Hey man….. EXACTLY!!!!
I too agree that the actual execution of a tattoo is harder than it looks. As far as not pissing people off on here or anywhere for that matter, I feel it’s their loss. If someone. Can’t take the criticism and a little joke from something they posted on a forum, how do they expect to even survive in a shop? I just hate when people post something they’ve created and expect to be praised and treated like a star… that shit’s for the birds, and you definitely will not grow as an artist. All through art school (graphic design school for me anyways), during any of the critiques not ONE person would say anything bad or offer any suggestions. The only thing that that any one would say is “yeah, uh, I like it, it’s real nice” or “nice colors”, etc. etc. etc. When I got an actual design job, I’ve had art directors rip up a project and say it looks like a pile of shit, straight to my face lol.. It’s a shame that you tried to offer help, advice or some suggestions on here and people stomped off crying.
As far as posting other artwork, I don’t have much as I have just got back to doing artwork this year. I was a graphic designer for a little over 10 years, so pretty much everything I’ve done has been digital. I do have some pieces from a few years ago that were for some gallery shows. I’ll post some of that stuff later tonight when I get home. Btw man, thanks for the kinds words about having potential. I’ll have to check out your work… how low have you been tattooing?
