How the hell is watching you making a tattoo gonna teach me?! EXPLAIN!!!

[spritefish]

holy shit, you sound like those forum weirdos. If I was in the profession, that would be a blessing. the more fuck ups, the more money you make. let em scratch, at the end of the day, your the one fixing it and getting all the credit. all apprenticeship do is get you to work for free. there are books, videos and countless references that can teach you. no artist if going to hold your hand while you ink. that dumb "scratcher" motif needs to die along with forum trolls. throw em over the bridge!

@bcrawfordflushing the ink does splatter but use vasalene and put out on the section ur about to work on and rub a thin layer snd it helps the needle glide wich causes less ink to splatter

[bcrawfordflushing]

I gotta question, I'm just starting out and I bought Blacker Tattoo Ink 8oz to practice with. How thick should the ink be? And when I tattoo on the practice skin, Inks splatters alot? And lastly, were can I find a website/fourm about everything you need to know on tattooing. Or perhaps a book?

@spritefish i couldn't have put it any better myself i remember meeting joe capo bianco and he told me he started tattooing before he was really took under someones wings and look at his work drive and determination is the key as well as like you said keeping your tools in pristine shape like they say a carpetner is only as good as his tools thats why i tell a lot of people don't be cheap spend a little in the long run it's totally worth it =)

[spritefish]

@villehermannivalo666 Its true. tattooing is just another art-form. I believe the most important aspect of it, is keeping your tools in pristine shape. following health guidelines and aftercare, since the procedure is just as important to a tattooist as it is a surgeon. technique can be self taught way before inking your 1st client. there are various skin-like materials you can buy if you rather not work on pig skin. once mastered, the rest is history.

@CatsPurrfect good point. lol not all of us can afford to pay sumone so we can work for free an learn the same shit from a friend or by experience. Alot of shops have that ego thing going to where they just think they are superior. But in reality they are pissed because they still make way less then scratchers do cuz we dont pay rent on a shop or have to give ne of our money for maintenence.

@spritefish i totoally agree been in the profession just under five years now but spent most of it learning myself as my mentor was a complete and utter prick finally good to see someone who shares the same views as me
