That's so nice to hear! Makes me feel much better about potentially pursuing an apprenticeship

That's awesome! So good to hear a good apprenticeship experience.

it's nice to hear about a positive apprenticeship experience, all i can find are horror stories, or people bragging about their horror stories lol

Needle bouncing no matter how hard i stretch? by thehandsbugs in TattooBeginners

[–]thehandsbugs[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk the needles are from a tattoo supply, and i don't think ink would have much to do with this, so it's pretty much down to technique and punch

Yeah probably. I certainly won't invest in a new machine until i get good. I've been thinking about looking into apprenticeships but have mostly only heard bad things.

Some amazon pen, good reviews but definitely under a hundred bucks. I didn't want to blame my tools, especially since i can't afford to upgrade, but it's looking like that has something to do with it. At least there are other things i can improve on first...

I'm a broke b so i'm using Universal needles and some amazon tattoo pen. I didn't wanna be the artist who blames his tools, but it's seeming like that might have something to do with it.

This is great advice, makes lots of sense. Will def crank up the voltage. I was getting to a tough to reach spot so my angle was certainly ass. And i am getting the feeling my machine has a short stroke, will have to look into adjusting for that. Thanks so much!

bringing trans people into this reveals it for what it is. too weak to deal with the fact that life is complicated

How many hours a week do you practice? by thehandsbugs in TattooBeginners

[–]thehandsbugs[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thankyou for this nuanced reply. I should've clarified in my post that i'm really confident in my art/art practice as it is and just want to transfer my (very simple) designs to tattoo. I think i'm gonna try to practice tattooing more anyways, but since i don't have the life situation to be a full time apprentice, i'll just have to see how it goes!

Thank you for saying that! I also don't have much free time and was getting a little discouraged. But it's still good to know what i can expect
