If you haven't learned yet, Kaedar, there are a lot of people who use this site who are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week to ridicule you for every mis-type, flame you over any controversial subject you share your opinion about, and generally lower the over all quality of the site while telling you how pathetic "your" life must be.

have fun with them, act upset and see how excited you can get them, it's people like you/us that give meaning to their lives!

oh yeah and on topic... nice plants!

Wow!

Fucking A man, put down the machines and take an art class. You should absolutely not be tattooing people.
I'm not gonna go through a critique here unless you want it.

In all seriousness, you really need to develop your art skills, you should not be tattooing

The skulls look cool as fuck, how much did you pay for that?

 

[Jaza]

Cost me Au$800, 7.5/hrs of work. Eventually will be a full sleeve. Just one step at a time

I don't know the conversion rate but good custom work ranges from $100-$150 an hour here in the states. The pic of the skull sleave is kinda blurry, but it looks like good work. Looks like you found a solid tattooist, stick with em. Too many scratch ass butchers in the trade now...........Hint hint kaender

Lol I've had only a few guys ask for an ass tattoo. I turned every one of em down... Had 1 guy that wanted Yogi Bear yelling "Booboo you in there?" into his bunghole.

Yeah, my tattoo artist had 2 years experience and I'd seen her work on a friend of mine, it looked really solid, but I feel like she rushed through my tat and it came out a little less quality than I'd hoped. I was thinking of going to get it touched up by a different artist. Also, the white was never really truly white, do you think that's something that she fucked up on or does white just never really show up all that great in tattoos? My skin is perfect for color, so if it can be white, it probably should be..

And what's with the running ink? I guess a good way to describe it is like if you took a sharpie and ran it across a piece of paper, you wouldn't get an exactly straight line, it sort of bleeds into the tiny tiny grooves of the paper and makes the lines look kinda shaky, compared to other tats I've seen that look like the guy took a razor blade and drew with it it's so straight and precise! Is that just amateurish tattoo technique or do certain parts of skin lead the ink to bleed more than other parts?

White almost never takes well, it should only be used for highlights. Using it in a large field of solid color won't last.

That ink spreading as you describe it is known as a "blowout." The artist went too deep with the needle, the ink ends up in fatty tissue of your skin and spreads out. It's the artists problem, and yes some body parts are more prone to blowouts.

Those fake skins are tough to work with and really don't get you ready for actual skin. That said they are great for strengthening your hand and getting used to the weight of a machine...get yourself some pigskin, best practice material there is.

Your pencil stuff looks pretty good, you have a good grasp on shading. Keep plugging away at an apprenticeship, it's the best way to go. The world has more than enough scratchers (a couple in this thread) already. Do it right and it will pay off in the end.

You are doing the right thing by not tattooing skin yet. Trust me when I say this, most tattooist will not take on an apprentice that's a scratcher. Hell, back in the day if you walked into a shop and showed some of the tattoos I've seen on this thread you would have your thumb broken for ya. I've seen more than a couple scratchers get "dealt with" over the years.

Good luck on an apprenticeship man, keep working and keep practicing on anything but skin. You're doing it the right way.
