buffalo on my dad’s…[Read more]

not sure but my teacher always specified it was one not the other so maybe?

i took spanish in High School. I dont remember if it was mexico spanish, or spain spanish though D:

many people have shops in their homes. i have a shop at my place, and so do two of my friends. in canada-other than Toronto-there is no license for tattooing. as long as you pass a health inspection you can tattoo all you like.

For ontario we have a few rules that I can think of off the top of my head:
Trash can with a lid that is food…[Read more]

as ive mentioned to a few people already you could make it easier to keep track of your progress, and reduce the amount of threads by making one thread and posting ALL your art in it :3

i really like the bible page!
as Len I am not a big tribal person, so I cant really comment on it haha. looks good though :3

I agree script is a pain in the butt
i hate it lol
mainly because the beginning of my career was nothing but script haha
its really good for not having a stencil so i wont comment on the letters not being lined up
your gradient is pretty decent! :D

Kokkai Sumi is actually a fake brand of Kuro Sumi
i recommend trying that
my biggest irk with this tattoo is how far your drop shadow is. instead of adding dimension it just makes the design hard to read D:

these are some pretty solid works :3
i really like how you string your photos together ! :D

woah those portraits are amazing! :3
Great job
i also like the japanese dragon
keep up the good work!

haha awesome dude
my first tat was definitely nothing like that :P
i ended up wiping my stencil away and freehanding half the tattoo haha
great first jobs bro!
natural talent ;)

When I moved to the area where I am at now I started in my house in June 2012 after checking with every local shop out here and just not wanting to work at ANY shop out here, they were disgusting!. Finally made enough money and picked up enough of a following to open my shop in a 1000 sq ft building with 3 booths, reception area, photo booth, and…[Read more]

Many of us do it for the love of what we do, tattoo that is. And tbh anyone who says they aren’t in it professionally for the money is a flat out liar! OF Course we are in it for the money when you finally make the leap to go pro, otherwise why charge anything for your art, just goto the shop and throw up your sign that says, “All ink is…[Read more]

thanks everyone!
Felicidades yay!
Feliz Complianos is another one right? :O

Another way is like Rob said and use the triangle method
when you run your machine you look at the A bar youll notice that it makes a sillhouette as it moves
as you adjust your throw/voltage youll notice that youll see a shadow but a triangle in the A bar
the thinner the triangle is closer to the nipple the better it is :3
thats what i do for…[Read more]

doesnt work for me D:

well you did a great job bro :3
she has some nice boobles :O

TBH I have MORE respect for a tattoo artist that has NO ink and more than a decade in the industry because of his/ her level of self-control! Peck is a giant ASSWIPE! I’ve heard the whole dentist with bad teeth arguement and blah blah blah, ok so thinking like that, what ur saying is that if ur going in for open heart surgery, unless the doc…[Read more]

For me it’s always been the thicker the white the better results I’ve had with it. I could understand adding some glycerinmaybe, but witch hazel? That would thin it out imo, making it harder to pack in yes? But then again we get the 1000 ways to do something the right way and to each thier own. The only thing I know for sure to share would be to…[Read more]

oh wow that is fantastic!
did you draw a model or do it using online references or something?
that is a really great drawing!
i dont think ill ever be able to do realism or portraits :P
ive been drawing too much less realistic stuff my whole life haha
i also love traditional Japanese and Old School too much

haha

that is a great drawing though…[Read more]

looks really good for a freehand piece :3
try to get a better camera. the better quality the photo the better for us to judge :3
