Hey, my name is nick. Just joined up, currently have no tattoos but a few piercings. Looking at getting my first one done very soon, I have 15 hours to work with (fixed the artist’s motorcycle in return for 15 hours of tattoo work). I’ve wanted to get ink for a few years now but never quite had any ideas good enough to motivate it. As perfect timing would have it, as I was getting rather serious about it I ran into this barter and jumped right on it.
I want to get a rather detailed half-sleeve (I’m trying to organize my ideas in my head for a quality final piece), and go from there. This forum seems like a great place for information for someone like me, hope to learn alot and go about it the right way. Too many of my friends have sub-par or trendy tattoos that they got on impulse, and some are regretting it already.
