the problem with that show is its more about the story of the tattoos than the tattoos themselves so you dont get to see the process, or hear tips in that one D:

oh wow really digging the new piece!
keep up the good work
you’re doing really solid pieces :)

it is but its best to use disposable cups to prevent cross contamination
we get active during different times of the year
what we need is advertising, and active mods/admin like me :)
we also need to go through our member list and start deleting the inactive members
i tried to do that the other day but the best i can do is prevent them from…[Read more]

First things first: don’t use imageshack. Full of adds lmao. use photobucket :D

Kudos on posting your pics :D
the linework is pretty solid for one of your first tattoos
you’ve got some potential :)
the design could have used some work though. a few tweeks.

your colour/solid black looks pretty good. nice and solid
but your shading looks like you…[Read more]

they even cover tribal a few times in that show :)

good luck
:)

I can just delete this topic and none of this would have ever happened! lmao
considering the original poster has already lost their original post i dont see why i dont

you can cover practically anything with practically anything
the trick is to have the new design larger than the first, and have it very busy. that way it disguises the old tattoo rather than COVER it. that’s the whole point of a cover up

id say come up with an elaborate sleeve idea and knock it out

check out the show Tattoo Nightmares. It’s a…[Read more]

awesome :)
I prefer Zuper Black by Intenze for lining. i find it stays black without an undertone, then I use Kurosumi for my shading! :)

nah there was a post before mine its gone now though haha

another good place is wix dot com :)
It’s free, but they also offer premium packages!

I made one for my studio :)

looking good dude!
keep up the good work and practice practice practice :)

thanks! :D

and forget whom? I don’t remember those people D:

I had worse machines than what Hildbrant sells and I had Eikon springs on. The thing about Eikon springs is they arent prebent because Eikon makes a special A-bar for their springs so they work straight. Youd either have to buy one of their A-bars or bend the springs with pliars :)

yeah it doesnt really matter much. they probably changed it lately. they’ve been doing a lot of updates lately :)

as far as the springs they gave you they just gave you generic springs imo that can do any job. id probably invest in replacing them to match what i said in my post :)
you can buy light/speed a bars from hildebrant too. i use the ones…[Read more]

Tattoo schools arent supposed to replace your apprenticeship they are there to enhance it. You’d do your two week course or what have you to get a foundation, then do an apprenticeship. There is no way they can cram an entire apprenticeship into two weeks. Theres no way you can learn everything about health issues, sterilization, sanitization,…[Read more]

I don’t know why they gave you them set up like that. when I had talked to them before they had mentioned their .444 marlin being ideal for colour packing. It isnt as easy as changing the springs on a machine to change what it does. The geometry of a machine is made to do a specific job, as well as the coils, capacitor, armature bar, and…[Read more]

Never use a tomato. It is nothing like human skin haha. Use only Honeydew melon in the fruit area. Honeydew has the CLOSEST consistency, and resistance to human skin than any other fruit. :
cheers

I’m not sure about the whole white idea, but I do know that when I do a cover up I try to make the new piece a bit larger, and VERY busy. the more detail, and lines the better. This will draw the eye AWAY from the original piece. Even if the original piece isnt 100% hidden the eye is pulled away from the old piece to the new piece with how busy it…[Read more]

This is true. Unless they didnt scan it for two days, who knows. I don’t work at USPS haha. Personally if there was some sort of delay they should have informed you when you called. Oh well, at least they are sending you your package. You’re the first person I’ve seen with an issue with Hildbrant.
