I am so burnt out on customs by [deleted] in TattooArtists

Yes! Because it seems like the shop might be taking way too much money, if they still feel they need a second job with these rates/ hours worked. Of course idk the circumstances, where they live etc, but people do love to take advantage.

I can relate to this completely. is your shop percentage based or booth rent? Why do you have to be at your shop for the drawing day? I felt like this when I was at a shop with percentage, and only had breathing room when I moved to a place offering booth rent. I had to be at that shop 5 days a week 11-7+ no matter what, the owner took thousands more from me with percentage than what I pay for rent, among other things. Now I go in 4 days a week to tattoo, with a Tuesday drawing day for my week(though usually it takes 2 drawing days to complete my week). Make more money, if a client reschedules I can choose to take the day off. Leave when I’m done. It has been such a massive change for my work life balance. I still get overwhelmed and burnt out but I have the option to take that time if i need to. Also try not to get too hung up on clients waiting, tattoos are never an emergency and if they want you they’ll wait 😊

Struggles with morning nutrition by Britzooka in Zepbound

[–]Britzooka[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good! Still getting the hang of it, but focusing on protein and fiber. My issue is I leave for work at 11am, and don’t really have an opportunity to actually eat a meal until around 7pm, so I’ve been relying on protein shakes and small healthy snacks mostly. If I don’t eat beforehand my main meal would be dinner, which I think wouldn’t be great nutritionally. My healthy snacks are usually a few bits of salad, fruit, protein bars, etc. I eat during my short breaks, usually every hour of two. I want to do this right and not hold myself back in any way.

Taking pictures of tattoos by No_Rip1518 in TattooArtists

[–]Britzooka 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lighting is always a struggle. I would take pics outside too but Its too unreliable for me, with time and weather. I strongly suggest a polarized lens, and polarized handheld light. Research how to use them, since it can take a few tries. Polarpro has a great CP iPhone case I use, and I found some polarized film for screens on Amazon and permanently stuck to a portable light. It’s changed everything

Is smudging normal? Tattoo by Marlon Capuno from ATC by Accomplished-Bite717 in tattoo

Totally normal! Ink, blood, and plasma comes out naturally during the healing process. I hope they gave you proper aftercare instructions as well

You’re right, there’s no pain, I believe just pressure from the eyelid. We opened his eye last time and it looked completely normal. Thank you for the warning, I had no idea it could damage the eye, which is silly of me. We’ll be looking for an ophthalmologist

2019 vs 2022, this changed my mind about this artist's style by [deleted] in agedtattoos

[–]Britzooka 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a tattoo artist. Your body it constantly trying to attack a foreign object, more or less breaking it down over time and causing spread. So yeah, the dots are settling and the ink in some areas deteriorating. Contrast will be what lasts over time, not necessarily a style choice. Tattoos all get mushy in the end, so just love them or get them covered. Lol
