"It's Not All Anchors and Roses"

A Mini-Documentary about Tattooing in Orange County. Comments on the Industry artists perspectives, how apprenticeships work, and a few blurbs from people who are tattooed.

My first tattoo was an anchor and my second ended up being an rose behind said anchor. I was just scrolling through videos and saw the title and I bursted out laughing and looked at my arm. good video though

[@Djaybird]

what a wonderful video, that quote at the end was beautiful x

[@MORGANzomgKATIE]

This is the best video I've seen on here. I just got an apprenticeship offer and I couldn't be more excited. I love tattoos.

Eli Quinters once said: The most original ones (tattoos), are the ones, that suck the most"
In my opinion, you don't have to reinvent the wheel everytime. It's totally fine to pick up from the flash wall.
When a customer wants a panther, give him the classic crawling panther, even though thousands of people have that design. There is such an intense power in the classics, which could not be redone properly imo.

i never expected to hear 20th century boy by T. Rex anywhere except my personal playlist

‎'The tattoo is the mark of the soul.
it can act as a window
Through which we can see inside,
Or it can be a shield to protect us from those
who cannot see past the surface" -This Vid

I really enjoyed you. I dunno if you made this but if you did well done you really got great content out of your subjects.

[@stephenites11]

It's not all about Anchors and Roses, but my first tat was a Rose, and it came out AMAZING!!!

[@ravenvanhonacker7560]

I'm 16 now ive got my first tattoo when u was 14 and i really live tattoo's im about to get my 4th and i also want to tattoo because i love it so much i draw alot so can i ask how did you start tattooing sorry if i spell some words wrong but i'm from belgium sorry ;-)

[@eddyram1040]

Ambre Van Honacker Heya, no need to apologize for the English, but I think you misunderstood my post, I got the Tattoo done on me. I would never want to tattoo anyone, because I wouldn't want to mess them up. I can draw on paper, but using a vibrating machine with needless and working on an uneven canvas is not my thing. I will however pay an artist with more talent than me, and have them do some more awesome tattoos on my skin. It seems you are an aspiring tattoo artist, well Great luck with that and I hope you become a very good one.

[@ravenvanhonacker7560]

thanks sorry i misunderstood your post and for being nice to me ;) :D

[@eddyram1040]

Ambre Van Honacker No problem, by the way don't know if you would care, but my rose is all healed up now after these 2 weeks, it looks, oh so amazing!!!

[@ravenvanhonacker7560]
