@giornobrando4810 that's a pretty garbage take lol forcing someone to drink a rinse cup, unless it was from a tattoo he did on himself, is pretty fucked up.
My husband has vitiligo & from my understanding it basically destroys the pigment in the skin & his actually moves around and grows/shrinks. So tattooing it seems super pointless. Love your videos and the way you call everything stupid is a mood lmao
Ooooh, when you said "finger waves", I thought you were talking about his hair. I was very confused for about 3 seconds. Now I know that that term has two meanings!
I have a dog tattoo portrait on my hand. I have sleeves though and that portrait is my favorite tattoo. I got it while my dog was still alive. He’s passed now and it gets a lot of compliments. It can be done right.
The $5k+ fine line seems like a scummy artist taking advantage of an older, less informed lady. Not to mention it seems like they don’t know how to make a good tattoo
The cathedral tattoo looks like they used an AI image for the reference which :/ why do that when there are tons of gorgeous references of actual cathedral archetecture to use?
Day 1 watcher here. I have to say I'm really digging the added "showcase" at the end of the videos you've incorporated. Really love shining light on good ones in this market of disease spreading scratchers! Keep up the great work 👍
A comment to the topic of finishing other artists work: it would be a good idea to evaluate what you as an artist might be doing (bedside manner, consultation, etc.) that would drive someone to get it completed elsewhere. Sometimes that’s the plan all along, nothing you can do. But I’d venture to say a majority of the time it’s an overall bad experience that drove them away. If you’re getting pressed about it, it’s probably because you, the artist, drove them to it. Kirk, you did a great job discussing that topic.
This is literally the only reason that I don't have a memorial tattoo for my first dog!!! Black lab LMFAO - Just getting "Bear" in a heart. OH MY GOD OUR DOGS LOOK LIKE TWINS
Well, downside, can't get a black lab tat. Upside, you got to share some of your life with a wonderful black lab! I'm bummed I never got to meet Bear, Knew another black lab that will forever hold his place within my heart. I know someone that adopted a PV, Mexico street dog that looks a lot like Kirk's dog so there's some genetics goin on.
Apprenticeships can be great. Get one if you can. But also, there’s so many horror stories about apprenticeships, it’s one of the reasons I have to side eye ppl who shit on those who don’t want to be an apprentice
Kirk, you need merch that emphasizes your use of the word "SUPER". SOOP-er cool, SOOP-er gnarly, etc. I love how you say it, it's very specific to you.
2:53 so, I was the last tattoo to walk out of this one tattoo shop before it closed when i was 19 (didnt know that until the tattoo was done and I was paying the guy) .. have no idea where this artist went but i wouldnt go back to him regardless. The tattoo looked 10 years old a month after it was done.. I went into 2 other shops in the town i lived in and both of them denied me because they didnt do the tattoo. They said i needed to find the guy that did it and have him touch it up. Like..... idk where he is and I was going to pay them to fix it..?
Aaa! First of all, I don't like Trump, BUT if you're going to get a tattoo of someone who is supposedly very patriotic, make sure the flag has the correct number of stars on it!
Well, at least they got CLOSE to getting the correct flag... Do you know how many Facebook posts I've seen where TrumpPets use the Puerto Rican flag emoji? 😅 If nothing else, their stupidity is at least entertaining, lol.
lol I'm getting my dog's portrait tattooed soon and my biggest fear was that she would be a bad dog image to tattoo 😅 I'm so lucky my tattoo artist made it work, I'm excited!
I have Vitiligo on my arms and legs.. i would never cover it.. i love it so much :D (No i am not trying to say "I'm so quirky! I have a skin disease and look at me!) I just wanted to say that i love my vitiligo!
That's crazy. 5k? 2500 for a day price? My artist was interviewed by ink masters. She does 150 tattoo conventions a year. Tattoos 10 hours a day 5 days a week. And has been tattooing for 25 years. She's also a damn celebrity in my area. Her day price is 1000 for 12 hours of solid tattooing
Got a re-work of my first tattoo by someone else. First tatter was a coked up prick and it was a terrible experince. Tatter who did the re-work use to work with first tatter and was more than happy to fix it, knowing that many clients had been fucked over by him. Second tatter has now done at least 15 pieces on me.
As a pale person with freckles all over my shoulders "tortilla skin" is fucking hilarious! 😂 I'm over here looking at my arms cracking the fck up. They look like tortillas!!!!!
From the artist point of view what is the difference between doing a tattoo that someone wears with pride. And a customer who's only goal is to win shows. I wear my tattoo for comfort not for judging
Though I support your right to be opinionated ( and on most things you are correct) but you go against the grain saying that a person can put what they want on there body and that it's there choice an there style, even with good application. An u bash the idea ( which is not on your body so its not supposed to fut your taste). But don't let the previous statement fool you. You insight on application and integrity of tattoo. Is spot on. Still love the videos 😊
You can get dogs tattooed on you, no problem, just don’t go for realism. I got my dog tattooed, we just did it in American Trad, copying the posing from one of Jerry’s running bulldogs.
Dude, I clicked on your video just cause of the Trump picture, and your answer was spot on! Mad respect for you and your channel. I just subscribed! Not only that, I love tattoos, and I am almost done with my second sleeve, on to the neck soon.
They made you drink rinse cups 😮 red ink has Mercury in it .thats shocked me and i worked in a garage for 3 year so know all about "Hazing " but imo thats OTT of them
Five grand plus travel expenses and a free cover up tattoo and just send me a name and I'll make sure no one else ever gets tattooed by this guy again 😉
My 67 year old mom has cut out her best friends she's had since high school for being "Trumpers", it's definitely a cult. I am hosting 2 thanksgiving dinners just to cater to her to her feelings. Wild.
Traditional, black & gray, Japanese, cartoon And any other native or Tribal style tattoo. Not tribal from the 90s. It's all that is acceptable. Everything else suck ha No, but for real. These styles have been around forever. Everything else is just trendy and we'll go away. You're not being Original When a million other people saw it on TH-cam And is getting the same thing. $5000 that shit is ridiculous unless you're getting a whole arm done and it's still too much. I paid like 1500ish For my whole arm I know other factors go into this. Like how fast your tattoo artist is.but 5000. I think everyone should have a few shitty tattoos in their collection. I like seeing people r people and make mistakes... I Grew up Punk rock and hardcore so i've seen I've seen a lot of crap tattoo I love Seeing that, I'm not talkin Bad pieces pieces, but Is little two inch cartoon Characters Or a shitty rose. I Have a crappy missile or a-bomb and Ribbon wrapped around it.. I did with a needle No machine when I was 14.
I'd argue the people who got those tattooed on them are also probably unhinged. I mean we just watched a video of an actor telling people not to get faces of those they don't know.
@lukeskywalker987 I'm 50/50 on the character thing. There are 2 reasons. 1. Do you have it for the actors themselves or the character and aspects that they represent. 2. If you get an anime/cartoon character and later find out the creator or the voice actor for you character is a Diddy-ler, do you react the same way if it were a celebrity? I do agree with your first sentence though.
19:16 I can see AI being a helpful tool to a tattoo artist to help a client get a better image, get a line up and they can choose the closest looking picture 🤔🤷♀️
@ no I want him to talk about the tattoo and move on, or better yet leave out an inherently political tattoo and try to play the “it’s not political” card.
Every video of yours makes me love you even more. If anything ever happens with your stunningly gorgeous other half of the best looking couple I’ve seen on the entire interwebs, I’m putting my name at the top of the replacement list (my husband will just have to get over it). Seriously though, you are my favorite person on TH-cam right now because of the lack of fucks given and your ability to look adorable when talking shit. Also, your gf is smoking hot and you two together look like what I imagine happiness is supposed to look like.
@ It’s his channel you’re right. He brought up the topic himself though with that tattoo. I don’t want him to say any insightful political commentary, I just think it’s lame for him to want to stay safe with both sides. If he said “I like the guy or I dislike the guy” I would respect it way more.

5k for that crap?!? And willing to pay another 2.5k after the initial disaster?!? It blows my mind how naive and outright stupid some people can be.
exactly how do you not spend a bunch of time doing research learning what prices are justified and how to find a good artist if youre gonna spend 5k?
Probably pesos. I heard mexican music going on. So more like $ 2.50

Not even stretching the skin killed me 😭 17:40
Vitilgo doesn't affect tattoos, only melanin fyi. I've got regular black traddy stuff over all my spots for years now.
I have plenty of color American traditional over my vitiligo and it heals and holds great.
