    my tattoo artist posted a picture of my first tattoo ever, lately ive been having a little tattoo regret(even though everyone tells me its an awesome tattoo)i went on his instagram and saw my tattoo that he posted and fell in love with it all over again. to know that he is proud of his work makes me feel so much better at this little insecurity ive been feeling towards it.

    my tattoo artist not posting a photo of mine felt…conspicuous. she always showed a lot enthusiasm for the design (she specifically took the project on because the design was something she felt a strong personal connection to…or so she told me.) throughout the session, she kept gushing about much she loved this design and how excited she was that she got to work on it. after the session, she took a load of photos and said she couldn’t wait to post photos on her instagram becaude it was her favorite piece she’d done all year. anyways, i followed her in hopes of seeing the photo. it’s been nearly 4 months now and she never posted it. she’s been consistently posting photos of other clients’ tattoos. so i’m not going to lie, my feelings are kind of hurt. like, why show so much enthusiasm for the design and tell me you’re going to post the tattoo but then never do it?

    I had similar thing happen to me and he gave me a straight up answer: "it is not the style he wants to work on in the future". I totally respect that and I really don't mind, I am glad that I got a style that I absolutely love even if it's not his favourite. I just wish he might change his mind and start doing it more because he is really good at it. But I don't blame him if the thing he is good at is not making him happy. All in all without posting a picture, I am happy with my tattoo :)

      Mandilinaz xx Eczema can be a bit of a challenge but it's defienitly nothing of major risk. Your biggest challenge is itching! The flare up can effect the healing slightly but the largest issue comes down to itching the flare up especially while sleeping. Since the skin is much more irrited with eczema you really need to be careful the first week. All my tattoos have healed beautiful but they were very challenging. I'd have to tie my hands together before going to bed to stop myself from damaging the skin.

The tattoo artist I spoke too had no problem I just would like to talk to more people who have psoriasis and tattoos to hear their experiences. When I get a burn on my skin psoriasis would show up, but it wouldnt if I just got a cut. So its abit risky

    Thank you for making this video! I have had clients get offended and ask me why I didn't post their work, it makes me feel uncomfortable and guilty. Reading some of the comments made me a little sad and frustrated.
    I feel sad knowing how personal clients take not posting/deleting their pics. But also a little frustrated at how personal people take it. To me it seems like there is a lack of understanding between client and artist especially pertaining to the "behind the scenes" of tattooing. I feel like some of your videos help bridge that gap.
    Some other reasons I don't post:
    Not the style I want to be doing
    Not the style I want to be doing
    Picture looks bad from blood/swelling/warping/wrapping etc
    I have so many to post that I just pick out my favs to avoid spamming Instagram. At that point I'm already doing new tattoos and, to me, it's no longer worth posting something I did a month ago
    Its album artwork or an approved friend's design (not my original work)
    Or I delete work if I feel it's as risk for getting copied or it no longer fits my current style
    Not the style I want to be doing
    Basically I keep my portfolio as a representation of my current concentration with a few examples of my breadth work to show versatility. I'm posting with regards to my body of work in addition to showing off the individual piece.

  • @paraescucharrap

      Very normal! I go through my Instagram regularly and delete older work because I my style has evolved further or to help with the overall balance of my page. A lot of people browse artist's page as a portfolio in addition to following them for all of their new work so if I have older tattoos that are in a style that is no longer my concentration then I will probably still get requests for it. It's never personal or because I don't like the tattoo.

    Wow thanks so much I this video. My artist never posted mine and ai honestly thought it was because I have brown skin :( most of her clients have white skin and it seemed like she might not have too much experience with darker skin since we had to make a few colour adjustments. She seemed stoked about my tattoo when she did it so I did kinda take it personally when she didn’t post it.

    I just got another tattoo yesterday from the same tattoo artist that did my lion tattoo. She took pictures of my tattoo with my phone but she didn't take pictures with her phone. Once she finished taking the photos she wrapped my tattoo. She liked how my tattoo turned out and I loved how it turned out but she didn't take pictures of my tattoo with her phone. Makes me feel like my tattoo wasn't good enough to be posted. Makes me feel a little insecure. I showed my friends my tattoo and they said it looks good and they really like it.

    I always wondered about this too. I had an amazing anime tattoo done by a guy and it never got posted. He seemed genuinely excited to do it and it was within his realm of style (which is why I chose him). I never quite understood why he wouldn't post it up as I think it was in his top 10 tattoos for sure. It was my second tattoo I've gotten, but I didn't know about the tipping culture at the time. Do tattoo artists not post their work because their client didn't tip extra?

    2 i should be able to find your other clients to see healed photos and ask about there experience.

    I got a tattoo from an artist I adored and she posted my piece then later took it off her Instagram (granted it might have vanished because of Instagram algorithm). She also does cosmetic tattoos and I went to her again and got my brows done. This time she didn’t even bother to take a photo (meanwhile she took consistent photos of other women’s brow tattoos). It just made me feel ugly and like I wasn’t pretty enough for her to include on her cosmetic tattoo page. :/ just left me with a really crummy feeling.

    I had got a tattoo at a drop in once, the artist posted my tattoo to instagram and then deleted it some hours later. I never asked why, just assumed he changed his mind about spamming tattoos on a long day of drop ins. He also said he'd never done something like the tattoo before and I've never seen him do something similar again. So it just isn't something that represents his work or that he feels comfortable doing more of.

    I've had this question as well. I'm a little sad that my tattoo artist didn't post my tattoo. I'm not sure why. I was there for 2 hours and he took pictures and seemed like he was excited about it. But I checked his IG and he hadn't posted it. But there was another tattoo he recently that was of the same character but it was bigger and he had more free reign on what he could do with the tattoo. And he posted it to his IG as a WIP. And then posted another post today of him showing how it's going to look in color. The person was also doing color.. mine is not. So idk I was just a little sad especially after he took pictures of it.

    Hi, appreciate you sharing. I had 2 big pieces n a small tatt done at my local tattoo artist. I’m black mixed race. I noticed that the artist didn’t have any pics of black customers. But I just thought they didn’t have that many black customers to tattoo. But then I realised, they were having black customers, they were just not posting their tatts. So I left. My thigh piece was really beautifully done n cost me well over £200 but guess what. That was never posted. A week later I saw another thigh piece by the same artiste, this time on a white woman..guess what, it was posted. It was nowhere as nice as mine, as mine was larger n more detailed but I think I proved my point n took my business eldewhere😒

      tattooist here. I'm sorry to hear how you feel, but maybe this will make you feel a bit better. As Holly is saying in the video, there are many factors to consider and its easy to jump to the conclusion that suits your hurt over not having the tattoo posted. I have tattooed very tanned white people and not posted the tattoos because the tan of the skin washes out the contrast/intensity of the tattoo, whereas in real life it looks fine. No matter how many angles/different lighting I took the photo with, I just couldn't get a good image. Maybe your artist had a similar struggle. It is unfortunate as we wish to post every good piece we do. Maybe instead of accusing your artist of being racist, straight up ask them? You can be more accusatory if they see your inquiry but ignore it, or give you a reason that makes no reasonable sense but please don't label someone a racist without evidence

    I had a tattoo artist not post a picture of my tattoo. I honestly think it's because when it was barely finished it was really saturated with black ink and I was really bruised and it probably didn't make for a very good photo. It was also probably because he was an American traditional tattoo artist and the tattoo he gave me was more of a black and grey, Japanese style tattoo. Which didn't really align with his work. At first I took it real personal but now it's no big deal. I've had other tattoos by other artists posted on Instagram.

    I like the honest answer.
    I know on so many places you want people to even see an average photo amongst friends..
    Hhmmm, Facebook.
    They (pardon the language) cockblock your photos as if you're spamming others.
    Facebook has decided that they choose whom sees you most & least & I may post something that even I don't see on my time line.
    But the photo will be sitting in my photo albums.
    So basically no one sees it!
    I really get it may not be your idealistic wotk, or you could see it as more flash than handmade.
    My artist loves to set down & work with you 1 on 1 to get what you want & how you want express your tatt.
    He loves to post original ideas, even if he didn't think them up.
    If he loves the idea, even if it's not completely his style, he loves to say he sat down with his canvas & give them what they want.
    But there are many things he hasn't posted. Some that he honestly thinks won't show his art.
    Not do much of mine, but I've heard or seen a couple of his clients finish up or coming in to drop off ideas.
    & I draw paint & so on, so he knows I really appreciate the art.
    But someone came in wanting a tatt that said
    "AMY AMY AMY"
    For a dead singer? Idk, not my music?
    He said he'd do it, but he wouldn't post it. 😂😂😂
    My artist has been flat out asked to copy my tatts. He tells them he won't. But he does leave them & I'm sure someone may have taken it to another artist to get it.
    Even when I love & truly want a tatt I may see, I always get as many references & ways to make it mine & not someone else's art.
    You seem awesome! Totally a new following for me!

    So when i got my first one (and only one atm but im planning to get more) i did it at the end of January and waited for it to heal. The tattoo artist wanted to take a photo of it complete but i then came back for a touch up on some areas. Sadly i had to wait like 2 months for a 5 minute touchup, and he was apparently swamped with work and the shop was getting rebuilt etc.
    So he and i just forgot about taking the picture.
    My tattoo isn't his usual style and he didn't design it, could be a reason why the picture never happned but then again i do understand that he's a busy person.

    I still am pretty bummed my tattoo(first and only one so far) didn't get posted.It was a design that I liked for many years, and showed to the artist whose style I came across and loved.I wanted that design, taken through his style.And I think he did an amazing job doing just that, taking an already drawn out tattoo (yes, it was another tattoo) and filtering it through his style.
    Maybe that was the reason?Not an 100% original design?
    Still love it though, and I just got in contact with him for my next one!

    I've had two tattoos and neither of my artists posted them. I just kinda understood that its not the kind of tattoos they do. Especially seeing as my biggest one was designed by my partner not the artist. But thats was what I thought was the main reason for some peoples being posted.

    My tattoo artist didn’t post my photo, but she’s not up to date on her social media anyway think it’s due to how busy she is. And also it was on my forearm and it was probably hard to get a good photo cause it did kinda wrap around my arm.

      I hope I'm not egotistical, when I got my 1st tattoo it was from a artist i really looked up to and saw all his tattoos on instagram and when I got a tattoo from him I was a bit disappointed he didn't post it.. might be just me but yeah.

  • @SakuraSsj
    @SakuraSsj 7 років тому +1

    When I got my first big tattoo my tattoo artist didn't even take a picture. i guess because I chose a design from her available ones but wanted it in black and grey, while she likes to work with color. I get it but I was still disappointed, because even if it was out of her expertise the tattoo is still bomb and I don't really get why she wouldn't even take a picture, let alone post it.

      Chiara Morgan tattoo artists do tons and tons of different tattoos. My husband tattoos for a living and posts maybe ten percent of the work he does because he does so much on a daily basis. They're not going to post every single one they do. It's not wrong and shouldn't be offensive to anyone. They just deal with so many people on a regular basis that they're only going to post a small percentage of the tattoos they make.

  • @MrPyroblastic
    @MrPyroblastic Рік тому

    All nice explanations, mostly focused on how pictures fail, but the truth is … 99% of time is due to artist errors. These arguments and excuses from artists are all over online but they always move fast from the most obvious one : human error. After taking a photo the artist have all the time to study what he did. And no artist will post a photo with a tattoo they have messed in a way or another. Keep in mind that those photos in portofolio are also seen by other artists online … and those are judging very harshly.

  • @zeriul09

    meh i have a mostly full sleeve going on, none of my artists have taken pictures of anything after my first one,, i didnt let my second artist take a pic as she was a horrible person and artist (learnt a lesson about going with someone your comfortable with), the next 2, the artist doesnt usually do what i had done and as you said only wants to promote the stuff she enjoys doing which is fair enough i guess, though i love my ink

    I got a tattoo with this very social-network-active girl. She worked in a very well-known expensive place, and her tattoos looked cool. She didn't even took a picture of my tattoo, but what bothers me the most is that I don't really like the work she made on my body. I payed a lot of money anyway, but I felt kinda scamed? Bc like, idk, I trusted her and her beatiful perfect instagram feed, but she made a shitty AND expensive tattoo on me. Idk, I feel very sad about it

      chicahumita that sucks feel bad for you if you ever decide to get another tattoo just know you have the rights to look at the drawing of the tattoo and how it is place on the skin to see if you like it or not before they start inking never hesitate to let them know you don't like it..it can always be reworked til it's right or changed to something else before it becomes permanent

    • @amberackerman9380
      @amberackerman9380 7 років тому

      My least satisfying tattoo experience was from an extremely popular, seasoned, and expensive artist. I've since learned to seek out lesser known/less social media savvy artists who have clean work and a style I like. I feel like they've listened to my ideas more closely and have been more open minded. Sorry to hear you're feeling bad about your tattoo.

    • @Georr17
      @Georr17 7 років тому

      @Jennifer M That time, we did all that. The drawing was fine, and the placement was also fine. What didn't worked was her job. The lines were like, too thick and it looks like a big black mass, you can't almost tell what it is. And as it was in my back, I couldn't see what she was doing until it was too late :/

    Hey Holly I have a question, is there any way in which to not have your tattoo showcased through social media through the tattoo artists social media account?
    Because for me I get the fact in which it is a way to show that of the artists artistic style and to be given credit for that of there hard work but at the same time I feel for me if i were to be wanting to pay for a tattoo i would want it for myself without it being shown to the entire world, not because the work wouldn't be amazing but the fact of how i see it, is that a tattoo may have it's own meaning and story behind it and that maybe something personal to just that individual who has that tattoo, or in order to do that do you need to pay more money to the artist for not having your tattoos on social media because they could lose out on sales due to them not showing your tattoo online?
    By the by I'm new to your channel and I know that this is a relatively old video but while I can still ask I'll take my chances for you to hopefully see this and not be offended in any given way...sorry

I was certainly satisfied with it so no issue there, maybe it was the style as you said in the video now that I think of it

      Amanda Wilkins hey hun I'm a tattoo apprentice. It will depend on the artist, a lot of them will do it for you all depending on the style, size and 'tattooable' quality to the drawing. They will most likely tweak it too to suit their style so try and find a tattooist who reflects your art style. Of course book in for a consult first and chat it all out :)

    I have to constantly email tattoo artists asking them if they do tattoos on non-Whites because all of their IG photos show otherwise. Eventually I just gave up and I just go to those artists who post all skin tones and types. I shouldn't have to reach out except for designs and appointments. If they don't show photos of Blacks, then that must mean they don't want to do tattoos of Blacks and I won't give them my time or money. *shrug*
