as far as the BPP im not sure. ask your local heal department :3

personally i prefer coil. if something breaks you just replace that part. if something breaks on a rotary you pretty much need a new rotary. also as far as adjusting you cant adjust most rotary. with coils you can pretty much fully customize it. i primarily use hildbrant coils so id…[Read more]

no problem
i wasnt 100% sure so i double checked in my Basic Fundamentals of Modern Tattoo.

I can agree charging him for the fix, I wouldn’t touch anything up if he allowed someone else to jack it up. It’s shop policy here that if you come in, pay for a small session on a large piece and get the outlines done, then goto johnny handpicker down the road and he/ she jacks it all up then you come back to have it “fixed” you are more than…[Read more]

The people who talk shit are gelouse bru. People talk shit sbout me all the time. Especially when I take their clients. Its just them feeling threatened. As far as fixing it go ahead. However buddy is going to be paying full price for the fix. This is because you are no longer fixing YOUR mistake.

The reason you’ll want to fix it is because your…[Read more]

I mostly dislike Tribal, and Script

Script because I’m an artist not a calligrapher. Script is also meant to be STRAIGHT, and FLAT. Nothing on the body is straight, and flat. That’s why people add all those swoops and bells and whistles.

Tribal because it is just an old ’90s fad that died in no time. No one knows the true meaning of tribal, and…[Read more]

The short side goes to the positive and the positive should be at the rear bind post with the negative at the front bind post

Try using M1 M2 or RM. With a flat it is too easy to damage the skin unless you know what you’re doing

Apprentices should not do feet or hands until they have been inking in skin for at least 3-6 months really. Way too easy to jack up in that area and then (for any decent shop that is ) it is now the shops responsibility to fix the jacked up ink. Time is money, and time spent giving out free ink to fix a mistake is time away from potentially money…[Read more]

I’ve never used scream, only thing I know for sure about that ink is that a few years ago they had a major recall for their reds and yellows I think. It was some bad bad bad stuff. And I believe there is still a class action lawsuit going from that for people that had some permanent problems from it. No I am not joking…Google scream ink lawsuit.…[Read more]

hahaha…say that one to a client in a slingblade voice…….” hmmmmmmm you got nice skin hmmmmmmmm.”
:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
ROFLMAO…..

Here’s a link to a hidden page on our website that has a pretty decent beginners tuning guide on it.

Script script script………I admit this not only to myself but to my clients as well. I have done so many letters, words, initials over the years that I do cringe when someone wants any kind of script. (Nice title by the way) :lol:
But as many letters as I have done, I will do them carefully and exact, and I can honestly say that in my years I…[Read more]

Well your so far dedication is commended. As far as an apprentice goes I wish it was just that easy for someone to say they want it, we take them in and kabam an artist is born. Apprenticing is sometimes hard because not only do you have to have drive, but you have to be a good mix for the shop chemistry as well. I’ll return your email and talk to…[Read more]

welcome to our forum, we’re glad to have you. my first suggestion would be to get rid of the…[Read more]

Welcome :D

I’m sorry to hear Val. I hope things turn around. School is kind of pointless if you are miserable, and cant even read your child a story. I think taking a break was the best choice. Glad to have you back.

as far as the tattoo I’m going to save and big comments for when it’s finished. I don’t see what you see as a finished product, and I’d hate…[Read more]

welcome :D
