Start out small when tattooing. your lines are a little janky (like the death from above) but not to be that they cant be fixed. Keep working at it champ!! 🙂

That “Death From Above” tattoo was the first one I ever did. That was like 5 months ago. It was bad. I asked him if he wanted me to fix it up a bit. He declined. He said he wants to keep it as is so he can periodically show me how far I’ve come. I’ve seen Tommy Lee Wendtner’s first tattoo ever and it’s probably worse than mine. Everyone starts somewhere. The important thing is that I’ve got the proper guidance and I work in a respected licensed shop.

First sitting on this tiny little tattoo. Just roughing it in right now. The shading is going to define most of the detail. Most of the lines were a light grey wash for future reference and will heal super light. She’ll be back in a month.

So much for starting off small…

It almost looks like two different people did the line work, The bottom is nice and clean and crisp but the top is a bit wonky.

That’s because of the grey-lining and the tiny needle grouping. Like I said, had to get it roughed in. Next sitting is going to be finessing and shading the bits together. I promise it will kick butt.

No it already looks kick ass, sorry if I forgot to mention that. It’s pretty cool sitting here and watching you progress into a tattoo artist.

Thanks dude. And don’t worry about critiquing me. I have thick skin and take any suggestions I can get. I’m a work in progress and I need all the help I can get.

Dude came in and asked for a torn skin tattoo with “real tree” camouflage underneath.

Thanks for the high praise! It’ll be a while before I’m really any good. Even though I do hope to be world class one day I don’t need to get rich tattooing. I’m just happy to do something I love.
