It's worth noting that none of the tattoos in this video were done by me. I don't have many photos of tattoos I've done that do a good job of showing what a blowout is so I just pulled some off of Google
But that speaks to ur expertise at what u do. The worse of a job someone does at something the more noticeable it is. U really sound like u love what u do.
humble brag James ;)) jk
If you see this comment, can you do a video about overweight people and tattoos. In the video you said they are more at risk of blowouts. I want to get more tattoos, but I am on the overweight side.
@@Jhazahra I would like to know about that as well, tattoos to cover up scars. I've always been told that you can't tattoo over a scar. But in recent years I've heard that you can. I have a couple of scars that I would love to get covered. I really hope he does a video like that. Thank you for bringing it up!
Jafriqah I know your comment is a couple months old lol but I got self harm scars covered in November, maybe this helps: I researched a lot beforehand. In the end I went with an abstract black and watercolour design and it’s beautiful 😊. Scars should be fully healed, ideally a couple years old. Scars might blur more easily, so stay away from fine lines & go with bolder designs. Seek a artist that ideally is experienced in tattooing scars, or at least cover ups. Don’t be to strict with your design, your artist (should) knows how to work with or around bumps, discolouring of skin, adapts design according to texture. Best case scenario, your scars add depth or humour to the tattoo. Hope this helps ☺️
I respect that you admitted how you learned by trial and error and blew out a line. If I ever get a tattoo, I'm coming to you. Thank you for your integrity.
It happens to the best of us. I still get minor blowouts once in a while. Every artist does if they put lines in their work. They're really hard to see though, especially once I'm done coloring
smh my artist told me it's free background shading
Lol
Teak K wow
Lol!
That's just smart marketing when things go wrong.
Hahahaha 🤣😁
Can u please talk about tattooing over scars for your next vid
L C yeah would love that video I have a scar all down my forearm and would like to know if a tattoo on it would work
If its a year or two year old, then you can tattoo over it. But the artist still has to be careful.
If it's a very old scar from a long ass time ago then your good
The way you explain everything you talk about is very important to know before you receive a tattoo. You have help me with thinking about my next tattoos. Thank you
It’s so amazing to me how complicated tattooing truly is. But we love it though!!! Thanks for taking time to do these videos I can imagine how busy you are brother.
Your voice is so amazing and calming, just sit here and soak in the knowledge
Agreed🦋
Fr, he’s really well spoken
Haha same. I just play the videos even if I already know.
This video covers blow-outs so well! Thanks for clear, direct and simple speak. Very informative
Love the honesty in this video. We all make mistakes and we learn from them. Much respect!
Very informative, thanks for sharing your knowledge 🙏
LOVE how you present your information. your a natural teacher \speaker.
Such helpful info. You answered all my questions, thank you.
Just wanted to tell you that I love how you do your videos. I mean the little intro sentence, then your intro, and the presentation of what you're going to talk about with every step. It's so well organized, it's very satisfying! 😁 And f course very informative content well explained, what else could we ask for?
more tattoos, more b roll. there's always room to improve lol. thanks for watching!
Again really interesting, James! Thank you!
I would appriciate a video on the ... let's call it psychological aspects of being a tattoo artist. E.g. how do you deal with the emotional impact of a client having a piece with a deep emotional meaning done (like death of a loved one etc.). And how do you (as the tattooer) deal with the fact that you are causing your clients substancial pain while you do your job.
All the best from Germany!
These are pretty good ideas for videos. I'll figure out a way to spin them and add em to the list
I love ur videos. It's making me think deeper about my next tat.
Its a shame you are so far away from Munich. I would love to visit your shop in Person to get a Tattoo from you guys.
My one and only tattoo has blowouts in some spots and flaked off in others. I got it when I was 16 and the tattooer just asked how old I was (I said 18) and didn’t ID me. I’m 29 now and I’ve always wanted more tattoos but I’ve been holding out to spend a lot of money on one from a GREAT artist.
My first tattoo has a blow out, at first I thought it was a bruise while it was healing. It's on my upper, (inner) arm, which I heard is kinda common. Personally I don't mind it, my tattoos are colorful and i have blue skin near my tattoo. Eh, my tattoo is still rad.
I wish I knew about this before I got one. I think.mine is turning into a blowout. Got it a week ago.
@@1971caz38 yes same! Mine is still the same blue color! 🙃🙃
I got blue shading near the crook of my elbow on the inner arm and have a blue blow out also, i thought it was a bruise initially but 6 weeks in and its still blue haha
Omg same my first tattoo on my arm just like 2 months ago it’s a word and thin cursive I noticed it a few weeks after it healed after I got it and I was so insecure and depressed cause I thought why did I do this although nobody has mentioned it yet or brought it up while looking at my tattoo maybe they are just trying to be nice but now I’ve Jhay accepted it and I meant it’s not huge band honestly looks Just like it’s part of my veins since it’s on my Arms
@@1971caz38 I have a sleeve on my left arm and no blowouts, my suggestion would be remain as still as possible in the chair, and find a very reputable artist with at least 10-15 years of experience. My artist has about 12 years, but I trust him with my life with that needle especially after seeing his previous work on others and what he did with my first one was outstanding. I have super realistic/detailed tattoos mixed with a cartoonish/anime kinda look, definitely not easy to do.
I love listening to you talk lol. It’s soothing 😅
Let’s get a video on how to coverups darker tattoos
This explains so much my shoulder tat was blown out. I got Roman numerals when I turned 22 and didn’t know at that time about tats. It spread out and I never new why. Thank God I’ve learned over time. I now research tattoo artist and wait up to a year before even getting work done to watch there pictures and clients etc on instagram.
Same
James I want to see a video on what type of obligations a tattoo artist has after a deal is struck/agreed on as far as holding up there side of the deal so deposit is paid appointments are kept and artist has started with first needle poke? Should it come out the same?should it be as black as promised? Should it not be hazzy? Should their lines be clean? Spaces be even? No mistakes in the tattoo ECT.... All things leading up to the quality of what was talked about and them not milking the clock for biting off more then they can chew/ or past they're skill level? And what if it's not Turing out how the tattoo should? At what point should you say look it's not Turing out? Should you let the artist keep running with it trying to make it better? And why should the client pay for more if the artist can't deliver what was agreed or promised? Why should a client be at mercy for a artist to run up a clock because they don't have the skill set they say they do? At what point should you back out? Ask for a refund? Let the artist know your not happy? Not have to pay more for no delivery? And shouldn't the artist be confident in the hours quoted? Or price quoted? The client isn't the professional here what steps should they take after the job is started?
Thanks for your honesty💪🏾
I wasn't the smartest. I was at a tattoo convention, waiting for my artist to show (had booked him weeks in advance) and I was talking to another studio at the con. They could see I was thinking about getting some flash while waiting and talked me into getting some, one from each of them. These two guys were really nice and excited when I showed them what I wanted, and I sat down and let them tattoo my hands. Nothing huge, a triskelion and a hexagram on each of my hands. The triskelion turned out so fucking good, no raised lines, no blowout, healed perfectly. The hexagram on the other hand...it has blurry ass lines, some places where the shading didn't even take, lines missing in places and raised bumps in corners. I am so sad because I love the motive and placement and it's supposed to be part of a matching set so I don't just wanna cover it up. Do my warning is, don't get talked into flash if you're uncertain and just because one artist at a place is great doesn't mean all of them are.
Got my first tattoo last october and I watched a bunch of your videos before I got it and it made me very confident to undergo it :) . Thank you!
I didn't know slapping tattoo could cause blowouts while healing. I used to slap my tattoos (gently) to stop the itch, but I will stop doing that now.
you can do it gently without harming the tattoo to stop the itch.. it's just the hard slaps that are going to fuck it up. i would use caution in areas that are prone to blowouts though, like inner bicep, collar bone, inner thighs, etc.
Thanks, I will keep it in mind! @@JamesWithee
Every time my tattoo itched I put more of the aftercare cream my tattooer gave me on it. I was 50 when I got my first tattoo,so maybe I fretted over it too much,but the cream helped a lot and it still looks awesome
I normally dry heal my tattoos, sometimes I will use a little aquaphor. But if I have an itch on a new tattoo I run it under some hot water and it relieves the itch super good.
Love the vids man. Also love to see the growth!
I had a tattoo done a few years ago (pre-covid, the tattooist was pregnant and wasn't able to finish it in the session time) and only just noticed how much thicker the lines have become, 2 weeks before my appointment to finish it with a new artist since the og (who just traced sth I designed) moved far away.
thank you for the video! I hope my new artist can fix this without too much effort :')
This is so informative. The guy that did my blow out was the owner and did tattooing for over 23 years. So there was no way I thought it would happen.
Still happens even after doing your research. I got a guy 15+ years experience and his portfolios looked great. Still got blowouts on both the pieces he did, which were around the collar bone. Fortunately, they are minor blowouts and I can get some black and gray background done to cover it.
i once had a tattoo artist who was very heavy handed and made two of my tattoos have blow outs. they even scarred. i still love the design, but i want to get them to be altered so the blows outs and the scarring arent that visivble. should have done better research..
It’s deposited in the dermis layer. Epidermis, dermis, hypodermis/subcutaneous (i.e. below cutaneous/skin)
Great topic, I had some minor blowouts when using a new liner coil machine I bought...It turned out it was going too strong, probably built for bigger needles (as in American traditional) so me using it with 3rl wasn't the wisest Idea...I've learnt to deal with the machine and keep it low on strength, but I'm also saving for a fine lineworks one 😊
Thank you as always for your lessons!!
one thing i didn't mention in the video is that smaller needle groupings, like 3 liners and single needles, tend to blow out more easily than big groupings. it's because the pressure from the needle is more focused on the smaller ones. so yeah, you gotta run them way softer and faster
@@JamesWithee yeah, I noticed that...damn you single needle tattoos!!!XD
you're the one UA-cam channel that I'll "like" before I finish the video 😅
Good content and great information.
love your videos James, was wondering if you can make a video about your black and grey setup? what ink do you use? thanks in advance!!!
I have a few blowouts, both happened with artists who were very experienced and they had done other work on me that there was no problem with. It's just a little haziness along a line, mostly I think I would be the only one who really noticed them. I am working on an American Traditional bodysuit. I guess that I just have accept that some blowouts will occur, however as I cover more and more skin, I think they will simply get lost and not be as noticeable as if I had just a few.
Great job explaining. I have a 20 year tatt vet that is pretty well respected tattoo me. He was shocked when 2 of my tattoos had blowouts from him. He hasnt left one on me since. I felt bad even showinf him but i trust his work which has always been immaculate. One of mine is in my ditch, so i feel like its my skin if anything
yeah the ditch get's blowouts super easily. in my experience though, old school tattooers get blowouts more than the newer generation of artists. they tend to emphasize speed more because banging out flash all day every day was the standard OP back in the day. so a lot of them are just trying to get it done as fast as possible to give the client more value and get another person in the chair. if one is prioritizing the quality of the art above all else this method can be undesirable though. it all depends on what's important to you as the client
I have a little blow out on my inner wrist tattoo. It’s still cute but the artist made a couple mistakes and it was simple design. Got a complicated cover up the other day and no blow outs or line mistakes. It was on the back of my neck though. Plus that artist probably has more experience
for my first tattoo, i got a simple line work at a nearby tattoo shop. and when the guy started, it wasnt that bad. it wasnt even painful to say but he got to a certain spot, i was shaking bc of how bad the pain was. it was so painful but i just thought it was how sensitive my body is. its been a month & half since i got it, the whole tattoo has healed except that part. i talked to another tattoo artist and she said that he poked too deep and its having trouble healing. now im scared i’ll get a blowout and his lines werent even crisp.
Did it heal? Does it still hurt?
Well if you don’t have ink running all over it’s not going to be a major blowout. Also suck it up, you knew what you were getting into lol. If you’ve broken significant bones like a femur for example the pain of a tattoo is about nonexistent even in the “worst” spots
Thank you, really informative and interesting.♥️
James the Dermis holds the ink, the second layer of skin.
Thank your for explaining what a Blow out tattoo is. I have a blow out tattoo on my inner arm.
Does a fine-needle tattoo decrease the possibility of blowout?
Can you pleaseeee talk about japanese tattoos!!!
I have a minor blow out on one of my letterings. I was like why is there minor smudging on one of the letters lol
Great videos very informative. Could you plese do a video about weight fluctuation affecting tattoos. I have tattoos and want more on the torso sides under bust etc . But I am on many long term medications so I go from a size 0 to a 18 and back again over and over allso if I get pregnant in future I’m concerns about that so what would your advice be for people in that situation . Appoligies for spelling
Some tattooers with huge followings have blowouts in their fresh pictures, but no one seems to raise the issue. It's troubling when I really like their style but can't trust their technique 100% if I ever want to get a piece from them! It's great that you're educating people on this topic.
I recently had work done and there is a big needle drag in black ink through what should of been block orange colour. Its really noticable... how could they not notice what they did
no skin is created equal...even the best artists can experience blow outs
facts
Thank you for making this video
thank you for watching it
Informative video thanks
I have a serious question. My tats is 3 weeks old now and I've been putting lotion on it everyday before going to work. Is it still ok to continue putting lotion on it even though it is almost fully healed? Also, it is still itchy and tight sometimes. I wanna know how long do I need to put lotion or should I just leave it dry all the time and just do washing everyday? Your reply will be much appreciated.
Love your videos brother!!! Will you be at the Philadelphia tattoo convention?
yes i will. i have saturday and sunday booked. still have friday available. maybe not for long though. one of my other clients is gonna notify my of his ability to book that day within the next couple of weeks
Cool that your u share your knowledge bro,
Can you do a video about burn victim scar cover up or major surgery scar cover up? Do medical tattoo artists have to do separate special training as scar tissue is so different?
Same with it literally needing touching up i got one 3 weeks ago it needs extremely touching up but the place i got it aint repsponding to facebook messages since i brought it up and asked how much the touch up will be as going to another place to get it touched up will more than likely charge for touching up another artists work thats new but tempting to do it myself but no doubt that one would be a bad idea esepcially with it being on the hand and not a clue how to tattoo
Love this video... I was also wondering about elevated tattoos. What causes them?
it's usually minor scarring caused by too much trauma in the skin
Great video James, found it extremely informative. Something I always notice in your videos, but especially this time, is the quality of your presentation skills. You do a great job, I definitely tried to take a page out of your book.
Thanks man I try to organize it as best as I can. It's just hard to keep the videos from getting super long. I always end up cutting out a lot of info
James Withee I think that’s completely normal, with more experience you’ll be able to prepare and execute a mental script that fits the videos appropriately. At the end of the day, it’s these organizational skills that will take any presentation/video to the next level.
True. I think that's one of the things that has helped me get the positive feedback I'm getting on here. I'm not the only one that knows this shit. Just the only one putting effort into explaining it properly lol
James Withee yeah of course, it’s smart decision on your behalf to capitalize on the lack of content in the industry and using it to your advantage. I think we can both see that translate greatly into your rapid increase of following.
I think your right about the liners, but part of the reason shading doesn't seem to cause blowouts is that the surface area of the needles is spread out on a mag. It's like a bed of nails, because they are spread out they just don't penetrate as far as easily. So it's way harder to accidentally go too deep.
true dat. i use that analogy all the time when explaining to clients why the liner hurts more
How painful is lazer tattoo removal as you mentioned getting a tattoo to me felt like a cat scratch, is lazer removal very painful?
Dude Yo.... I appreciate ya man, I enjoyed the vid alot and I learned more than what I knew, stay groovy Brother -=subbed to ya
There are basically 3 skin layers. The top one is divided in another x layers (I could name them in german lol) and the bottom one is fat tissue so the middle one is the one where the ink shohld go.
Liar, If you knew them in german you would know the in English. Epidermis is epidermis in both languages. Though sometimes in german its called the oberhaut but epidermis is more common. Dermis is the same in both languages. The sub-cutaneous is called subcutis while not exact is pretty damn close to english.
It's official I'm coming to you for my tattoo when I'm 23
I love your videos! They're super informative and not a lot of tattoo artists are willing to really talk about most topics you've covered. Can you give us your thoughts about tattoo copying? Thanks (:
thank you! yup that subject is on my list
Great video, I just got half of sleeve yesterday and like u said i'm trying to not move the tatto area but at work I have to move a lot, so I was thinking to wrap it with clingfilm during work while it heals, do you think that's okay?
I have a tattoo on my hand , it’s basically just line work and shading, the middle of the tattoo it’s kinda shiny . Lines aren’t visible. Is it possible for me to go back and tattoo over it again ?
I'm super late to this video, but my most recent tattoo at the very end of the session one specific part hurt so bad, (its blackwork/geometric) I have a really high pain tolerance, none of my tattoos have ever hurt. I'm the kind of client that will literally be falling asleep during so I was confused why it hurt so much and felt so deep.., turns out a week or 2 later i noticed it blew out in that exact spot a lot. Sigh.
Just thinking of my pain I under go I'm even afraid to go back for blowout seriously because since I got my tattoo it have been 2 days and I'm seeing the blowout all around my tattoo alot
I have a blow out on my tattoo is there any way I can cover it up?
Do think #10 style "bugpin" liner needles would be easier to cause blowouts?
good job brother...
Just stop by to hear him talk. This guy could literally talk about clouds and i'd still be on him.
😅 same tho
Where could i add you friend to ask you few questions i am interested in ? As far as i seen you are honest and expirienced tattooer and you could give me me maybe right answers because nobody could yet ?
I went to a shop to get a quote on a finger tattoo, they said they wouldnt recommend it because the fingers always lead to blowout :/
They almost always do if they're on the side or bottom (palm) of the finger
I myself have never had a blowout but I've had a friend who had a blowout and she was very upset cause it looked pretty bad and had to get something done around her piece to "cover" it up thank you for your knowledge like the other person said you should do one about tattooing scars
Getting tatted gives me life
I love how you’re so professional and knowledgeable but you’re like “tell them to fuck off” and “that shits gonna spread”. Lol I love your videos
🙏 very informative
I have different parts of my body tattooed. My inner forearms never had problems with anything, however I had to go back every time to retouch my sleeve and arms tattoos because the ink would come out. Three days ago I got my thigh tattooed and I think it's blowing out, it's looking bruised, a black shading that wasn't here yesterday, I'm freaking out a little
Is it ok now?
I love the way you say "tattoo".
Benny Boi your weird
I noticed sometimes with pulling lines I might have to make another pass, I try to be a bit more light-handed. Can that cause blowouts or keloids? Or could it be from how I run my machine? I run it at 8 volts for lines
My psalm tattoos are ruined from going too deep they got literal holes in them I was scared that they were infected because of cheap ink or something because they are really hard and raised. It rejected a lot of the red ink. I really would like to fix it but not sure.
I love this intro song lol
does voltage cause blowout too ?
i went and got another tattoo yesterday with the same guy who did my first one and the first has a blow out which i don’t mind but i was the first one that he has had with it but he did offer for me to come back in sometime and line it again and another guy said to use cocoa butter and rub in
Can you do a video about what to do if part of your tattoo is infected?
Yeah that's part of my aftercare series. It's in the works
Ok im a new sub and I want to know why every now and again my older tattoos will swell and itch?
i don't have a definite answer to that question, but i know exactly what you're talking about. some of mine do that too. it seems to be in the areas that are more heavily saturated. maybe it's the body periodically reattempting to get rid of the ink particles but failing over and over. i don't think that it's an allergic reaction to the ink, because all my tattoos are black (carbon based) and some inks used on me are made with just carbon and water.
Bro i done my tattoo
my tatto’s skin come up
What can i do?
Blow outs happen with most artist time to time during the beginning of careers and I agree light handed artist is the way to get tattoo cause if it's to light and falls out you can always add more ink and touch up but try touching up blowouts it's crazy 🤪
just wondering have you ever done a video on ink rejection? and how some skin doesn't accept the ink very well. I had one of my chest pieces heal really bad and it was almost immediate are my tattoo artists finished the piece the tattoo just started pushing this clear liquid from the whole tattoo. it scabed and scared really bad took a look lil over a month to heal. I will say my artist made up for it and fixed it and gave me some free work as well.
personally i haven't ever run into a case where the ink totally "rejected" and just wouldn't take in someone's skin. it's happened to a very small degree before, but it was because the client was on blood thinners. the tattoo still healed up pretty nicely. this might be fucked up to say, but in 95% of cases when a tattoo artist says that the ink is rejecting and is blaming it on your skin, it's because he/she isn't applying it correctly and is making excuses to save face. i'm not saying that it legitimately doesn't happen.. just most of the time it's a bullshit excuse lol
James Withee my artist never blamed it on my skin at I even went to a few other reputable tattoo shops and asked why this happened and everyone was mind blown as to why it happened to and when I told who does my tattoos they were even more surprised because he has a reputation of being one of the best artist in my state. it's been years sense that has happened but time to time well talk about why I heal like that.
ah i see. maybe you are one of the rare ones that legitimately has that problem
James Withee there's that possibly. I always notice if I just get a hour or two I heal great but but any amount over I tend to have to get touch ups.
I only have one blown out tattoo. I've had a bunch of tattoos done by one artist and only one has a blowout. It's on the inside of my arm and it's very faint. I did get another tattoo in the area where the blowout is most visible. It doesn't cover it completely but it sort of obscures it. The funny thing is that the tattoo itself looks perfect, and the blowout is very large but very faint. I'm also veeeeeeery fair. I think that if I had any other skin tone you wouldn't even be able to see it. It did bother me though. It really did look like a big bruise. I still see it in certain light but everyone else seems to just think it's part of the 2nd tattoo, so it doesn't bother me so much anymore. I'm still going to continue getting tattooed by that artist. Every other tattoo he's given me is perfect, so I'm not about to get mad about an accident like that. I recognize that I'm extremely fair and the skin under there is pretty thin and sensitive. Plus it's a fatty area for me, which I hadn't even considered might be a factor.
This is probably the best video explaining blowouts that I've seen to date. You're a rock star my man.
thanks! that's one thing i forgot to mention. extremely pale skin is way more prone to blowouts, if only because it's more visible on that skin type. it's a double edge sword.. that skin type also allows for the highest level of contrast in tattooing, which is great
Getting my first tattoo the end of January on my ribs - mostly linework. Is there anything as a client that I might do that could accidentally cause a blowout like involuntary flinching? I'm fully set on location and aware of the commonality of high pain for ribs.
How did it go? 😂
@@koolaidshower almost 3 years later and it looks good to me! mind over matter on temporary pain you volunteer for..
My new tattoo it moves when I lift my inner arm up. I think this what fucked it up.
Please make a video about after care and what you recommend
it's coming
Yay !
Got some blow outs on some tiny leaves near my wrist bones smh. How could I tell? well the scabbing are smaller than the black shades around it...i'm not sure if they are blow outs but right now it pretty fits the description. Mine are still healing so idk yet
how did it go?
So what to do, when my tattoo is like completely faded after a week.. like I can barely see my tattoo now
Jenae young that most likely means they went at the tattoo too light handed and the ink didn’t go deep enough
Got tattoo is 8 days ago som parts are black now its pealing some black parts i see its coming nice but there's one little part on the bottom that it pealed and looks cloudy blue..ish is it normal? Should i be worried?
2 things, number one I saw it suggested by someone else and I liked the idea about you including a tattoo/tattoos of the day in your videos. It could be pieces that you've done, other artists, or maybe your viewers sending them in. Number two I was wondering why tattoo artist never/rarely put their initials on their pieces? I mean I get it if someone wants a tattoo that says mom with a heart around it they don't want some random dudes initials there but serious tattoo artists probably tattoo pretty elaborate pieces frequently and it makes sense to put your signature on it. Also as weird as it sounds now, I think if it was common it would not be considered so. I mean someone can paint someone a portrait of their loved one or whatever and put their initials on it without it being weird, just a matter of what the norm is I think.
As an artist, I like the initial idea a lot. & That's coming from someone who has full sleeves & work in progress leg sleeve tattoos all of which were designed by myself. I still wouldnt mind the tattooer initialing my tattoo. Even if I drew it, they perfected the composition, gave final stage input & actually tattooed it. But especially for a custom piece. I wonder what that might mean for a tattooer who copies another artists work or "Pinterest" tattoos. Should they also initial even if not the original artist??? Food for thought.
i'm probably going to start vlogging tattoo sessions soon, so the tattoo of the day thing would conflict with that because i'll already be featuring my favorite tattoo art frequently. featuring other's tattoo art isn't really something i'm interested in either, because it might appear that i'm just trying to use other's creative works to further my own channel like a lot of these random tattoo pages on ig do. as for the signature, i've had clients ask me to do it, but i never wanted to because it just feels weird. if it's an illustrative piece that i drew from scratch i think it would be more appropriate, but a lot of tattoos that we do as tattoo artists are realistic ones that utilize photographic references that aren't our original content. it's kind of a grey area where it's taken from a copyrighted photograph but heavily modified to make into a cool tattoo, so signing it seems to claim totally creative originality when often times it isn't
@@JamesWithee ok cool looking forward to that, but for myself, I research an artist a lot before getting a piece and the artists themselves is a part of the tattoo so I think signature would just add value to it
Learn what kind of person they are.... not all tattoo artist are good people especially the the good ones.... just because a artist is good at something doesn't always mean they deserve you respect... that comes with time and getting to know that artists... trust me they're alot of good artist that are just awful people and unfortunately they were blessed with talent for art....
Can the little jerky muscle movement that happen when getting lower legs tattoos can fuck up the application process and give you a blowout?
yeah, sometimes. it's tough to control that jerk tho
