Tattoo Artist

Tattoo Artist

Tatted Mom

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.

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!

You are more than welcome to send me a picture to everchangingmoon81@gmail.com and I can take a look.

I'm new to tattooing, I was wondering how do you use stencil paper to transfer to skin?

Also, I was also wondering how deep to go while tattooing?

Asked by William almost 11 years ago

Ask the person that I'm assuming you are apprenticing under, or other people in the shop where I'm assuming you are apprenticing. If you are trying to teach yourself, without a formal apprenticeship, then stop.

Hi! I saw a tattoo online and I really love it. But it was on pinterest and I can't discover its provenance. I wanted to buy the art from the designer, but I can't find him/her. What do I do? Thanks!

Asked by Tam over 11 years ago

I'd take the tattoo to a tattoo artist and have them draw their own original version based on what you saw on pinterest.

I already have a black pentagram about 5 inches down my shoulder on my arm that needs a touch up but My question is do you think a tarot illustration might look tacky? I want to put the High Priestess above it.

Asked by Priestess over 11 years ago

Completely up to you.

Thank you for answering my last question. My next question is. Will a person still be able to get a tattoo on there forearm if they have liver spots but it's just a few not a lot?

Asked by Rivera about 11 years ago

I don't think it's advisable to tattoo over any skin abnormalities- liver spots, scratches, bruises, even moles.

Hey, last night I did a small cross tattoo on my ankle. The needle was clean and I used a tattoo machine that I bought online. But I noticed the back of my leg is kinda sore and my foot is a little numb. I was just wondering if thos is normal?

Asked by Mike Robertson about 11 years ago

No, it's not normal, and it occurred because you bought a machine online and tattooed yourself without having gone through an actual apprenticeship or knowing what you are doing.

Can I sue the tattoo artist for improper apprenticeship training.. I have not been trained or work in the shop sine our contract was signed..my 6moths are up and he now wants me to pay him the 5,000$ for my apprenticeship and tattoo license

Asked by inkgame over 10 years ago

How about, instead of paying the $5000 and then trying to sue him, you just find another shop to apprentice in? Why would you pay someone $5000 if they aren't training you, just so you can sue them later? That makes absolutely no sense, because then you are out $5000 AND have to pay lawyers, when you just handed the guy you are suing $5000 to pay for his lawyers...
