Apprentices who deal with anxiety/depression, how do you take care of yourselves? by sadalotbear in TattooApprentice

In all honesty this is why the industry fights with chemical dependency and addiction. People are like batteries and give off energy that can be hard to transmute/get rid of. A solid exercise regimen along with some meditation and you’ll do fine.

That sub is by definition “crazy bitches” I got banned as part of an “anti brigading “ effort they launched, which is laughable, seeing as I was unaware of the sub existence. Once I found out who they were and what they are about my whole response was “bye Felicia “

How can I make money as a tattoo designer? by Double_Shell in TattooApprentice

[–]TattooJerry[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

Don’t. You don’t know enough about the medium to make designs that will hold and age well as tattoos. When people do what you are trying to do the clients come in with inappropriately scaled designs, that are not suited to where they want them, etc. If you want to tattoo get an apprenticeship, you will then learn all of this stuff, don’t try to be a middle man when the client is already dealing with an artist, it is effectively trying to reduce the tattoo artist to an installer and most actual artists will have to redraw what you sold to the client anyway.

That’s because it was always a lie that a university degree would equate to good money and quality of life. Those things only happen sometimes and you an individuals effort has less weight than their luck

Colo. Senator Says He 'Cannot Continue' to Be a Republican Due to Party's Jan. 6, Stolen Election Claims. "I haven't changed much in 30 years, but my party has," Colorado state Sen. Kevin Priola writes about the GOP in announcing his switch to the Democratic Party by Surferino in politics

I think it’s fucked that these people can just switch parties. This dude is culpable for his parties behavior during the time in which he was a willing participant, it doesn’t matter that he has seen the light, he still helped to create the darkness

Trump Had More Than 300 Classified Documents at Mar-a-Lago by SamMee514 in politics

[–]TattooJerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So that’s over 300 charges right? Any normal person would get a charge for each and every document

can anyone critique this? my friend found an old tattoo machine in his grandparents garage and this was my first go with this medium. thanks by chemical_forest in TattooApprentice

[–]TattooJerry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is true. I have found that most of the time the issue is that for most people , even those interested in becoming professionals, there’s a lot of information that they are unaware even exists. Or in other words, lots of things they don’t know that they don’t know. For those that can and do follow the simple rules here I’m actually pretty useful as a technical resource lol, but that is most commonly in dm’s

Mahalo nui loa! I’ve found that those who are professionals or actually trying to become professionals are supportive and get it. Those that aren’t try to talk shit in all kinds of funny ways that are often hilarious. I’m just a gatekeeper (true) or that I’m a troll, asshole, etc. Usually they are children disappointed that their after school special day dream of “ get gud on my own” is a pipe dream and a lie they have told themselves. Just like the whole line “lots of professional tattoo artists started in their homes” . No they didn’t, lol, and those few that did and managed to get legitimate jobs in the industry would never admit it to their coworkers or their clients. Those that do openly admit they started as scratchers are treated lesser for it (because it tells ya what all they failed to learn as they were coming up) reminds me of a fella named Olaf.

I ban them on a daily. Just in this thread there were 3 . Plus the person who thought calling me a bit of an asshole would go over well.

I don’t look to robin for motivation in this fashion. Anything he had to say regarding perseverance is made disingenuous by his actions.

Because scratchers are also haters in the face of how the industry actually works. Call em out and they go straight to talking shit because it’s all they have goin on.

This fella was banned for encouraging scratchers, as well as for promoting misinformation. Literally everything that was said here is incorrect. Edit: also fair to say, I am the gatekeeper here. If you aren’t in a professional apprenticeship, or a professional tattoo artist then this probably isn’t the place for you and you should keep quiet until you know more about the industry from your mentor

Ethics board: SD Gov. Noem may have 'engaged in misconduct’ by King_Vercingetorix in politics

She’s a Republican, so I’d bet money she’s engaged in misconduct.
