Hi new canadain

[antera]

Hello

Just wanted to introduce myself, i am new to the trade of tattooing, i have always had a strong interest in tattooing but just never had to guts to learn, i finally grew some balls and bought my equipment, i have not done any actual skin work yet and dont plan on doing any until i am ery confident in my work and prep techniques, the last thing i ever want is to be called a scratch, everyone has to start somewhere and you try walking into a shop and asking for an apprenticeship with zero prior expierance. talk about laughing. All my work is done on practise skins, and alot of just drawing and tracing practise. After starting this i have a whole new outlook on professional artists, they truly deserve every little bit of respect for there skills and can only hope to make it into the trade and be respected as well, and this brings me to these forumns to learn from you guys and i look forward to reading all your posts.

you need to draw A LOT
at least 2-5 drawings a day :)
Trust me it helps
try honeydew melons instead of practice skin
it might feel a little better
as far as the apprenticeship–at least here in Cornwall, Ontario–they would rather see 10 good drawings than 100 crappy tattoos
make a really solid art portfolio n you can probably get in :)

welcome fellow canadian :D
