hahaha I can’t believe I missed that. That’s great! Three more it is!!!

I think its awesome. I love it.

I really wish that I could say, “Sign me up!” but I’m in Canada and am probably more fresh in the learning phase than anyone else in this forum.

My brother is a tattoo artist and I have been around tattoo studios for many years, been real critical of which studio I chose. But in any case… I wish you were around here. Good Luck!

I really like this idea and I am starting out wanting to learn and figure out what to do. I can’t go out and get tattooed and look for an apprenticeship just yet because 1) I’m pregnant and 2) I’m a mother who stays at home with the babies. So I would like to work on learning about the machine, how to best use it, what it does when you do this and…[Read more]

Infamous DID say it pretty darn well. Well said!

exactly.

I did this when I was inspired by the work of another tattoo artist.

The idea is an idea, the babies and charms are mine. :-)

For me its more about how the client is approached and greeted. I’ve known some great artists that have a lot of expression in their style. Hell, my brother is a tattoo artist. But for me what makes a difference is the way a customer is handled. This is the same in any industry you walk to – not just tattoos.

Its not the art style I refer to, its…[Read more]

I love style expression, I just don’t like the intimidation. I didn’t see it everywhere, but more in places I think didn’t have the same amount of professionalism. I walked into a studio the other day and the first impression you get is you are looking at an art gallery. Then, you have your tattoo receptionist, a guy with a colorful cap, glasses,…[Read more]

I just remember walking into pralor after parlor and finding an intimidating tone by big men in pants they an’t keep on and hats that won’t shade their eyes very well … then running into their “girls” who look like their clothes shrunk and they failed English class. The apprentice that was working there was the same, and the last add I saw about…[Read more]

I agree with you – I have never done a dragon and had no idea what I was doing. The only thing I like is the wings.

No, I got this picture from a magazine. But I wanted to see if I could do it and also try to do some sketches of my babies.

Wow, I’m a little taken back you like all my stuff so far (haven’t read all notes)…. I’m a bit … self conscious ….

Thank you so much!

Ah yeah, thanks – I will try to make a string next time. Hahaha..

Yes, all of my work is for sale. This painting is already sold (the original) but I sell prints as well. I have everything up on my facebook page (LoveofArtDawn)…. or

I have been drawing all of my life, it sorta runs in the family. My brother is a tattoo artist, my other brother is an Art Professor and web designer. My grandmother was a professional painter and I have sold and painted oil commissions in Germany and the U.S. for a number of years. I have started looking at tattoo as a job since I keep getting…[Read more]

I like the Raven and the Skull. I am not a tattoo artist yet so I can’t comment on the technical side with the machine, but artistically I would have added a little for round shading and maybe a color for “pop”…. is that the term we all use now?

Thanks!!! I was sorta expecting ridicule for being upset over punks, or whatever it is that I encounter….

Many Thanks. What I like about making sketches based on other’s ideas is they have the idea and I have the challenge. I had so much fun making these flowers.
