WOW so this kid who I know that tattoos at his house...we had a conversation via myspace today. I posted the photo of the swet grim reaper with the banner sickle thing. He covered up a tattoo on some girl using the thursday bird. This is what he had to say after i commented it and said "send her our way so we can cover that up."
"its not a bad tattoo it just on a crappy person. its solid black you might be able to come that with a bigger bird but thats about it. i had to cover a faded out atomic piece that had only been there 2 years.
you guys should just hire me to cover all the crap that came out of there years back
most of those were done at a tattoo shop a worked at called D tattoo shop in largo for about 6 months till i realized i wasnt making the money i wanted. i have already gone thru an apprenticeship. i just am not in a shop right now which is fine cus i hear no one is really making good money any way.
my machine does have some problems , i work thru them. I have never had an un happy client so i guess im doing fine. i can understand why you feel like you do. i know there are alot worse " artist" out there. ive been hassled 100 times by people trying to "help me out" or telling me to quit but how i get my work done is fine in my eyes and my clients eyes so i dont worry too much. Mom's tattoo was opened by a scratcher and they are a great shop. i use new needles and disposable tubes, i keep my area clean and sterile with the same products you guys use at atomic (medi-cide). i can understand your concern, but to be honest i like my work and have no fear in showing it off. i have plenty of returning clients and make a good amount of money in my spare time and i dont even have to pay any one for the work i do.
for me this works out great. as well i can charge less and still make more money per piece.
i dont know why any one would want to be in a shop"
for reaaaal? this kids a joke.
heres some of his "work".
and heres some of his drawings....
yeah this kid sucks at life.
