himmelsturmerIX fucken love it

Why did you do that💀💀

I was 18-19 and the artist said no because he it would be hard to get a regular I thank him til this day until I figured out I wanted to do art lol he was surprised

@@irenelopez3829 p

💯

Facts 💯💯💯

Lol right i do tattoos not like as a job i only recently started lol im very far from intimidating

to hear an anonymous and unfiltered interview with a successful tattooist, see episode fifteen of What The Hell Is My Job!? (its a podcast) We did the interview while she was working on a tattoo!

product junkie 101 honestly ain’t that all of us for a min if it’s a passion AND money what a plus

oh hey 69 likes

Asians are talented teacher with masters degree plus a tattoo artist

Tattoo artist make a lot of money. The good ones at least. Working Monday-Friday and charging 2k+ per session ? That’s 40k a month before bills and all that good stuff

@@garrygarcia5008 2k+ per session?

Can you expound?

@@KarlVinceCasitas you make money

@@BaconLard999 tnx

This made my heart smile.. congratulations sir and have a good life

Life goals

con fuckin grats man

Awesome story!!!

Hell yeah!

That’s the whole reason why they hate them. Envy is a powerful thing.

Whole reason they hate them is these stratchers never practice enough to become a professional.

A True starement!💯💯...even the most famous artist I've read interviews from said they started off as scratchers or self taught?!?..like wth!? LoL..its def a double standard

@@knowgo411 they prolly don’t like it cuz they know the risk of going to a “scratcher”. Also they prolly get their prices and work compared to a scratcher and get annoyed because of how often it happens and them knowing the difference in levels

Not all the masters started out scratching most pros hate scratchers because of sanitation most scratchers aren't very sterile

My homies can thank me and my thighs for all the dumb shit they tatted on me and friends also, they are very successful artists now!

I was thinking the same thing. Practice on pig skin and work your way up to human flesh.

Years ago I let my friend do his first tat on my foot and it came out like shit.. 5 years later of learning how to tattoo he's killing the game and I can get awesome, discounted tats for life... There's perks in letting your friends ink you.

I had an artist tell me once that you should start on grapefruit because the skin takes ink similar to human skin. And then work up to pig skin, and then humans. His place wouldn't let him out of an apprenticeship until he could do a high-quality tattoo on himself.

@@MLag23 exactly! Very well said my friend😉

Mood lmaoo

right she is gorgeous like damn and her tatoos are awesome

Meagan is not too bad either; she’s looking damn good here!

Yousef Haj zein no we’re just gay

I'm sure all of the kids moms hated to send their dad's to go get their kids.

scratcher are more likely get this far…

That's what I did an now I'm really good at it so it's not that bad!

I guarantee not one ratio artist who uses that term didn’t do exactly what your saying; then they have the balls to talk about another person who’s starting out; if anything they should try to help that person!

@Zanda Williams Yes an No if you think about it once your stencils on the skin it's just tracing the outline, but you have to draw that stencil out so it's a yes you should at least half ass know how to draw so you could draw the stencil with no problem.

@Zanda Williams No just look up easy things to draw an start copying that picture draw it a few times an go on to the next drawing an keep practicing start with easy things an try harder things as you get more an more into it

and I love that she tattoo'd his apprentice, then became his apprentice LOL

Megan is such an individual of pure Grace it seems (:

Right

@@Fenthule Pretty much like a Sith Lord lol

The China power? 😂😂

Lewis Galvin-Elston Bruh what's your point?

- Lin I'm asking what your point is, as it doesn't make any sense😂

Lewis Galvin-Elston It's good to see Chinese tattoo artists thrive at international stage. I think my point is valid.

Lewis Galvin-Elston CAUSE CHINA NUMBER ☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻

joey chacke no you don’t look at your channel

I guess I'm not the only one here for her

I am 100th like heheh

Danny G DOPEFX You're still young dude, do it if you love it

Do it while you’re young. You’ll regret not picking it up again while you could’ve. I believe in you!!!

Hell yeah man, you're still young you got all the time in the world, scratch that itch and pick up tattooing !

You miss 100% of shots you dont take. Even though you took this path before, maybe it was just the wrong time for you. I say pick up that hobby again and it might even become your career! Best wishes!

I’m not even going to say you should pick up again. You HAVE to, please for your own sake. You’ll be much happier I promise you that. Now get out there and try to put your foot back down in the industry, good luck!

Charlie V or ever time they say art.

Still sober fail

shit cuhz im drunk af now

I now have depression

My kids and wife are hiding from me

You don't need anything but the drive.

Believe It!

how is it going?

Drug Peclo keep at it man, I’m 44 and just starting my apprenticeship, I’ve wanted to do this for years but never could, when the opportunity presented itself I latched on and I’m not letting go, I’m giving up a 20 year career to start over as an apprentice because it’s what I want.

Madd Hatter very inspirational brotha!! It takes a whole lot of courage and balls to change your whole life around but if you really love it it will be worth it.

@@SykesFW I love this. Giving me chills bc Ive been eager to dive into the tattoo culture but I'm v hesitant bc I'm afraid I won't be successful. I'm stuck between taking the civil service exam to become a firefighter within a few months or stay working in a warehouse while I work an apprenticeship. I just can't see myself relying on an 11.50/hour job until my mid 20s

Why wouldn't they? I hope you've made some progress! Don't be afraid to take some chances

GqviN

Trueeeeee💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I know awwe Paul Booth "kinda expected too" yeah some young people want it quick at least someone was able to help him in tattooing most people think ya joking.

Deanna

Ryan ashley won ink master as well

Megan Jean was on Ink Master also

Tatu baby is in here she was like on 3 seasons lol

Wish Kelly Doty Or Gia Rose Was On This 1

Because they themselves are responsible for some of the worst ink they've ever seen

I'm 33, but same! I love people that have so many tats and artist abilities. I'm not talented in this way, but it's so cool!

I have no tattoos myself just binge watching nowadays some tat places have no certified people many go to tat parties my cousin caught an infection from a tat party these artists know their stuff!

Totally

do it!!

fukn loser

If it's something you work on now, just practice and try every type of art you can find, you'll be amazing by the time you're able to apprentice!!! Good luck to you!

I believe in you!! I'm a sophomore in highschool and have no idea what do in my future. My parents want me to get into law, but I would like to do something with art. So I too think I'll be a tattoo artist perhaps. Keep on pursuing what you want to be!

You can do it. I'm 14 and started doing stick and pokes tattoo on friends . You can DOOOO IT. yay

im 22 and on college to become a vet, curently i have like 3 yrs of studies left and i realized that im really not that interested in it, and then i stumbled upon this channel and found a lot of artists in my country, but i still dont think i would do that good of a job, i find my art to be very basic, even tho people say otherwise. Also idk if i should finish school and nurture my artistic side until i have a diploma, or just call it quits and go for it. so i understand and admire your will and dedication!!!

@@jelenaR5 I would say finish off the 3 years so that you always have that as a form of income forever. But also do you what you really love at the same time. It’s always up to the person but if I were you I would still practice. You never know maybe at the end of 3 years of moderate practice you could be so much closer than you you were 3 years before

And you lived a perfect life with your mommy and daddy in a big house in the suburbs? Whats your fucking point

@@fuckstarvineskcrew2262 his ink is fucking retarded and looks like shit...thats the point

ESTEBAN CASAS Most of them couldn't get apprenticeships so they had to dive in head first....at least that's Anthony's case...look at him now.😀

Duh, this is real life. And "scratching" is just a really negative slang fyi

Katlynne Mitchell Duh indeed

Well to be fair scratching isnt very good. You wouldnt go to someone who wasnt a nurse to get your shots, tattooing is pretty much the exact same thing. Though I didnt realise how many started off that way either, I'm glad they actually decided to properly learn though, good on them

@@katlynnemitchell9931 well it should be lol. Its a profession that takes time to learn. Why would you trust someone who has only picked up the most affordable tattoo kit from Amazon & decided they were good enough to PERMANEANTLY brand someone's body?

If I can give you a little advice for an apprenticeship get to know ALOT of people. Ask people where they got their tattoos from, go to shops and get to know the people who work there, hang out with them at the shop, blast your social media with your artwork, get that clout. Because ultimately you never know who you might impress or who you meet. I got my apprenticeship by showing almost every person I met as a cashier at a hardware store who had tattoos. One person happened to BE a tattoo artist and hooked me up with a close friend of his and he got me in the shop. I've noticed with ALOT of apprentices (the ones I know at least) you usually need to have a foot in the door to really get into a shop. But there's so many ways you can get that head start, but you should always have your art ready to show people and bring your portfolio with you (physical or digital). Show your potential, show you want it. And don't expect to tattoo right away either. Expect to learn the front desk and cleaning and bottom line stuff first. There will be times you won't leave until 2-5am. You'll have to have a job job while apprenticing so you can afford the stuff you'll need. Most shops supply basic stuff, but tattoo machines GOOD ones are like $200-800. Don't get those cheap kits for $20. And apprenticeships are LONG. At least here in NY the 3 tiers of actual apprenticing is (minimum): 150 small designs, 500 hours. 150 medium intricate designs, 750 hours. 150 advanced designs 1000 hours. 75 hours observation, 75 hours on sanitation/health/work station setup. And some days at the shop you'll JUST be drawing, not even the stuff required. It's a super cut throat industry. You'll have people judging you, telling you how to do things, breaking you like a horse, but in the end it'll be SO worth it. Good luck with everything and follow my instagram :) - Shannytatts_x0

go for it.

no no I have no art background too! But I’m 26 now and have picked up art classes to learn how to tattoo. I’m lucky my mentor said we’ll learn art first before we jump to tattoo classes.

Same
