Its going on my back. Full width by half length, i think. I’d be open for either the symmetrical approach or the in motion approach.

Just because some of the greats started out this way doesn’t mean that it’s an appropriate path nowadays. People are more educated now and much more aware of the health risks involved in tattooing. Doing tats on live people without going through the proper channels is irresponsible. You’re putting people’s health at risk and you’re also probably scarring them for life with some crappy tattoo. Then again, if someone is stupid enough to get inked by some guy doing tats in his kitchen, I reckon you both get what you deserve. If you really want to practice before you get an apprenticeship, then do it on fake skin which is designed for this purpose.

I don’t believe I said I was doing house tats… Because, well, I’m not.

Using practice skins is a great idea, which I applaud. But it doesn’t do you any good to practice if you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s all I’m saying. For those who cannot afford an apprenticeship, but can afford a machine and some skins, then there should be somewhere they can go to ask professionals the best way of doing something. ONE THREAD.

This place used to have a lot of threads like that. Yea some of them were bad, but some of those people probably got valuable advice that helped them out.

Please if anyone sees a scratcher post asking what they are supposed to do and looking for simple How-to’s then alert Turbo, Demure, or Myself so we can takee the appropriate action on these posts if we haven’t done so already.

How are people to learn, minus spending several thousand on an apprenticeship, if they cannot ask questions of the “pros”? :confused: I’m in college and have a deep love of this particular art form, but as a college student, I havent the money to afford an apprenticeship. Is doing house-tats really such a bad thing if the art of it is still preserved? I don’t think so, and I, personally, would love having advice from knowing artists to help me move along until I CAN afford an apprenticeship.

I think there should be at least one thread dedicated to learners and “pros” can post if they feel like it or the learners could help each other out. I think banning it completely is stupid. It’s like banning learning.
