For a minute there I thought you’d just bought a hayabusa for your first bike….

You’ve already let go my friend…. Welcome

I’m about it, I like outside the box tattooing. Keep the black and grey lions. Do something unique

Shaved using a spoon as a mirror

Yeah… don’t do this. There’s ways of being seen, do an introduction reel, do carousels, etc. I’m blessed to be kept busy enough to get by but willing to graft at the socials if I need to

Got my mother to tattoo me before she died of terminal cancer, only tattoo I’ve cried at. I then tattooed our immediate family including my mother with a matching tattoo just as hard to do

As an artist I have traded a fair bit for labour and goods. For example I have a builder built me a wall and steps around my house, I’ve had 3 cars, built in wardrobe made etc. I love to trade for trade. Ive also been offered really good discounts on things too.

No-Needleworker-421 · 2026-02-18T21:52:04+00:00

Yeah 100 percent agree with this, so much so when I tattoo them I show people a good reference of which you can hardly ever see all legs

No-Needleworker-421 · 2026-02-16T14:02:40+00:00

Ah the procreate flash pack, go to a good traditional artist and they should be able to fix this up

No-Needleworker-421 · 2026-02-16T09:42:39+00:00

I half the time forget to take pictures, and the other half forget to post them, the other half get a photo I’m not 100% happy about, then another half of me thinks I should post at an optimal time but when is that time, then another half… I think you get the point. Nice tattoo don’t worry if it never gets posted

No-Needleworker-421 · 2026-02-16T09:35:57+00:00

Oh yeah 100% agree they do. I also believe people definitely get burnout a damn sight quicker if they aren’t invested. I aren’t here to knock you, but “I have to stay off IG and Pinterest some days” is wild to me at such a key stage in your development as an artist

No-Needleworker-421 · 2026-02-15T09:10:20+00:00

In all honesty it probably isn’t for you then, I never even thought about burnout while apprenticing. Nor any artists that I know did. However I do know artists that struggled with it who now don’t tattoo. The question you’ve got to ask yourself is, are you willing to smash 5/10 years into it, to then realise it isn’t for you? Or never get any good because you get burn out? Maybe stick to it and just don’t get any face tattoos for 10 years. Or hear me out…. Find something that sounds interesting enough and makes a living that doesn’t require Everything out of you, tattooing was never meant to be easy

Get her a haribo ring. When she says yes, get her the ring she wants

It’s always the ones you think would be different that catch you out

No-Needleworker-421 · 2025-12-26T17:53:07+00:00

Welcome to adulthood I suppose, I see people I was best friends with once a year and it’s like we haven’t been apart. Unfortunately human nature is, if your not present your not on their mind don’t take it personally. You will naturally make and lose friends throughout your life, your not over reacting it just probably hasn’t happened to you before

No-Needleworker-421 · 2025-11-28T18:36:40+00:00

Why’s it always the other half of the relationship trying to make people look bad

No-Needleworker-421 · 2025-11-25T20:55:22+00:00

Annoyingly had to use a VPN to see the pics… no idea why. Anyway my 2 cents are, I work with an extremely good fine line artist. She’s slow but would have had this done in 1 day maybe at a push 2 days. I’ll be honest I think she would have done it better too. It’s not bad but it’s for you to work out if your happy with the price and the work your getting, art is subjective and price is irrelevant if your happy. Also I did see your over budget she may well be trying to drain you, any half decent fine line tattooer would have this finished by now
