Awesome!

My personality is less able to go and ask for anything – took me a while to ask for help with the kids!! But I’m too determined to not get in the door. Learn and get more tattoos.

I saw it on FB as well. ;-) hehe – and I like it. I love colorful butterflies. Good Job.

I like it !!

I really can’t wait for my machine …. I bought a honeydew yesterday – for no reason since I have no machine yet – and I ate it …. all the while thinking about tattoos.

I liked those practice ones. Did you tape them to a body part to get the feel of the curves?

Lenn,

A video???? I had no idea. Send me info where I can see it. Can I see it??? :P

Translation, what a wonderful thing … LOL – I use Witch Hazel at home for other things, was delighted it is being used in tattoo ink washes, etc. That stuff is amazing, can be used for MANY medical reasons ….. (Really this is the only thing I can comment on)

I agree with the red. Love it when color is used well. Good job.

Welcome to the forum !!! You are at the right place to stay in touch with others with the same interest / profession. This forum has kept me inspired and going in my portfolio so that I can tackle my career choice with more knowledge and confidence.

Good Luck and I can’t wait to see what you can do !!

Or this one – I like this one better, it is a better example of what I…[Read more]

I wish I could give you tips, I really like biomechanical stuff. Giger is who is mentioned in my book as well, the star of that section – they wouldn’t mention anyone else. ……. but I love machine work as tattoos…. anyway – depending on what your client wants, I always liked the mechanics that appear under the skin. Turning the muscular…[Read more]

Stay put. Let the travelers come to you. You don’t want to do anything to risk the safety of the kids…. but based on what I’ve read everyone else has told you this already.

And if you go to Cornwall – I will visit !! I’m not that far !! Canada is a great place for kids. Even though I am leaving in 4 years, I recommend it here.

Is there another…[Read more]

OK so here it is …. my second Koi sketch …. (not the idea I was talking about earlier), but nonetheless it adds to my portfolio…

oh, and I didn’t use a guide. This is entirely from the head (while waiting for my kids to…[Read more]

Well, based on my recent readings I will do one more Koi drawing … 5 Golden Koi swimming UP stream… heheheh The one that I did yesterday was popular, a friend of mine wants it done on him… But I think the water is versatile – he could probably get it done going UP and then on his right side so the head is NOT toward his back.

Let her be a client !!! AWESOME !! I wish I could visit, (love the other side of the ocean…. miss it dearly) but if I DO make it back (that is the plan at some point, have too many friends I miss) then I will come check out your studio. I’m so happy the bank approved it. I’m stoked !!

Depending on the studio needs of building, you will want that full year anyway. A year is not long. It gives you plenty of time to afford it, to get it right in design, building codes, dealing with issues, disputes, etc. It also gives you the opportunity to direct others to the new place on hours you are not at the other studio. Just sayin ….…[Read more]

Naturally, I went and did some reading (also happy I chose the red colors … hehehe) but I also read that the face down Koi is one at peace and tranquility – or perhaps the last feed before the journey up.

I was reading about the changing into the dragon and had a tattoo idea …. :-) We will see ….

I hope that the two books I ordered are…[Read more]

Rent the studio until your extension at home is complete. You can bring in work, build clientele and then have a Grand opening at your own place !!

(I am clearly a person who doesn’t see why you can’t have both cake and eat it too)

Lenn,

That is very important information and very interesting because I have seen thousands of tattoos with the fish head down. I’ve seen them with another Koi in the Yin-Tang and I’ve seen them face up. The reason I did face down is because I saw that tattoo or photo more often than any other. SO it makes me wonder who DOESN’T know about the…[Read more]
