I am in the same page as you Katrina, I read the book and watched the dvd. I am by no means the best artist in the world but I got skills that are natural to me and with a little practice I know I can be legit. I have tinkered and messed with my machines, understanding how it all works and also the history. I am at the point where I have tattooed myself but I almost wonder if having a profesional walk me through step by step would be the best learning process. But I currently don’t have anyone willing to appreentice me, but will search and try in the near future. For now I decided to tattoo my leg after practicing lines and small drawings on a practice skin. Of course after reading and practicing on the skin you realize that it is not the same as the real deal. All professional tattooist will have to admit at one point they were where we are and sometimes hands on is the best learning curve.. I would reccomend pursuing an apprenticeship but if you don’t mind the harsh criticism like me then you will just find a design and tattoo it on yourself. Of course knowledge is key so get to know your machines and of course once you start getting into the field finding your ink pigment is going to be a deal breaker. Pretty much get what you pay for, I still got a box full of inks that came with my kit that I will prob. never use. I ordered me some Kuro Sumi Outlining and Greywash Inks, stuff is organic and badass! Not sure if this helped but just wanted to welcome you to the forum! Good luck!

The mushrooms and death are the outline of my leg tattoo I am going to have the local tattoo artist put on me, hence the reason it’s not colored cause I am still trying to figure that stuff out. The Dreamy Abstract Space one is just a doodle I had fun with! Yeah I agree its not profesional but I am def. working towards it! I probabaly should have waited and posted some newer material but I got excited cause I finished this book and it had a forum lol. But yeh If you got any work posted on here or any refrences for me, please let me know! I will keep honing my skills otherwise.

Thanks I like the Honesty on this site, almost gives a plus to purchasing the book! To each their own opinion though, I agree that practice makes better which is def. what I am doing. Appreciate your brutal opinions though guys, I will make sure not to post my amateur work on here… well unless I want some kicks and giggles at the responses I get.. Put some in your peace pipe and smoke it to the ones who can’t give a honest opinion without being a diseased vagina. Haha :) 8-)
