on it, it is no longer my responsibility
