This is just great. Nice clean lines, well filled in and just overall a good tattoo. Keep it up!

What a damned prick! I’m so sorry…but it sounds like you learned all you could from this jealous piece of shit anyway. You’ll run circles around his ass and take all of his clients, I bet. And yes, he sounds like he’s jealous because he couldn’t find a woman stupid enough to marry him and give him a family. God, I have run into pricks just like…[Read more]

Yeah, it sucks. Cracked right on the joint. Unbelievably painful. I’m itching to draw and tattoo and I can’t even rest weight on my hand.

I like the idea. However, I broke my pinkie finger and it’s been too painful to draw OR tattoo. :-( As soon as I’m healed in another 2-3 weeks, I’ll be happy to participate.

Who doesn’t like boobies? I love this piece of art and I’m doing more of an sexy angel series. I hope the guys here like them:-)

Very nice, very nice!

If you want to make a “true” grey the best way I find to do it is to start with a cap 3/4 full with white ink, then I have an electric stirrer that i dip into the black ink (or any dark ink when I’m mixing colors), give it a real good stir and see if its light enough, if not just repeat. Don’t use a whole drop of black ink as this…

Yeah, it IS too damned quiet.

You’re well on your way, dude. Well on your way.

I’d love to see some closeups of the work but honestly, this is damned good for a beginner. In fact, it’s pretty damned good, period. What needle groupings did you use?

Oh and it’s not bad work.

A bit dark and you have rake marks. Try crosshatching when you’re shading and that should help get rid of them.

Wow, that’s really, really nice. Gonna color?

Sweet!

That’s too fuckin’ awesome:-)

I use pig skin a fair bit, I have a buddy who is a chef and he gets bits from his supplier, some are smallish but some are fairly big. The gigger bits, yes you can tattoo on then then stick them back in the freezer, or cut off a size you want to use.
They are pretty greasy so you need to clean them up with a bit of rubbing…

how did everyone find this place? I got “the book” with a kit and ended up here. I honestly would have never thought to look for a forum for wanna-be tattooists. I don’t mean that as a negative…we’re just folks that are not in shops.

I’m glad I found it, though. I’ve actually learned a lot here. When you get so many people who…
