I just want some advice and tips but please no stupid answers
Thanks!Tattoo art advice and tips?
I wanted to be a tattoo artist but persued something else. You kinda need the raw talent BUT raw talent originated from art classes. Take some classes and see if you still want to do it when your older. You have plenty of time!Tattoo art advice and tips?
Tattoo's are disgusting, don't ever become a Tatto artist!
please answer my Question- http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
wasnt there a show on cable about tatto artists?
google it.
i think thats cool. keep drawing, take a class or too, find your inner creativity
better if you get a tattoo when you are pale white
My two cents worth, after being in this industry for over 16 years I can definitely tell you ';raw talent” is in the eye of the beholder you can be good but what is good? Is Picasso good? And there will always be someone better as our own work will never be good enough for ourselves. What is in the minds eye? You may see a blue shirt while someone else sees a blue shirt with highlights, mid tones, lowlights.
Taking in consideration contrast and reflection against the background or any other elements it the scene. I know plenty of people who can’t draw but yet they tattoo? Can you trace? How good do you want to be? if you have a basic knowledge of light source and shading this will put you a step closer, repetition (drawing the same thing over and over) , attention to detail, and the drive to get better as an artist will defiantly help, weather you are a tattoo artist or a painter you have to love the art!
As far as the uneducated close minded insecure hypocrites! Who say tattoos are disgusting. It pains me to think someone gave birth to this person and maybe even on purpose? To think of how stupid it sounds that Art is disgusting?? For most tattoo artist, the only thing that separates a tattoo from the painting is the canvas..... Someone is too ignorant to say anything intelligent so they say “Tattoos are disgusting'; what makes them disgusting? Is it the ink? Needles?? The person doing it?? What? How is that helpful advice??
My advice is to keep doing what you’re doing, honing your skills .the biggest question as an artist is ';Why?'; (Why did the artist doing this painting put that color there? what did it do for the painting?)
Stuff like that will help you improve dramatically and ATTENTION TO DETAIL!! a must! Hope this helps and good luck with your venture!
