Just wanted to thank tou guys. With the help of these conversations you guys have,I managed to
Build up the confidence and enter a kind of tournament for a spot as an apprentice at one of the oldest and well known shops in my country with plenty of amazing artists. This is my first month and since I have duties in my other job, currently juggling 2 full time jobs basically. 15 12H days as a chef and the rest at the studio. Its tough but I love it and dont plan on quitting❤ this is like a lil testament for myself 😅
If there is WILL there is WAY! thanks so much for sharing that, and good luck on your tattoo journey.
Love this one. I can also add that I am 51 years old and have been tattooing 31 years, and NO, I do not have the same hustle I had 20 years ago. I still work mostly in large scale pieces but not 2/ day like I used to. Definitely have to listen to my body more these days.
I still love steel tubes the most. Although I use everything nowadays depending on what I’m doing.
Steel tubes were a dream to work with!
Yesterday i finish at 11pm. Because the guy wanted one of my design. I have a family life but sometimes you have to do the job. The costumers is here, he is cool and polite and more to this it will allow me to show a good tattoo in my style. If i had tell him to come back, he will have probably go to antother place. Making a career is lot of sacrifice but it worth it
Another great episode-thanks for putting in the work to make these. I need a jolly rancher now.
I just started my journey.... I've been to war, came back and got into tech... Before that, I've won art shows and have sold paintings and drawings....... I WILL SAY THIS.... Tattooing has been my calling since 12 years old.... However, I got caught up in the social construct.... Now at 31 years old ..... I've been going all in. . . . DO NOT allow social constructs to avert you from your dreams!
Always look forward to ur new episodes. ❤ Love u guys. Hope u have a good week 💯💪
You too!! and thanks so much for supporting the show!
Can’t wait for the Dan Kubin swift tips to drop. Open top brass tube and disposable tips. Easy, clean and heavy enough to counter balance a coil
Would love to give them a try, definitely a great system for those that prefer a traditional needle set up.
Jon is my spirit animal
haha I appreciate that, thanks for listening to the show -Jon
Generation "right now"!!! With the internet, where you can know whatever you want whenever you want, with amazon prime you get whatever item you want less than 24h later.... people just don't know the value of waiting .... lets see where it leads us.... take care buddies!
I had to wait 8 weeks for my Kaplan kit. I feel it made me appreciate it more by waiting and building up my dreams of holding my own tattoo machine in my hands.
I unfortunately do not have the perfect metabolism to just eat whatever I want lol weird flex but that's cool bro lol you guys are great though I love your talks 🫶
Most tattooers I know eat like shit... It would be interesting to see how diet and lifestyle effect how long people tattoo for. Thanks for all you guys do!
