From an artist to another artist, AMAZING work, keep working on yourself, and moving forward to your goals and dreams! Keep ir up! Ill be here for the next video, I LOVE that panther!!!
I don’t think it’s impossible. You should definitely go for it. The problem in this industry is that there are a lot of toxic people in it. There are some good ones too of course. For me, the biggest issue was talking to people I really didn’t like. I’ve never had the capacity to fake an energy that wasn’t there. The people that I did get along with respected the fact that I was an introverted person. Accepting the bad with the good was much too draining for me. So I decided to teach myself. If you go the apprentice route, I urge you to find somewhere with people you like and maybe a smaller shop. Also you will have to make a very conscious effort to step outside your comfort zone. I often resorted to default to maintain my energy. Don’t be like me. 😁 best of luck on your journey!
I was in a toxic shop environment and honestly if they decide they dislike you, they really don’t change. It sounds like you dodged a bad situation and I hope this new apprenticeship goes better for you ❤️ that tattoo artist who said you couldn’t watch them tattoo was being a jerk for no reason. He could have given you a reason (this is an intimate tattoo, the client wants more space, etc). There are so many good shops out there that don’t suck and will treat you well. ❤
It sucks that so much of the industry can be toxic. I’m sure I did dodge a bad situation. Sorry I wasn’t clear but this was my second and last apprenticeship. This shop had two locations that I had to rotate between. One location was more toxic than the other. I do still look forward to finding a shop to work in that is a vibe! Until then I’m teaching myself. Thanks and love ❤️
Don't feel bad, people are very draining to deal with. As far as being yourself; People are going to feel about you however they feel. Don't walk on eggshells to appease someone else's prejudice. They will come up with a reason not to like you anyway. But that is just my experience. Keep doing your thing!
I’m in the exact same boat, don’t blame yourself- remind yourself some men in the industry consider themselves ‘old school’ and they demand respect when it’s not earned so they get a kick out of being controlling. My mentor lost his shit at me after we’d been bantering for months, in the end I found out from the other artist he said he just doesn’t like me or my attitude. Once they decide they don’t like you, it stays and it’s mainly because you’re not grovelling.
It sucks that happened to you! Yeah it seems to be an unfortunately common occurrence in the tattoo industry but I’m sure there are some non ego driven shops out there. Will you attempt to find another apprenticeship?
What I see your artwork was amazing job! For artist to other artist, I am grateful for this because I am working on my portfolio for being tattoo artist even it is my first time ever and I am still learning to do the portfolio book and iPad book for tattoo as well... What was your suggestions for me to do this part to put it together? May I ask you for your opinions?
Thank you! I do have an apprenticeship portfolio video on the channel if you want to take a look at that if you haven’t already. What can I help you with?
Cost of living is significantly cheaper here. I have access to San Diego without the cost. But there is give and take. What you save in money you spend in time.
Probably . I’m not familiar with android devices. I use procreate. But I think you could use the majority of drawing apps to create designs. You just have to find one that’s comfortable and meets your needs. Some other app alternatives would be SKETCHBOOK, PHOTOSHOP SKETCH, and CLIP STUDIO PAINT among others. You can also google procreate alternatives for android and do some experimenting :)

Thank you so much! I’ll keep pushing through :)
I can relate to you. I’m also introverted wanting to get into tattooing

Than you! It seems like I’ve had to learn this lesson a few times. I think it’s finally starting to sink in. I’ll try my best :)

Why mexico? Its always interesting to me when people say they moved to mexico with so many mexicans moving out.

Can i use android tablet for making tattoo designs? What app i should use
