coming in late, beautiful portifolio btw, those paintings at the end were amazing, but I just didn't get one thing about the apprenticeship experience, as an apprentice at the place you talked about did you even learn about tattoing at all? I thought the name "apprenticeship" meant that you were going to learn the process, the techniques and all that, but it sounded like it is just a "secretary" position and thats it which really sucks.

😊don't give up they did the same to me not where your were at but now I got non stop clients everyday making good money. Keep up the good work.

You art is great😊

I was just in awe the whole time…

Oh wow I’m happy you’re still posting. I enjoy following beginner artists on their journey. I’m currently looking for an apprenticeship myself but I don’t know the best place to get started in buying equipment. Any tips guys?

Thanks for your experience, it helped me to be prepared when I will reach out to the shops asking for an apprenticement. I hope your tattoo careear will find a great success))

If you want the stencil to stay use speed stick instead of stencil stuff on fake skin. After the 24 you can clean it with Vaseline and you’ll have permanent lines to follow.

I have been drawing and oil painting for my entire life and just recently got into tattoos, the thing that I would recommend to anyone who is starting out is to stay away from cheap fake skin from Amazon or eBay, once I went to reel skin my progress got so much better. It is a little bit more expensive but I can get an 11x17 sheet of it for $25 usd. As long as you aren't tattooing on people (yourself included) you can get away with cheaper ink's and cartridges. Your work looks good but if you tried the reel skin I think you will definitely see the difference between it and the cheaper ones. Id love to see where you're at in a year of practice. Always buy quality ink and needles whenever you do live skin and always, always wrap up your equipment and remember that what you do with your tattoo machine, unlike a pen or paint brush, will stay with someone to the grave, so never tattoo someone until you know that you are ready.

Why mexico? Its always interesting to me when people say they moved to mexico with so many mexicans moving out.

I appreciate your tips and advice

Looks great so far! Lines look great too! (I’m just finishing up my apprenticeship) But yes you’re right, with colors always start dark to light because as you wipe the darker colors can transfer/muddy up your lighter ones :)

I’m in the exact same boat, don’t blame yourself- remind yourself some men in the industry consider themselves ‘old school’ and they demand respect when it’s not earned so they get a kick out of being controlling. My mentor lost his shit at me after we’d been bantering for months, in the end I found out from the other artist he said he just doesn’t like me or my attitude. Once they decide they don’t like you, it stays and it’s mainly because you’re not grovelling.

Good shit girl... im barely starting to tattoo myself at 33 yrs old hopefully by the time im 40 ill be really good lol barely gonna start my first practice today

I can tell how much work you are putting into it, amazing work ✨️

Good job, just keep at it 👍🏾🫵🏾🫡

Thank you very much for this video,i got supplies for starting a new painting after feeling uninspired for this whole year basically but then i got sick and have a cold :( When i get better i will start it,i love the "unfinished"painting at the end,( i feel like the negative space really completes the piece,its like one person is whole and the other is hollow,idk thats what i took from it) I think i made my point with how your video helped with my love for your piece haha,deffs inspired

What’s your instagram

I am so glad I found you! i wish we could meet irl I already feel like a kindred spirit. Please know you are so beautiful naturally inside and on the outside you have radiant glowing skin amazing hair you are so articulate and have a natural easy flow to your discussion which makes it both insightful and interesting but also easy to digest exactly as if it’s a chat with a friend. You are clearly a creative soul who is very wise and has gleaned a lot of wisdom from the past - please, keep shining! Oh and in case it seems weird that I wrote all of those different aspects of compliments it was going back to your self love point and feeling “good enough” it was to kind of help remind you of all of the good about you, and your uniqueness ❤

Omg ur art is amazing

What I see your artwork was amazing job! For artist to other artist, I am grateful for this because I am working on my portfolio for being tattoo artist even it is my first time ever and I am still learning to do the portfolio book and iPad book for tattoo as well... What was your suggestions for me to do this part to put it together? May I ask you for your opinions?

loved this!! im inspired :)

Can you link the skins you're using please!

Teen titans??? 🤷🏿‍♂️😂😂😂😂

I love it🤞🏾💕

This sounds SO similar to my experience. Thank you so much for sharing.

I use baby oil to clean the fake skin

You inspired me to start shading. I been timid about starting. I have played around with once, but I’m going to start today! That and color packing

Good luck im also starting to learn how to tattoo but i still need to learn how to draw 😒

as far as improving your lining is concerned. I know this sounds stupid, but there is no stroke adjustable machine that is good for lines. I've tried many, but a direct drive machine is always better (except WOS e60). Try the mast x5 or x8. that won't break the bank, but you'll be surprised how much better it works.😊

Hi😊 Put a second layer under the fake skin. That helps a lot. Start from right to left, to keep your stencil clean. And your lines are okay.👍 You just need to find your flow. After you have bought some quality ink and needles, pull some small lines, somewhere on your own skin and look hiw it heals. Thats how i learned to line on real skin.😅 Today 1/4 of my legg is black because of all those lines i made.😅😅😅😂

Finally😍😍😍 a beginner, wo didnt buy cheap crap on amazon, but invested some more for proper Equipment.😊 Nice collour work btw.👍 When it comes to linework, try holding the machine a little lower and positioning your grip closer to the tip. And when drawing lines with round shaders, try to tilt the machine as minimally as possible. The lines become perfectly saturated when all needles penetrate the same depth.😊❤❤ Ah... And its better to start tattoing from right to left, so you dont make such a mess with your stencil and the ink.☺️😉👍

Can i use android tablet for making tattoo designs? What app i should use

Nice progress ❤

Thanks so much for sharing! About to start the journey myself.

Amazing you are doing well, I’m in this journey with you! i started like 4 months ago

Your lines are so good!

Great work!!! I just started practicing myself. Love your art from the video of your portfolio. Wish you luck

I’m self taught as so and learning more as everyday goes by… ur doing a great job stay with it

I am self taught. You're doing great. U have the right attitude 👍🙂

How do you like the Mast Flex machine? I'm thinking of getting into tattooing myself and I'm curious what you think.

Awesome video . I start tattoo school next week . I’m in this journey with you.

Very lovely 💯

you're doing great!

Sorry for the late upload but more to come . Let me know what you think! Are any of you guys self taught as well? If so let me know how it’s going.

I was in a toxic shop environment and honestly if they decide they dislike you, they really don’t change. It sounds like you dodged a bad situation and I hope this new apprenticeship goes better for you ❤️ that tattoo artist who said you couldn’t watch them tattoo was being a jerk for no reason. He could have given you a reason (this is an intimate tattoo, the client wants more space, etc). There are so many good shops out there that don’t suck and will treat you well. ❤

Your art and creativity is so beautiful thank you for sharing each one and helping others feel inspired

I can relate to you. I’m also introverted wanting to get into tattooing

looks awesome for the 2nd attempt! keep the good work going

Lurker here, I come back to your original tattoo apprenticeship video as inspo quite often (trying to pursue an apprenticeship myself.) Your art is incredible and I'm glad you see you're keeping going!

Dope! Don't be too hard on yourself, and approach it like a sketchbook; embrace the mistakes. Make sure you get better quality ink and needles before you practice on yourself 👍 You know that but just a friendly reminder lol
