just gonna throw it in there… you know actually GETTING a tattoo by an artist is a very intimate thing, and you talk a LOT – this is a good way to build a relationship… just an idea

Yes, good point, it is. Unfortunately I absolutely cannot afford to get another tattoo, let alone the 3/4 sleeves I want :rolleyes:

Thanks for the info chaps, much appreciated. I feel like I’m closer to landing an apprenticeship now!

I think this is a great idea for bonding with your daughter if it’s something you both are definitely set on 😀

I started getting tattooed at 15 (I looked a lot older and I don’t blame the shop). I still love them, no matter how blurry they get but part of me wishes that I had waited. My tastes and standards have changed over ten years.

That’s fantastic and bold, i love it 😀 Lemme see the before pic!

That’s one of the best hannyas I’ve ever seen, I love the placement and the way it fits round the shape of your calf! The shading and reflections are so beautiful and give it such a sense of depth and realism. Great piece, truly amazing work.

That is going to look absolutely superb when it’s done 😀 I love the colours they used in the flowers – they almost look like they’re glowing from the center. The shading all over is gorgeous.

Oh wow, I love this one 🙂 I think if might say a lot about your sense of humour and the concept is fantastic. I can only imagine how the texture of the scarred skin adds something extra to how the tattoo looks and feels!

Hi and welcome.
I would love to see some of your portfolio work and there are many artists around on here who could critique it for you.

I’d love to 🙂

Question: should I start a new thread for it elsewhere? Where’s best? 🙂

Hey again Vak 🙂

What kind of tats have you designed? Do you focus on any particular style? I’d love to know about your work 😀 Ah, you’re only up the road, we could probably go out for a beer sometime 😉

Glad to hear you’re thinking of taking the proper route to become a tattoo artist.

Yes, you can post questions about how to get your apprenticeship or make yourself more desirable as an apprentice applicant. Questions about stuff like that and about how to create your portfolio/show it are completely fine.

Wow…[Read more]
