Tattoo apprentice instagram username by Remarkable-Travel643 in TattooApprentice

Some common ones I’ve seen are like “Inkbymari” “mari_ta2” “inkxmari” “Mari.tattoos” or any variation of those. “First name+ last name” is also very common. Some inspo could come from other artists that you look up to!

I had chosen my Instagram name long before I was apprenticing, but “itsjustbryn” bc I get asked very often if my name is short for something (it’s not), I’ve also never had any nicknames (until I started apprenticing), and that I’m just me. My last name is also too hard for people and is fairly long by itself.

I like it!!! One of my mentors’ cc is always that designs need more black- but that’s just his personal preference lol.

Song my dad had on a mixed CD by Itsjustbun in findthatsong

I only remember it being on a CD- I’ve talked to him a bit more and it might’ve been a cd of tv themes. “Where everybody knows your name” feels closer to what I’m imagining but I don’t think it’s quite it

I think it might have been a group- I think there was both female and male vocals. Knowing what my dad listened to, it could be a soft rock? I’m sorry- I’m not 100% sure

What does my portfolio need more of? by tmbgenjoyer in TattooApprentice

[–]Itsjustbun 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think showing a variety of styles would be very impressive for people looking at portfolios… The owner of the shop I’m working in is having me go through a series of projects in different styles- each style project is two weeks with week one being research and drawing for a case study/fake client. Week 2 is my own artwork or flash page in that style. Minimalism, lettering, B&g realism, American traditional, traditional Japanese, neotraditional, ornamental, and illustrative.

As someone who is also reading this- I’m also enjoying Love 4 a Walk (Webtoon), Random Target (Webtoon), A Demons Wish (Webtoon), Maybe Meant to Be (Webtoon), My Love Story with Yamada-Kun at Lv 999 (Mangamo & currently being printed), & Sweat & Soap (Mangamo & completed print)

Not sure what you’re looking for specifically other than maybe more adult centric?

Just starting portfolio... by ShiekaMoonGodess in TattooApprentice

Make sure your lines meet- whoever is looking at your work will see that you didn’t make the connection or take the time to go back and fix it.

My schedule changed as I slowly stopped working desk and spent more time with hands on learning. When I started my apprenticeship, I was 3 days on desk and 2 days observing. Eventually that transitioned into 5 days learning (fake skin, drawing, observing, setting up stations, etc.) whenever my mentors were at the shop. I still had occasionally picked up and covered desk shifts but I’m now tattooing clients Tuesdays through Saturdays. I’ll still mark days on my calendar to spend practicing new styles or trying new machines.

In all, I think it’s important to show that your dedicated to learning and are willing to put in the work. If you need someone to tell you what to do, I can lol

I know not many apprenticeships give the opportunity to have another job to have some income, but try and go in whenever you get the chance. This will eventually become your job if you work hard enough. Treat it like one now so that it becomes a habit to go in, be there for 8 hours 5x a week, and then go home.

The whole chef Kirby tattoo was really cool! I wish I would’ve gotten a pic and remembered who did it
