Goddamn Scratcher!

I've spent the last year working on a portfolio to do an apprenticeship- I've designed tattoos for people and I've refused point blank to touch a tattoo gun till I'm at least learning,from someone who knows what they're doing, I'd never want to tattoo a person if my work looked like that!

Who the fuck would do that to themselves- Here's hoping the laser treatment id done better than the tattoo

oh yeah why is there a suit of armor behind him, it looks to be his height and size... what does he do with his free time???

[halspal271]

it looks like a steady hand but you would have to see the tattoo after it is fully healed, on that last line he passed over it a couple of times to quickly the lines are thick however, you still need to pass over precisely and slowly to produce clean and smooth transitional lines and plus its a small peice so it's not that much of a challenge to maintain a steady hand... his coloring sucks,purple leaves have gaps between pigment and skin and the flowers look like ninja stars or something.

crap!

[iaminsanity]

his proccess is basicaly mid.. From what I've been learning an have learned, I am further or at the very least on par with this quality, Thiis guy does have apretty steady hand, something that took time, but who knows if he was ever a good paper artist either.
