[Unolove]

That shyt expensive for a good one

 

[Uitomy]

A tattoo artist is one of those fields where the top notch are truly that for a good reason. A well seasoned and artistically masterful artist can easily make that much, especially if theyve got a decent online following. That said, it probably took years and countless overtime hours for them to get to that point. some of these mf's will tatt you for like 12+ hours straight sometimes

A good artist has a large portfolio, a long wait list, and a minimum number of hours for a time slot.........ie.......must be a minimum of two hours reserved or more.......

Especially if they have celebrity clientele

Especially if they have celebrity clientele

If in doubt go near a military base......them cats may as well be issued in the seabag.......... their work on display all over base on all ranks........ right of passage, but never take choose from the flash pieces..........

I think about pivoting into trade work as a way for me to apply my artistic skills in a functional way

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

I don’t see how a tattoo artist is a trade job, anybody can plunge a toilet… not everyone can draw let alone draw on skin

But I guess they do have ones that just trace some shyt out of the art book lol

 

[Bboystyle]

I mean thats great and all but not everyone can just pick up a needle and ink nikkas up like its a trade job. U have to be an artist to begin with
