Sounds good!
I too want to see the pictures.

Old school is not for me, but it is indeed a classic style. Glad you’re happy with it.

If your leg is still swollen by your next appointment, it would be wise to cancel it. Also, why the antibiotics? Was it infected?

My doctor suspected an infection and the antibiotics were a result of that. As it turned out there was no infection evident. The swelling should be totally gone in a few days. (It’s almost back…[Read more]

Im a machinist and i know a guy that makes his own machines to sell. But he is a professional tattoo artist.

With the traditional machine verses rotaty, Every traditional machine I’ve seen operating has a fucking rubber band wrapped around it. What’s up with that?

Doesn’t black attract the sunlight even more ? 😛

Sure does. that’s why white is the choice in most desert countries.

Depending on the work being done, my limit is about five hours.

I thought it was a hoax at first.

What it is is really tragic.

Please read the thread “So you want to be a tattoo artist” in the forum “general tattoo questions” it will be very helpful.
I have been puzzled by the number of tattoo machines that utilize a fucking rubber band to keep them working properly.
The kits are SHIT. Ebay sells them by the hundreds.
My artist uses rotary machines for the most part and…[Read more]

Are you talking tattoo machine or guitar machine?
Are you an apprentice tattoo artist?

Welcome to the forum.
Personally I like colors, but some tattoo styles come across much better in black and grey. What is the subject of your planned tattoo(s)? Vlad has some nice work pictured.

Keep us informed and please send photos!

Welcome to the forum.

You must read the thread in “general tattoo discussions” titled “So you want to become a tattoo artist.” You should find this very helpful. Do you have any tattoos personally? Please post some of your work.

I agree with Wardy, Once you pick up bad habits they’re tough to break.

Glad it finally happened! How long have you been waiting?

Whay’s next!

Not sure I’m following you. Surely I’m not the first person here to start with a tribal before doing other styles?

I’m with the bunch here that think tattoos should be “taylor made” for you, not “off the rack” so to speak. Koi fish tattoos can be beautiful, but there are millions of them. Bert used the barbed wire tattoo to…[Read more]
