I'm a professional artist working in the game industry and I've been learning to tattoo for a few months now and I 100% agree with what you guys are talking about. It's like except my designs skills that are purely theory, none of what I do digitally transfer super well into tattooing as a medium and it's like I'm starting over. It's super humbling, but really fun to be in this position again

This conversation was super interesting, I've been tattoing for 6 months now and I love hearing people who love tattoing and share their experiences. I respect a lot what you do, especially setting aside time after work to do a podcast that we can enjoy. Keep 'em coming 🙏

The benefit of using paper vs digital is, while drawing and creating flash it also allows you to retain the flow of the art, in my opinion all apprenticeships should only be taught by hand. In my opinion.

As somebody that has been studying tattooing for a year and just got an apprenticeship, I know that despite the level my work is at at the moment, I know close to nothing. I hear artists like you guys that have been doing it for a decade or more, saying that they have so much left to learn and it makes me realise that it's a never ending learning curve. I never want to be close to knowing everything, that sounds boring. I want to be constantly learning and doing better. Also, I'm the guy that did the Jon fake skin tattoo. Matt next and I've just subbed on patreon. Really appreciate what you lads talk about on the pod, gives me a lot of valuable information which is what I'm hungry for. Cheers from the UK guys.
