Tucson, AZ

Female, 32

I'm a tattoo artist who underwent a standard apprenticeship under a certified tattoo artist. I am an artist first, tattooer second, which means I put creativity and art into my tattoos, not just the 'you pick it, we stick it' type of tattooer. Apprenticeships for tattooing vary by state, according to the laws. I'm also a trained body piercer, as well. Any questions about the job or apprenticing, I'd be happy to help!

PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT price tattoos. Seek a shop for that.

is it normal for my tattooer to ink his signature beside the tattoo he just finished?

Asked by james D about 11 years ago

It's not, actually. I've seen tattoo artists do it, but it's not an industry standard practice, no. They have to ask the client before they do it, too.

I was thinking about getting some art by Alex Pardee tatted on me but it got me thinking.. is that illegal? Is it considered copyright infringement? I guess my question is can you get an artists drawings tatted on you without permission?

Asked by David over 11 years ago

To be completely honest, I don't know the answer to this question. If you aren't using the image for capital gain, I don't think it's a problem, but I honestly have no idea. People are always getting Dali's art as tattoos, but just because everyone does it doesn't make it right. If the artist is still alive, maybe shoot him or her an email, just to cover yourself? Sorry I couldn't help wiht this one more.

I got a tatt on June 1 it's healed and looks good but it has a few white bumps that look like pimples on it..Should i be concerned they are itchy but i don't know if its the bumps itching or the tatt still healing I hv several tatts and this happened

Asked by Lucious over 11 years ago

Without seeing a picture, it's hard to say. Sometimes white pimpley bumps can be irritation from having been shaved or the oitment a tattoo artist uses while they tattoo. Sometimes, bumps can be a sign of an allergic reaction to a pigment (usually happens with red ink). Sometimes, white pimpley bumps can be a sign of MRSA, which is an advanced staph infection. MRSA bumps usually happen during the healing process, though, and are big.

I'm wanting to get a tattoo of a bird for a dear friend that passed away but I don't know any sayings that he liked he didn't have any bible verses that we knew off an thebonly music he liked was country so I cant do a song lyric an I have no idea

Asked by jaime over 11 years ago

Why not just get the bird? Sometimes, keeping a tattoo simple is the best way to go. Many people add words to tattoos, and it ruins the meaning of the artwork. If your friend had a specific quote that they liked, then get that. If they didn't, then just get the artwork. You'll know what it means.

What is your favorite type of tattoo to ink? What about other tattoo artists you know?

Asked by Jonathan over 11 years ago

I like outlineless artsy tattooes. I do a lot of flowers, birds, soft things. Many of my tattooes come out looking like a painting, and I love that. I know artists who like neo-traditional, traditional, Japanese, biomechanical- just about anything, except tribal. I haven't found one single artist that actually likes doing tribal.

Do you accept pictures for advice? I had a tattoo with numbers in it and the numbers got switched. I was hoping to find someone that could look at the area I need fixed and see if they "see" a way it could be done.
Thank you!

I want to get a disney tattoo on my ankle or shoulder but I'm not sure what I want , I want something they will look bad as I get older ?

Asked by Disneygirl24 about 11 years ago

The best advice I have for you is to just get on the internet and find pictures you like. If you like it, who cares what other people think?
