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.

I am having five words tattooed along my forearm. fineline, very simple font, like handwriting. I have been booked in for two hours for this. In what world does it take two hours to tattoo five very simple words? Thanks.

That's from start to finish, including stenciling, actual tattooing time and clean up. Sounds like your tattoo artist just wants to make sure they don't have to rush before their next appointment.

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!

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

how hard would it be to cover up the name brandi

Asked by donald burnham almost 13 years ago

No idea. It depends on if you have a small "Brandi" on your arm or the word "Brandi" across your entire back. Size, body placement, darkness of tattoo, and age of tattoo are all a factor in covering a tattoo.

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!

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 almost 13 years ago

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

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

Asked by Jonathan almost 13 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.

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 about 12 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...
