Name’s David. Running a one-man shop in Eastern PA for a year or so in a slooooowww business area, so I have time to wander around some forums.
Haven’t been tattooing for very long (few years). Prior to getting an apprenticeship took up machine building to get to know the equipment better. Quite some time ago I was a portrait artist (oil, watercolor or pencil) so I had some understanding of rendering going for me when I started learning to tattoo. Still have a long way to go before my work may be worth bragging about.
Thanks for checking out the work. The piece you like is actually an old etching I made approx 20 years ago…didn’t get around to printing it until this year. There’s definitely a vast difference between what I can do on paper and what I can accomplish in skin, so I approach every tattoo cautiously. I would currently rate my tattooing as mediocre, but do everything I can to make sure the customer gets something better than they expected. If a request comes in that I feel is beyond my skill, I refer people to a few extremely talented tattooists in the area. Even if I’m turning business away I’d rather at least to be considered ethical
