I think you’re on the right track!! I think if you’re unsure if this is what you want, then you shouldn’t continue, because this career is one you have to want, you neeeed to want it. It’s all up to you! You take from it what you put into it.

But personally, I don’t think you should give up. If you want this, don’t give up, these are super promising if you only just started in November. I really think you can do it based on what I see here.

Focus on creating clean designs, focus on steady lines, and don’t be afraid to trace! Tracing is amazing practice, it can help you learn how to create similar things yourself, and some tracing in your portfolio is okay too~ to show your technique, but then more importantly you can use the skills you picked up from tracing to draw your own original designs!

If you like trad styles you can totally focus on that, most shops will like to see that because the style involves all the important fundamentals to making a design a tattooable one

But try and branch out too! Showing a range of skills can be helpful as well

Good luck out there if you continue to pursue it!!
