tattoo artist....?
lately I've been thinking on how i can become a tattoo artist. basically since i could remember I've always loved to draw, now I'm thinking maybe i could put good use to what my mom refers to as wasted talent(since i don't do nothing with it). family members usually ask me to make them a design for a tattoo for themselves. what it comes down to is that i wanna know your guys opinion, i jus started a sketch book the other day and i wanna know if its worthy enough to go on someone for the rest of their life, or in other words would you get it? don't mind constructive criticism, lay it on me thanks.

ive asked my tattoo artist that....he said that if your a true artist. you will learn to adapt and look at the skin as just a different piece of median to work your artisitic talent.
good luck...with your quest..follow your dreams and pursue your goal!!!

very nice scetch!! but remember if your interested in becoming a tattoo artist you have to be TOTALY dedicated!! i used to be a scratcher and thought for a long time i was going into the industry..... then realized i was too focused on my music to take being a tattoo artist full time seriously.... skin as a base for art is waaaaaay different than ANYTHING you could practice on ie. fruit ect. everyones skin is different and everyone bleeds a little different wich in turn has an effect on how the ink stays or bleeds out.. im very experienced in the tattoo world for sure as im pretty much covered from neck to ankle and to be honest your sketch looks like you could be on your way to a new career!! check this out........me...a hard working blue collar stone mason with art skills..... made 70 gs last year my tattoo artist also a blue collar type guy with incredible tattoo skills who works 4 days a week totaling maybe 20 hours of ink time cleared over 125 grand!!! i wish i would have stayed dedicated to the art!!! oh well!!......... nice sketch and when your interested in becoming an apprentice drop me a line maybe i can help you out!! good luck!!

nice sketch as stated before... kind of has this graffiti style to it as well... do you have any ties to graffiti if so how? If you don't mind i'd like to see some of your other art.
