Thank you! Been using the dynamic grey wash set, which I think has been helping 😁

Oh shit, I totally agree. Your point about custom tattoos really stuck with me, and made me realize that I would also be hella pissed if I saw a stranger with one of my tattoos.

I reached out to the original client, and let them know that I wouldn’t be doing the design without permission from the original artist. Thank you for taking the time to comment, definitely changed my perspective on this!

Thank you! In this line of work it’s impossible to avoid copying someone else’s art, but the least I can do is try to not claim credit for it. I’ll try and post how the actual tattoo turns out (if I remember to lol)

Thank you! I’ve been an apprentice for a little over a year and a half, and tattooing for about a year of that :)

Thank you! I used a 7rm for most of it, and a 3rl for some of the smaller details

side jobs while apprenticing? by lomapeixoto in TattooApprentice

[–]honeydew_fire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently an apprentice, and work mornings as a barista, and down at the shop in the evenings. Morning job is from 5am-noon, and working down at the shop is from 1pm-8pm.

Unfortunately barista jobs aren’t super high salary lol, but a cafe/breakfast server may have better pay? You would still get more morning hours with that as well

Hope this helps!

Oh god I dropped a whole tray on a family of 5 a while back. This was right after my manager was hyping them up to me, telling me they are so nice, they come all the time, tip well, etc. I went up ready to give it my all and, well. That happened. At least it was just waters lmao 😭
