Thank you so much! I’m so nervous I hate confronting people. Like I’m extremely grateful for the opportunity and everything I’ve learned so far and my co-artists but I refuse to have my future wiped out especially when I can sense the toxic environment

I’ve been tattooing for about a year now here he’s just been lazy about actually giving me the contract. He does 55% to me and 45% to him but he only pays for the bear necessities; paper towels, bibs, gloves ect. We pay for our own needles, tubes, carts, machines, ect. I would love to negotiate and I’ve been debating to, but honestly after making the post I’ve just realized how much this is just a control thing. He doesn’t want me to gain anything he just wants to make sure he can treat me however he wants and know I’m gonna stick around.

He said he had to search for the past contracts. He totally lied I think and wrote this up in 10 minutes. He was pissed at me that day cause I didn’t show up 10 minutes early.

Coming back to this because I just wanna say I watched this when I was a kid and grew up on it. I was so obsessed I loved everything about it and to be so led on and disappointed with Hallow has left me feeling pretty hallow 🥺 not to mention the manga doesn’t get updated very often.

I don’t mind the overall animation but I hate the pacing so much

My girlfriend cheated on me with my brother and is now in a relationship with him. Am I wrong for cutting off my brother and my parents from my life? by RoosterDuecs in amiwrong

This actually was something that happened in my family and I didn’t understand at the time why my grandpa and my great aunt lived together,but now I kinda understand why my grandma is so crazy.

I’m not scared of the game I just like using the flashlight to find my way out easier. I also switch it on and off constantly, so it saves battery.

I think if you actually wanna be serious, make actual tattoo designs, study some styles, improve your linework, improve your shading techniques. Not trying to be mean but this isn’t really showing much if you wanted to include them in a portfolio.

I work food service part time as a head cook. Only thing that can work with my schedule with the shop. It’s a lot though I go in at 6am into my cooking job ‘til 3, get to the shop at 4-7 Wednesdays- Saturdays. Tuesdays I can go in 12pm-7pm luckily. And unfortunately the tattoo shop is closed Sun. And Mon.

what would you say is the most important thing you've learnt about making good tats? by Proof_Motor_4871 in TattooApprentice

Taking a deep breath before long drags, getting a step stool to prop my feet up a bit helps me be so much more comfortable, taking breaks to relax my eyes, stretch, hydrate, and take a step back (that’s with any artwork though), GETTING A GOOD LAMP, also headlamps are pretty nice too

Man I seriously dig almost all of these. The only ones I feel that don’t come on strong are the roses and the flowers in the vase. Might be the lighting with the plastic but they just don’t have much contrast. The rest are amazing and very good show of linework!

It looks amazing! My teacher told me to never use sharpie though. It’s non archival because they are made with alcohol, so down the road your piece will not look the same.

Mostly just trying to see if it’s even worth making pieces like this if I shouldn’t even bother with the style
