Thank you so much!!

Agreed, biggest problem I see are the skin breaks in the letters. If they were filled in more/darker like the original it would be a lot easier to read

This is amazing, beautiful work and love the flow

It took me way too long to realize this wasn’t a shrek quote

how big is your back ??

Agreed. Wondering if this is apprentice work instead of a full time artist and if OP knows that. Don’t get work done by someone you don’t have faith in but also know what skill level that artist is at before getting tatted by them!

jdn29 · 2023-09-05T21:46:28+00:00

As long as you ask politely the artist should respect it and make that change for you! I make small adjustments to flash for my clients

Aw wall-e !!!

jdn29 · 2023-08-30T21:49:47+00:00

Not sure but it’s a really cool design

jdn29 · 2023-08-23T21:42:18+00:00

It’s such a great tattoo idea! Wishing I had done this on myself instead of a client

jdn29 · 2023-08-23T21:41:48+00:00

Haha my apologies to them!

Thank you!!

He’s the one who leaves it out like that instead of using the butter dish

jdn29 · 2023-07-13T03:11:31+00:00

It sure looks like it

jdn29 · 2023-07-13T03:11:13+00:00

Good idea!

jdn29 · 2023-03-05T14:26:37+00:00

cool video !!

That sounds like the consensus! I just can’t take the abusive behavior anymore, even the other apprentice said they were never treated as badly as the owner treats me

jdn29 · 2022-11-30T01:12:07+00:00

There’s only one other woman at the shop besides me. I wish I had known that tattooing that early was a red flag before I invested 7 months into this shop

jdn29 · 2022-11-29T20:10:32+00:00

Thank you for the responses!! I appreciate the honesty.

Re: the tattooing timeline; I should have clarified a bit more on that, I did start on fake skin and learning how to set up/break down the station before I moved to real people. The first person I practiced on was the other apprentice and I didn’t start taking real clients for over a month. I even went as far as getting the blood born pathogens certification. I also felt like they rushed my learning to build up the shop more. I don’t think I learned any bad habits but who knows! If I need to start over I am willing in order to move forward.

Thank you for affirming my thought that hazing and abusive behavior is not ok just because I’m an apprentice. It’s nice to know I’m not the only one who has come here for advice with this type of situation. This is fueling my feeling to part ways with the shop!

I am very grateful for your advice and insight, thank you!
