      As someone with finger tattoos. They’re incredibly painful, because it basically tattooing your bones. Not to mention your hands are constantly being used, constantly shedding more than any other part of your body. It will look good for a couple months but it won’t stick by the 6-8th month. You’ll have to get them redone on the regular. It really isn’t worth the money and pain

      Every tattoo artist I asked just tried to talk me out of it. They said they will do one touch up for free but that's it. Coz parts of it fade and disappear so if you don't get it touched up regularly it just looks a mess. But I see people with cool finger tattoos so I dunno. I still want one.

      You gotta understand an apprenticeship is tough and some people pay thousands of dollars and years of their life learning. I didn’t pay for my apprenticeship but I was also taught a very traditional way, and for someone who did pay thousands of dollars it’s very disrespectful to watch over someone if you weren’t invited. The reason for that is because you never know who is gonna try to bum off the technique you spent years to master or bum of your special style. Put it this way let’s say you figured out how to peel an apple and it’s way more efficient and preserved more of the apple and you sold the very well peeled apples and some guy just walks to the back of your shop to watch you peel those apples you’d think he’s trying to learn how you peeled your apples and he does now it’s biting into your business.

    If you want a little more clarification on what a challenge drawing perfect circles is there was a pope that asked an artist to prove his mastery. The artist sat down took out some paper and drew a single line in a perfect circle completely freehand. The pope hired him on the spot. His name was Raphael. He went on to build a significant portion of modern rome.

    I don't have any tattoos, but a couple people I used to know do. Biggest thing they always said, is don't go to an artist with blank skin. This is played out by what Bang Bang was saying, with practicing on fruits, on pig skin, and on the artist's own skin.

      @@solitaryflower The same goes for physicians. I've met plenty that cannot explain anything to save themselves. It's something called "the curse of knowledge". Experts in a field so adept they can't relate to the novice, and thus make extremely poor educators because they get frustrated with the lack of knowledge others have. On the other hand, you have people who read something 5 hours in advance and will deliver it in a perfect way so that it sticks with others. And sometimes, you have experts that manage to retain that empathy and understanding of the unlearned. Those people are gems.
