You could be a tattoo artist easily, you have an awesome style. I love it. I'd even want you to draw up the piece I want to get.

Is that some sort of dildo in your avatar though? :)

You could be a tattoo artist easily, you have an awesome style.:)

Being a tattoo artist is worlds away from just being a good artist on paper, though. You can be an incredible artist on paper and not be able to transfer that skill to a tattoo machine.

Yeah, he could just draw tattoos :) What happened to your apprenticing Josh?

What happened to your apprenticing Josh?

Ugh, bad blood there.

The guy that was supposed to do my apprenticeship turned out to be just a total flake on me. I started working at his shop part-time as basically the shop bitch. You guys have all seen Miami Ink, you know that asian guy that's doing his apprenticeship, all the bitch work he does? That's what I was doing. But you've got to start somewhere. Well, he was going to have to get certified as a teaching school in order to begin training me. So I did all the research for him through the state, got all the info he needed, and he basically just kept shining it on and shining it on. I would remind him all the time, and he was alwas like "yeah, I need to call them and find about about this..." or "I need to talk to this guy that called me from the state...". Finally after about 2 months, he fired me after giving me this lecture about how when he tells me he wants something done, he expects it done right the first time. It came about because one time, I left the deadbolt going from the inside door of the shop to an outside room, that goes outside unbolted. And then a few weeks later, he'd asked me to before I left for the night, clean up a pile of wood shavings from behind his drawing table from when a guy came and installed an air conditioner, and I just plain forgot. Ever since then, I've never heard from him again.

Tattoo work isn't fun anyway, pay is so so, not a career move in
my mind unless you flat out love it. I um, don't so. Besides I got
ripped off hardcore by a local shop up here for my art, don't want
anything from any of em' no more.

Besides, lets see your local pen and innk asshole draw this:

Size constrained because Photobucket is a pile.

Is that some sort of dildo in your avatar though? :)

No, that's a ghost, THIS is a dildo. *smirk
And if you look REAL close, there's a dildo in the top one too

damn you have crazy skills

really really nice work

[Digitalwave]

I have know a select few local artist that could blow you out of the water in all honesty, but the vast majority of tattoo artists aren't very good at all.

[kidrobot]

I always tell people im a mediocre at best artist,
problem is, they are the ones saying like above
comment. I guess if you can't draw, I seem good.
lol

Your right, the majority of inkers are.... sketchers,
so if your really break it down, there isn't a huge
well of talent there, if you can follow a line you too
can be an artist. On the OTHER hand, I can't even
count the number of friends I have that make my
shit look like stick figures.

Luckily what I lack in raw talent, I more than make
up for in pure creativity. As of yet I have to meet
one artist that draws in the "style" that I do. Luckily
I found a nitch with Japanese ghost art, no ones
heard of it, so it's "Fresh and New" here.

Even in Japan I found it hard to track down artists.
Yay for me.... lol

From here there will be less B/W Graphites, and more
charcoals and digital colors. Pages will probably be mixed
in the end so its not bw bw bw color bw bw bw color etc
