Illegally tattooing myself and my frands...

Its my new hobby. a slippery slope of ink designs. I just bought a machine and - as it turns out- I'm pretty good at it. So I came here to ask for tattoo ideas... andddddd GO!

Well done. Creativity is an amazing thing. I never realised there was such a thing as illegal tattoos. Is it difficult to get registered as a legal tattoo artist?

As for suggestions, I’ll get back to you and post some images. 🦊

yea its super difficult to get an apprenticeship around here. probably because i dont know any tattoo artists personally. ive hear that they risk losing money if their apprentice flops and i think thats why it may be so hard. as for illegal tattoos.. 😞 - yea. i had a self- righteous tattoo artist jump on my case because me tattooing without an apprenticeship is "disrespecting the art form" - like, whatever man. how about "respect the journey"

 

Alas...ill post pics of what ive done so far. i have to transfer my portfolio from my phone to laptop real quick

the vine is a complete redo/ touch-up and the last one is a tree spirit my friend picked from google images. i just put my own spin on it with the stripes and dots. i also experimented with a bit of white ink there

Is it painful getting a tattoo? When I was in the US Army I was tempted to get one but ended up spending the money on drinks 🦊

no its not bad. when i was working up the nerve to do my tattoo i was so nervous about it bc im such a wimp when it comes to pain. A lot of it is positional, too. Certain places are more tender than others.

Here are a few that might interest you. 🦊

This New Years Resolution is to get a Tattoo. I'm thinking of something like this design.

Might want to invest in an autoclave, or hep c tests. I'd save up for the former.
