thank you very much :3

how do you feel about millennium mom’s?

as far as the tattoo the design is good, but you need to really watch how you’re tatting.

some lines look scratched, and others are blown out
the outline is pretty shaky
your lines arent very consistent either which makes the symmetrical look completely die
you could have also used different colour values…[Read more]

lookin good bro :3
ive seen all of these on facebook. glad the shop is going so well

dude those are super rad. i did a quick skim through them. my pc is broken so i dont really have time to take a detailed look, but i enjoy what I saw! :3

Don’t let what people say get you down though. It is true you should branch out. It’s not really so you appease other people’s stuff, but if people only see zombies, and such they will think you cant do anything else. You need to show people what you’re capable of. Try to be professional. The “Zomg im awesomesauce” is fine in PERSON, but when…[Read more]

People need to chill out. If my pc wasn’t broken I’d hand out warning. Nicole you ask for criticism and you get angry when its given. You can react how you want but really take it with a grain of salt. As for you saying you aren’t flowing with ego you should read your posts and your page. Saying you’re decent enough to be an apprentice and such…[Read more]

Using small liners is a learned experience. I only recently (in the last 4 years) started using 1rl’s for some of my line work. But I agree with Ram. Get used to larger needle sets and getting your hands trained in straight lines before you move on to the smaller needle sizes. When you can lay decently longer lines with no wobble, stop mid line…[Read more]

Sometimes it’s the little things that make someone think ya know.

I would still feel wary of using well water, the thing of it is that you never know IF anything has gotten into your water source. While this may not affect it’s ability to be drank, not so sure about inserting it into the skin, even in small amounts. At the very least I (personally) would have a stock of boiled water separate for ink use at all times.

normally people try to push their needle size when they are just starting out
use the biggest liner you can
i dont even use 3RL at my shop
i use 5RL 7RL 9RL and 14RL

i do free touch ups but i hve very strict rules
as far as bugger clients man one client wont ruin your business
just be calm and respectful and tell them you dont like what they’re doing, or how they are acting. explain to them your policies on touch ups, and explain that you cant give them a deal as you are already undercutting the market. i get…[Read more]

I think a lot of the details are lost when the image is shrunken down. I’m going to post a healed version. The light side of the fingers have white highlights

Nicely done. When you attempt portrait work keep in mind there is no right way to do it, but there a ton of wrong ways to do it. Take your time and don’t rush.

Got a bit of feedback on that picture, so I’m going to use a different angle picture I have. That one doesnt do it justice. stay tuned.

EDIT:
New link
