OK, now time for Canada! I think we should start with Ontario ;)

I looked at it again, and looks like some of the lines will need to be done again as well
what I like to do when I do my shades, and highlines is I’ll take a sharpie, or any marker, and I’ll put two lines on the skin. kind of like a sun beam. this way I can’t forget where my light source is, and its a quick reference for where my shades should be :D

I have it here its a great book

why not? :P
my parents havent even called me to wish me happy birthday or anything so meh :P

nah its photobucket. try using http://www.tinypic.com or http://www.imageshack.com

Quick zombie sketch. I took this picture with my phone to text to a friend. After looking at it AFTER I took the pic I erased the line on the neck behind her bags, and added some 8B lines for line weight.

There really isnt a “Best place” it’s all personal preference.
I buy from http://www.tattoomachineequipment.com I know their operations manager pretty well, and they always do whatever they can to make me happy.

They also have a “Tattoo Refill Kit” which gives you a little bit of everything, then you simply email Richard and tell him your order number,…[Read more]

sorry to hear that bru. i generally don’t trust websites that have that generic set up
have you tried “Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo” by C.R. Jordan?

you’ve definitely got a good start there, bru!
keep up the good work, and i hope to see more.
i think we all hate script though. ive hated it since day one, haha. the sad thing is script is what pays the bills.
I can’t say too much because for osme reason photobucket makes the pics REALLY small for me, so I cant really tell whats going down in…[Read more]

yeah thats how I usually react. it’s not so much painful as it was an annoyance.
if you can get him to go for the shading and its done right i can really give it that depth, and give the Di their shape, and have them pop off the skin! maybe even white highlights

that eyeball is definitely top notch!

I’m gonna have to disagree there.. From everything I’ve heard from it should be fully healed in 6 weeks, not months..

same could be easily said about piercings, but one of my nipples took a year and a half to heal. it all depends on the person, their skin, and many other biological factors. most of the artists I talk to mention…[Read more]

someone has been busy. Good job Valentine.

i clicked the link without reading the post and was like “Wtf this isnt biomech!” lmao
great job dude
once you give it another go itll be filled in nice
maybe add some black shading?

I usually wait 6 months after a tattoo is fully healed before I will go in and do more work on it. it takes two weeks for the majority of the healing to be done but it can take 6-12 months to be healed completely.

as far as needle size as a beginner you want to push the size as far as you can rather than pull it
with script I normally use a 5RL…[Read more]

I renamed this topic. It is now for links to health department links.

welcome :D

that second portrait is so jacked lmao

I would have jumped on the opportunity honestly lmao

I have sever anxiety, and depression so i feel like this quite often. I actually felt like it the last few days really. Honestly, you sh ould have told them to calm down with the Qs so you could concentrate, also no one under 18 in the shop! :3
Thats one of my biggest rules

I agree with spider. Smoke a Pall Mall or seven then get back to it :3
