Most likely u were told that because newer collectors. (Clients that have less than say $1,500.00 in work on them can easily get confused and use A&D wrong. A&D being a petroleum based ointment if used incorrectly, ie. over saturation, can begin to work as a drawling salve and pulling on your ink causing less then sought after results. The…[Read more]

Lol, technically from an artistic viewpoint its lacking, but then again I intended it as a fun, kinda joke tattoo.

A bit of advice bro. Pull random images off the net, use a light table and do nothing but trace outlines for a long time, use Micron Pens. When you feel confident maybe re-try your apprenticeship. Hard work and dedication my friend will almost pay off. If you are diligent enough you can accomplish ANYTHING you set your mind to.

Yeah, I mean I had to first prove my art was at a level that was acceptable for my shop (and my boss hadn’t taken on an apprentice for 5 years, and something like 30+ people had requested it but their stuff wasn’t up to par.)

Did your artist not give you an aftercare sheet? If not then I would think twice about returning.

I have apx 85 photos up on the album section.

Think for a minute how EASY we had it!!! 20 years ago these dudes were soldering EVERY needle they used, Carving stencils into plastic and using charcoal etc. They had no super cheap pre made…[Read more]

This is 9 times out of 10 just general anxiety. Try some calming techniques next time. I get apx. 1 person a week that passes out on me, be it from piercing or tattoo work. Anxiety causes you to hyperventilate causing your O2 levels to rapidly increase causing you to lose consciousness. Always eat within 4 hours prior to getting worked on also.
