hello all I am super new here and hope I can help and find help or just have good conversation. I have been tattooing privately for almost four years now and I don't think ill ever go to a "shop". the ones around my corner of the world all are pretty bad as far as the whole experience. with the exeption of a few guys that are very talented. I do piercings here and there too. lately I have been spending a lot more time building and trying new things with my machines. to the point where I am barely tattooing or drawing, i need to get back on track with art. I use coil machines mainly i have one stealth that i use a little. inks are moms and starbrite but i just got a few colors from iron butterfly(mint choc. chip) and a light blue and they are awesome imo. any one have any experience with iron butterfly. I have been studying a lot, and have been saving aluminum, brass, and copper. i hope to have my furnace up and running by next spring( i takes a while to save i have two boys) i would like to cast just some simple proven frames( bulldogs, coastal waters, clipper, jonesy, ect) i have been making the hardware and springs already and have built a few machines for friends, just out of extra parts and what not. i know a lot of people will tell me that not every one can build. i know this but i am very good at tunning and have been buying tools necessary. I will be the first to tell you that i am not the best at all or imo good! i am very open and hope for feed back from anyone

      Tattoo anxiety

      By Hogrider · Posted

      "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are" So if you were fat and out of shape it would be OK?  🤣 Tattoo Anxiety is not unusual, but it really depends on how long it goes on for. Has it been weeks, months, years? You really don't have a lot of options. Despite what laser removal centers would have you believe, you'll never get totally rid of it. Any cover up will need to be even bigger and bolder, don't let any "artist" tell you differently.  Given the tone of your post, "I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are," "My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line," "The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight," "Everyone loves it" it sounds like the reality of the tattoo doesn't meet your expectations.

      Tattoo anxiety

      By jdm · Posted

      Hello, So I'm new here and reddit is just awful people so, I wanted advice. So for some reason, I allowed a tattoo be blasted down my arm. My fault I know. I'm very fit and complimented all the time how tone my arms are. So, I got a sun over a lotus tattoo. My artist is extremely talented, there is not 1 shaky line, crooked line, and hes not cheap. Hes been tattooing me and my husband a long time. The line work is out of this workd, perfectly straight. Its a bold tattoo. All black. Everyone loves it. But for some bizzare reason, I can not look at myself in the mirror at this tattoo. Has this ever happened to anyone before? It's healed, but all I do is cover it and hide it. Has this happened to anyone? It turned out bigger and bolder than I ever imagined. From my shoulder to about 3 inches above my elbow.

      Good luck. Job hunting sucks. I got laid off from a company after 20 years and it took six months to find a job. I was in the dreaded “middle” management role at an IT company. A little over two years later my new company was  bought out and they did a “restructuring” which means the people doing the work get fired so the people sitting on their fat asses get fatter.  I couldn’t find what I really wanted so I just retired. Might be a good time to think about switching fields.
