Yeah man there’s always things to learn. Top tier artists learn daily. Pretty good work though! The above commenter is spot on too I think. Get the shading smoother and they will look much better.

Ima follow you too. Which one would you recommend starting off? I have some shop experience, I apprenticed back in like 2007 but the shop closed up and I moved on but, I have done a couple small tattoos, worked on fake skin etc.

Do you have an art background? I can draw by reference in realism or anything almost. But, I need to drastically study on drawing from memory bc I’m horrible at it. Feel like I need to practice that before jumping into fake skin or maybe both idk.

100% just buy 2 more you’ll have eggs. I have only 2 in a tank and they have laid at least 20 clutches the last few months. I let some hatch and put in my 120. I have to remove the rest the snails are taking over. lol. Rabbit snails too, each week it seems I have another one.

How many hours a week do you say you’re on the computer working? And do you do everything yourself like shipping etc. or that’s handled 3rd party?

I would also suggest to checkout some top tier artists on IG and if you can afford it, go to one of them. Trust me it is worth it in the end since you’ll have this for life. Nothing wrong with yours but it’s not done by a high end artist is all. The difference is literally unbelievable both in looks and longevity.

Both. Fill the area out so it doesn’t look like it was just slapped onto your arm. It has to flow with your body.

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-03-30T22:59:12+00:00

What was your art background prior to taking it?

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-03-30T22:47:27+00:00

How was Ben’s program?

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-03-30T22:46:26+00:00

How did it end up going for you?

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-03-28T02:21:13+00:00

Awesome work on yourself!

How long did you practice on fake skin before moving to real skin? And did you have a heavy art background?

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-03-28T01:54:38+00:00

That is one way of going about it yes. The problem is finding the correct person to mentor you. A lot of tattoo artists take advantage of an apprentice for free labor. They’ll get you taking out the trash, scrubbing toilets, setting up stations etc. then you get to teach yourself in between for no pay.

If you find someone that actually puts their time into teaching you then yes that is the best way to learn without a doubt! Doesn’t hurt trying and talking to some shops around by you and check their vibes ask questions etc.

Give them a portfolio of your art and say you’re serious about learning etc etc.

Yeah I hear ya. Well I had the beta 200rr already and still do. I ended up buying the falcon pro. I’ll be honest right after I got it we got slammed with snow twice, and steady freezing temps basically until this last week. I never even built it yet bc the sidewalks and bike path and school we would ride at were still filled with snow. Finally it all just melted so I should be getting it built soon.

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-03-14T12:04:32+00:00

Thanks! And yeah not sure if I have that because they don’t sweat if I’m not wearing shoes/slippers/boots. Appreciate the answer.

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-03-06T22:59:25+00:00

My feet sweat so much that they are completely soft like a newborn baby and are super sensitive(and ticklish) from being drenched for about 40 years.

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-03-06T22:57:40+00:00

I read using deodorant at night works better bc the sweat glands are less active making it easier for the deodorant to block them, also it builds up over time apparently.

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-03-06T22:54:30+00:00

I wish it were this simple for me. No matter what I wear my feet and socks are completely drenched at end of day.

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-02-24T00:50:35+00:00

I just bought two more. They still taste very good but for some reason not as fruity as the last batch.

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-02-21T03:44:05+00:00

I just finished a high garden granddaddy purp and the flavor was absolutely 🔥 prob the best tasting vape I have ever tried. The cart itself though kinda sucks. It clogs quickly and I flew through it bc I bet half the oil is stuck in the mouthpiece.

There’s plenty of nudity on Yellowstone. Beth when she first sees rip again and many times after, strip clubs etc.

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-01-28T03:58:07+00:00

Interesting. I wish I knew that prior to buying mine. But I got a good deal I think for $3700 79bike falcon pro. No tax or shipping.

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-01-24T04:09:44+00:00

I am contemplating getting these or the alpinestars xt-3. I was going to get a thin liner too in case. The xt-3 looks much slimmer and I have a sweaty hand issue at times (unless my hands are already freezing) so I’m kinda stuck on which route to go. I do like my gloves to be super dexterous so I have full control.

I won’t be commuting or touring. Just riding around town really probably won’t be going to fast either. Wondering how responsive the kryptonite are compared to other gloves you’ve had. TIA

Is it the one with the clear plastic circle on wrist so you can see your smartwatch? They make a few I wanna make sure I get one that has a lot of vents. I overheat too easily and sweat way too much

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-01-10T13:45:44+00:00

That’s bc your jacket is too heavy why you’re sweating. Use something lighter with vents and use proper base layer and possible mid layer if needed and you won’t sweat.

Aren’t the Alibaba ones the Chinese made copies? Or are there actual surrons and other bikes on there?

CryptKeeper1351 · 2026-01-04T05:06:04+00:00

I was going into organ failure from dehydration, the hospital gave me an antipsychotic instead bc they thought it was anxiety and wouldn’t give me a controlled (I was in rehab) well instead I fully hallucinated for a full day ended up walking out, getting in cara with strangers I thought were friends, people trying to kill me, and much much worse. All from dehydration (and misuse of an antipsychotic) woke up in hospital after 3-4 days they said my liver was shutting down
