    I can't believe how well your arm came out from having so many different artists touch you. It's hard to have a sleeve look almost like one person did it from how they all blend into eachother. Every artist has their own style so to see yours turn out like this is amazing

    Love this video! Really like that you included prices and how long each piece took. I feel like price is such a taboo topic to discuss however I like knowing what to somewhat expect price wise so I have an idea of how much I need to save up. I know all artists charge different amounts but when you don’t have any tattoos or even just one, it’s very helpful.

      Martin John I agree with you that it was abit longer than it should have been for the skull but that whole piece came out amazing. At the end of the day it's on you for life and in a very visible placement so I'd rather have something take longer and be done perfectly

      Nick Alex I actually did a speech on this my freshman year of college. The climate of tattoos has changed so much that MOST jobs won’t care about it unless it’s hands or neck (and even then many corporate offices have dope tattoo culture) so do what you want and polish your skills to even if you were completely tatted, your skills alone would be valuable to a company! Or open your own business. Haha😂

    You have all the natural skills, look, and all around personality to get big. Honestly, all you need is consistency and knowing your main audience.
    On a side note, did you confirm with some of these artists if they are okay we're having the prices of their peices made publicly?

      @DrewGunby  5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I appreciate the kind support my man, seriously means a lot! Having fun with the videos, which is most important 🤞🏼
      & no I did not but prices are pretty taboo in the tattoo world and I figured since I’m the one dropping high dollars for these pieces then providing what I paid will allow for my audience to have transparency and valuable information!
      I view this as collecting fine art from some of my favorite artists, and I’m here to share those experiences top to bottom!

      I see what you mean. If you paid for something, no one should be able to tell you that you can't talk about it.
      What's crazy is that a brand new artist can charge the same as a veteran.

      Realism takes a lot of time, multiple sessions on just one piece to add details & see how things healed.
