Aw thanks :) gonna do that just realised i only have 5rl would of loved to work it over with a 7rl.

I am actually delighted! its the first colour I have done and I am a little proud. I know I have a long way to go but the melon left a happy customer.

I have done a female whom it mostly metal from the inspiration of the metal alchemist (have searched the house for her cant find her).

I want to get a sleeve done of anime with a evil twist, working on that at the mo. Trouble is work, people are saying I am pushing employment prospects as I have a snake bite and tunnels as well as 9 tattoos a…[Read more]

Sounds good :) might give it a lash later :)

Ya?? Sounds good… what’s the site?

My mentor has three shops spread around the munster area, so he isnt in the shop at all times. I asked him for a apprenticeship he took me on but I cant be in the shop every day as he has alot of artists he doesnt have room for me to be in there. Basically he gives me subjects and images etc I draw up images and he looks at them tells me what he…[Read more]

:D Ya :) I am a manga/anime fan! I like chicks with big bums and eyes lol!

No one does tattoos like this in Ireland, well at least in the south! (one of the main reasons the shop took me on, manga is getting popular over here and very few artists do it)

I am not getting big for my boots, and I am not meaning to come across B*tchy.

I have a big personality and lack of tone on these messages come across monotone and are being read multiple ways.

Its not that i am just focusing on this and when he is running through the hygiene set up I am secretly thinking “homophob”.

I get along great with the guy and he treats me well.

Well makes no difference now, I called in this morning with my partner she wants to get tunnels, I introduced her as my partner and after alot of slagging like “I was…[Read more]

LOL! I agree! I do the same thing! when kath was doing the tattoos for charity I was waiting for her to mess up, but then I am just plain evil. mwhahaha

Thank you.

I am serious at being the best tattoo artist I can be, once upon a time I went to college trained to become something after years of hard work I got the opportunity to work at the job I trained hard for, unfortunately the recession hit the country hard and my job went first, I worked for the community made sure elderly didnt have to…[Read more]

From what I see I am the only Irish person on this site and I can only go by what my mentor teaches me.

We dont have a and e ointment in Ireland. Also in the US i have seen people on “how to” videos use deodorant sticks, I am not one hundred percent sure what makes up your deodorant sticks but in Ireland our deodorant is mostly spray or roll on…[Read more]

I called back in today to see if I could chat to my mentor, after speaking to a few friends they felt it maybe something I should bring up now incase a few months they find out and penalise me. He had a full shop, this and combination of nerves I backed down!

Now I am torn I have invested about 500 euro in to this and if he doesnt keep me as an…[Read more]

cjmahone66, you dont know what each persons personal circumstances are so prehaps you shouldnt comment in such a disconcerting manner. I live in Ireland, watch the news at the moment we are in ruins and I am looking to develop skills in other areas in the hopes that I can pay our rent and keep food on the table.

Actually! Johnny the whole thing came up while I was in the my tattoo shop, I called in to see my mentor who was out and I had to wait around a guy I know came in asking about getting a tattoo another gent who is working in the shop told him that the tattoo wasn’t his “style” and check to see if some other shop would facilitate. once this gent…[Read more]

might sound sill but are you coating it in vaseline once you have the stencil on?

My practice skin was really thirsty was a matter of having a steady amount of vaseline to coat on, kinda good though as it gets you in that thought of mind for the human skin and blood!

if you are still using vaseline during tattooing…

I had to read your post a few times over to make sense of it. But here’s my thoughts on this. Sexual orentation has nothing to do with tattooing, and has no place as a discussion between a client and artist in any combination. As a professional artist you are to approach every client as if they have a comunicable disease. That is…

I was looking at that site a few days ago in ireland that is a lot of money. I might try the month one first but gotta put some cash away for it. Thing is … canvas put a lot of time and effort in to this and I don’t wanna jump ship just yet

Wow i like it. just to the casual untrained eye I think it looks good! sits well :)

Ok I am learning my self but that being said I am a artist for years. I feel you may have jumped ahead of your self a little bit with tattooing people. My tutor is very keen for my to try tattooing on people but I am holding back I ink my self but then thats my own skin I dont mind if i mess up on me.

Yes some people are being a little nasty…[Read more]
