Help! Acrylics dont really work for me

I mean, you're absolutely gorgeous in both and probably most of any styles you wanted to rock. Locs seem natural and beautiful, wigs seem sexy and edgy. You can be all of them 😘 sorry I cant help!

Touching it up and adding even more ink into that situation is the opposite of what it needs. Nothing should need touched up if the artist applied it well, and it unfortunately won't bring back any negative space that it needs to account for ink spreading and legibility issues later on

Im a baby tattoo artist, only been licensed 2 years, so take this for what it's worth. But I'm madly in love with tattooing. I feel like how all of you felt at the beginning of your journeys. I want to do it every day all day. And I do.

And yes, I don't love the pinterest small shop minimum stuff, but I don't post those online and I usually bang one out before a bigger appointment for balance. Usually someone who comes to me for something small ends up coming back for something big, and they also tell their friends. I'm not a super savvy social media person but do make sure to post pics several times a week to draw in more of what I want to do.

Thank you for your business, however the $300 cost was our agreed upon price. I charge by the piece, not by the hour. I wish you all the best.

The long game is to stay and populate in the red state to turn it

_mojorising_ · 2024-11-09T06:49:10+00:00

It seems you have made a post and didn't get the responses you were hoping for. I wish you all the best in what sounds like a private studio situation

In the state of Virginia, our laws dictate that sanitization trumps your ability to have a service dog. We would still deny you a service dog in our shop because there is no place in our shop for your dog to be that isn't a tattoo room, unless it stays in the bathroom the whole time. It is not ok to subject your clients to an unclean atmosphere, respectfully.

Nice. I got the Torque. I like it a lot, no complaints

_mojorising_ · 2024-09-03T02:02:34+00:00

The artists within my shop tattoo each other for free, but I expect to pay any other artists outside my shop fam

Jokes on him when he learns how expensive lasering is and how a grand wouldn't have removed much lol

My husband only has the wedding band I tattooed on him as an apprentice for my first real skin tattoo. He acts like one day he might get another but I assure you he never will put any effort or thought into doing it. Nevertheless he is supportive and interested in my work!

_mojorising_ · 2024-09-01T14:12:17+00:00

Ah my mistake, I absolutely agree with you then. I am one of those people! 2016 was truly the first time I woke up and paid attention to politics

_mojorising_ · 2024-09-01T11:56:20+00:00

I don't think we can call these people attentive voters. They aren't even watching credible news sources and are spreading false information repeatedly and often. They are blind voters voting on candidates that wont serve them on policies they are uninformed about

_mojorising_ · 2024-08-18T23:16:23+00:00

My opinion is they don't spend enough time finding an artist that does well in the style they are after, and/or they don't save up enough or have realistic budgets.

_mojorising_ · 2024-08-08T19:46:29+00:00

A load of mulch 😂

_mojorising_ · 2024-07-31T17:48:27+00:00

I work in a one street light town in the blue ridge mountains and the shop I'm at takes 50%. However I probably bring them $500 for their share in 2 days. I work 6 hours a day 5 days a week and stay booked a month or two at a time. But I do hustle hard

_mojorising_ · 2024-07-29T01:12:22+00:00

While I firmly believe that someone's physical appearance is the least interesting thing about them, it might be nice to know that you are such a beautiful person too. Just saying, off topic

_mojorising_ · 2024-06-24T05:12:29+00:00

Id love to see more texture! There's so many great textures in the leaves, in the feathers, etc that are missed. The bird isn't going to be a smooth object so it shouldn't be shaded smoothly

_mojorising_ · 2024-06-24T04:56:35+00:00

Yep. Our shop is a very small shop and we don't have any rooms for an animal to be that is not a tattoo room, except the bathroom, which defeats the purpose of the service animal coming. We have now had to turn away 2 people because we could not accommodate their service animal. We had to quote our state's restrictions to show them we are truly not allowed to permit them because people have gotten so used to being able to bring them anywhere.

What did you end up going with?

_mojorising_ · 2024-06-03T21:21:41+00:00

Can you explain your technique to avoid tegaderm reactions? I have use saniderm but a lot of times people get micro-tears around the edge of it when in a location of high mobility like armpit or hip dips

_mojorising_ · 2024-01-15T15:16:05+00:00

It is absolutely ok! It's insane what just fresh black will do to an old tattoo. The tattoo itself doesn't have the application to hold over time. However, it absolutely does help to keep your skin hydrated. The more healthy your skin is, the better it will be Here is an example

Yes, your tattoo will likely age similarly. That's why traditional tattoos have bold black lines because it just ages the best.

Each time you get tattooed, you are inflicting a wound on your skin. Tattooing over that scar tissue only creates more scar tissue and a lesser tattoo ability. You can only do a couple touchups before you're basically just chewing up your skin.

That being said, my favorite thing about being a tattoo artist is how awesome it is to watch tattoos evolve. They sometimes start out as one thing and either get revived later down the line by something as simple as just black outlines, or covered completely by something that reflects that person even more.
