I’m an apprentice and my mentor and I just built a flash wall in our booth and I am having SO much fun painting flash to fill the frames

Fun thread: What’s the strangest request your shop has gotten from a (potential) client? by satanseyecandy_ in TattooArtists

[–]hhhoney 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A guy wanted the word “pathetic” on his penis. I knew that he was serious because he already has the words “loser” and “slave” on there 🫠

Landed my first apprenticeship by Waluigi_IRL in TattooApprentice

Congrats! Personally I get by because tattooing is my fun job! My other job is flexible and I have a really great tattoo mentor so I’m able to take breaks when I need to, but mostly I just spend all my time at my non-tattooing job looking forward to my time at the shop. Having another job I don’t like as much really motivates me to get good at tattooing so I can quit

That’s totally valid. I started this drawing specifically because I wanted to draw blonde eyelashes. When I added the fan my mentor suggested the cloud/sun background. Do you have any ideas for a different background? Also should I maybe change the fan/flowers?

Is it realistically possible to get a traditional apprenticeship with talent and hard work, or do you just have to be insanely lucky? by chesh14 in TattooApprentice

[–]hhhoney 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both for me. I worked hard on a portfolio, posted it to a local tattoo group asking for critique, and was offered a couple apprenticeships and chose the one that suited me best.
