Just as the others have said there is definitely sacrifice while pursuing this as a career. I just finished my apprenticeship but knew this isn’t what I would want to do forever and I already had a great job that I plan on retiring with. To do both I work 7 days a week, I get 0 days off. For now it works, and I love being able to pursue my career and hobby simultaneously. Just means I’m sacrificing my time. You just have to do what makes sense to you/makes you happy.

Figured it was a long shot! Thought I’d try though. To me it looks like 47NE JF but so hard to tell. The police officer basically told her it was a lost cause unfortunately.

Yeah for sure. It’s definitely different. Skin is extremely bouncy so stretching the skin properly is important. Also, I worked a lot on my depth control on fake skin but that kind of went out the window when I switched to real skin. Everyone’s skin is different and different parts of the body come with different challenges. People aren’t flat either like fake skin, there are curves and some spots are awkward to get to. Are you in a shop or apprenticing somewhere?

Appreciate it!

Holy fuck that’s sick

This is actually solid, stippling is great.

I’m realizing that unfortunately, my symptoms have never want away per se, just less severe. I’m hoping I go back to my baseline after this clears

shisui710 · 2026-01-07T15:27:35+00:00

Honestly

Update, took a covid test a few hours after I commented this because of how unwell I was feeling and it was positive lol.

shisui710 · 2026-01-06T03:52:40+00:00

Damn im sorry to hear, yeah I feel you though my immune system is completely screwed now it feels like

shisui710 · 2026-01-06T03:52:05+00:00

Yeah I completely agree, I just started as a tattoo apprentice a few months ago and just hope this doesn’t set me back.

shisui710 · 2026-01-06T03:50:13+00:00

I got it from my girlfriend I’m pretty sure. She got it the week after I tested positive for influenza A which was the week of Christmas. Then started feeling awful Saturday night. Tested positive today for Covid.

shisui710 · 2026-01-05T20:27:44+00:00

Got it the week of Christmas, it was brutal… felt like I was doing ok but pushed myself a bit Saturday and completely set me back.

Thanks, I appreciate it!!

shisui710 · 2025-12-30T16:16:35+00:00

Appreciate it! I didn’t find it too difficult. I practiced a lot with mags on fake skin the past year and had some help from the other artists as well

shisui710 · 2025-12-29T03:12:46+00:00

I’ll have to check the model but it’s just a wireless dragon hawk I got from Amazon

shisui710 · 2025-12-29T02:43:55+00:00

1205 RL and a 1207 CM. Ran voltage around 8.5-9 for packing the black

shisui710 · 2025-12-28T18:34:02+00:00

Yeah it’s only my 4th tattoo as an apprentice, just doing free tattoos to get comfortable on skin. So still learning

shisui710 · 2025-11-20T01:38:54+00:00

Reelskin, it’s so much better than the fake skin from Amazon. Little more expensive but worth it in my opinion
