Now, the first thing I did was watch the DVD, read the book etc. My first time turning on the machine (pushing the pedal) I didn’t use ink or attempt anything because it was a mechanical / engineering lesson for me. So today I decided to add fruit and ink to the equation. I made some observations the first time I used the…

It was per session, sorry. My piece wasn’t entirely a full back that I wanted, more like 3/4 since I have tattoos on the shoulder blades already. But yeah – its an hourly rate, so it all depends on the tattoo itself, what the guy can manage with the time But seeing his work is…

Hey! If I can manage the lessons with my kids running around, stealing my sketch pad and pens, etc. etc … you can find some time. LOL :-)

That is tough. Your stencil has got to be good and you gotta go slow obviously, but man – I think what would work (only because I think only about how I would draw it) is to tattoo the man first and use him as a helpful reference for the perfect circle and square. Since the shapes touch the corners of his image – you can take it…

I dont know if theres any flash book on BioMech. BUT I think that there might be a grand chance of it being out there. Hahaha, Its not easy coming up with anything not done before :D

Spider, how helpful has the graphic design education been toward actually tattooing?

Having an art background is a major plus IMO in tattooing. My other artist is currently working on his BA in fine arts. From my perspective classes like perspective, digital photography, even art history and color theory has a place in inking.…[Read more]

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?

no i just laid it flat on the table 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

It was actually off of a guide I chose where there was a plant behind the fish, and while I was drawing it I was thinking it looked more like seaweed. LOL – Oh well. Next time.

Actually a great lesson to be had here. Even though you see it, dosent mean it should be there. Remember to give everything your own touch, not just…[Read more]

I really enjoyed looking at your work. Your pencil drawings of the women are fantastic, how long did those take and did you use a guide ? (photo or real life?) …. I’m curious, your flash drawings are not at the same level (perhaps just not as much time on them)? You are an excellent artist, I would love to see you apply that…
