I’ve noticed with the copying thing that a lot of artists see whoever copied them getting some sort of recognition and they feel “thats mine. I want that.” Everyone so caught up in social media likes and recognition. Old tattooers used to send each other stencils and now everybody is upset because someone did “something similar and I invented that” big tattitudes these days. Anyway love this podcast and love all you dudes ✌🏼 cant wait for more
I think the bigger artists are upset because they followed rules for so long and it isn't fair that others didnt follow those rules like they had to. Like a form of jealously
i agree 100%. like you shouldn’t be able to tattoo without “paying their dues” as in being tortured by an apprenticeship. you don’t need one to be a great tattoo artist
Artist tent to have this Big ego that doesnt really matter at all, because the only thing that matters is how happy is the client and the service and the lvl of profesionalism You provide, non of that have to do with how much of a snob You are.....
So glad I found this podcast, this shit is so simple yet so dope. Only been watching for little time and already have bell notifications on!! Keep dropping please.
Best one so far! Really enjoying this podcast and have watched every one so far. Just got my apprenticeship last November and its been great so far. Love these podcasts! Cheers, from Ontario, Canada.
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Ben years ago in Jersey when I was apprenticing for piercing. Seeing how much he has grown after leaving that shop makes me so stoked. So great to see him thriving.
I meet a dude waiting in line for a concert like 15 yeara ago. He didn't have legs and his sign said" give me money or I'll kick you in the face". Definitely gave him money and probably one of my fav signs. I have a pic to prove it lol
If there isnt one already, id love to see a discussion surrounding recovery and what that looked like for you and or your peers and how tattooing came into play. I think its more than relevant in the industry, and its really inspiring for people like me in early recovery. Love the content, stay up gents.
I think it’s good for artist to copy something’s. Not exact but copy things to help grow. In music everyone copy’s and turns it into something new. It’s how we grow
On the topic of copying someone’s work, I had this done to me and the artist didn’t tell me it was a copy, when I came across the artwork online I found the artist, I sent him a mail asking “hey is this your work? I really like it” And he said “yeah it’s mine, please don’t copy it, be inspired by it” and I thought that was a really nice way to go about it. still too late as I now have a copy of his art work on my leg but that’s down to the artist who copied it and never said anything to me…I still got a good tattoo though..it’s just not as original as I had hoped for..
Totally agree with the blackout statement. I think it should be for a blast over / cover up. I think you can get something super cool first and then do the blast over.
Hearing Ben’s pricing makes me feel better about my pricing and not feeling bad about what my prices are 💯 I charge 150 an hr and I’ll feel bad charging correctly when we tattooed for 8 hours because I know times are tough
theres nothing to feel bad for when you put years of time of your life into becoming an expert in something and then selling that expertise to people who want it
Loved your vlog so good I hate it when I go to the supermarket and I get like the same thing and then go to get it and they don’t make it anymore like I loved orange Gatorade and all of a sudden gone and that happens with heaps of things I am looking forward to see who you talk to next 😊
I have a question 🙋 what about flash books? Is that strictly reference or since you paid for the "custom" flash and its not blown up and you never saw it tattooed before then it's OK to tattoo?
him and/or john barrett. those dudes always have interesting takes on things and i have respect that they shoot straight. the comment section would probably explode if one of them came on this podcast, haha
Copying is the base to understand many things. But only when you draw!!! When you tattoo you try to mix all these influences you got along the years and create something personnal
Maaaaan..listened to this on my way home from work (bout an hour n a half dri e 2 with rain) .gonna be honest ive been tattooing since 03 and i k8nd of feel validated in alot of wats.thanks guys.
Don't go out and pretend they're homeless...someone's gonna end up getting cancelled for it! I'm not a cancel person but this is what they cancel people for.
It’s Hard trying to figure out what to comment when you don’t care to and you know no one really gives a fuck anyways but that’s what TH-cam wants to see so this comment is just to help you guys get those numbers up and get paid I guess🤘🏻💀🤘🏻
Just a nobody collector here but imho copying without credit is bullshit. Like an artist that claims something as original and they totally just stole the artwork. I think the ultimate example that I'm sure most peole have seen is the Riddler chest piece that the artist tattooed the nipple from the original onto the new canvas' arm i think it was.

Appreciate that and good luck with your apprenticeship!

This episode was really good. My favorite by far
Same! Ben is a sick artist so its really nice being able to get his perspective as an artist and a person. Real solid podcast.
Appreciate that, thank you!

a lot of people won’t go to an artist if it’s by the hour

i feel like a lot of people still don’t realize that. since 2020 time especially moves weird.
Don't go out and pretend they're homeless...someone's gonna end up getting cancelled for it! I'm not a cancel person but this is what they cancel people for.
Getting canceled isn’t really real if no one gives a fuck about what irrelevant people say
Tent city lol
