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.
Small changes in size and weight generally won't affect a tattoo. But if you are going from being thin and kind of scrawny to a professional body builder size, the tattoo will stretch and look faded.

I think that's perfectly fine.

Ask away. Many artists will touch another artist's work, especially if the original artist is no longer available.
Share Answer: 
Fake skin can be used for beginners.

Do people ever ask you to keep your meter off in exchange for a cheaper fare?
Tattoos on the bottoms of the feet and palms of hands don't last long- that's why most artists won't do them. The skin is tough, and because the feet and hands exfoliate skin at a rapid pace, the tattoo does fade more quickly and needs several touch ups in short periods of time.
Share Answer: 
I'd say acrylics. They have about the right consistency as tattoo ink. Once tattoo ink goes into the skin, however, it coats more like a watercolor. Very tricky medium, tattoo ink and skin.

I've never registered a customer's tattoo before. Maybe it's a law in some states? I have no idea.
