Der Tattoo Thread.
Scandanavian War Machine:
read Rant.
it's pretty new and it's so unique when compared to his other books (honestly, they all blend together and i can't remember which is which anymore).
in summary: Rant is awesome. go get it.
Drill King:
Big question that's potentially important.
Would you get a tattoo from someone who had no tattoos? If they had decent skill and such, if you liked their work? Would you consider them not to be 'supporting their craft', etc?
I would love to potentially work as a tattoo artist, however, I feel that I'm far too picky and fickle about layout of a tattoo for me to appreciate it on my own body.
Talking to a friend of mine who does tattoo art, he mentioned that without a decent amount of tattoos myself I wouldn't garner respect even if I was a skilled ink artist, thoughts?
Jimmy the Squid:
I wouldn't get tattooed by someone with no ink. Partly because from all the tattooists I've spoken to they have all tattooed themselves as part of their training (unofficial training perhaps?) and I basically wouldn't trust someone to etch something permanently onto my body if they weren't so sure of their own work that they haven't done it on themselves. Basically people won't trust you.
Drill King:
I'm getting that, but for the record. Many many tattoo artists don't do their own body, some do, but most do their training on pig skin and grapefruit.
I'm just curious as to if I had examples of my work, good work, why the lack of trust?
Jimmy the Squid:
To be fair most of the tattooists I know are the old biker dudes but whatever.
I just wouldn't be able to get a tattoo from someone who doesn't like tattooes enough to get their own basically. It gives me the impression of a lack of dedication to the artform, I'm not being mean - this is just what I would think.
