RyanGarry Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Hi, my name is Ryan, I'm 18 years old and from Dublin Ireland. I am currently looking for a tattoo apprenticeship and I am doing some apprenticeship like work experience in a tattoo studio called Tallaght Ink :) my favourite styles are Traditional, neo-traditional and some black and grey. I am currently trying to build a good portfolio so if anybody has any tips, send them along and it would be greatly appreciated, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exume Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Do not start threads asking questions about "breaking into the business" of tattooing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanGarry Posted July 6, 2014 Author Share Posted July 6, 2014 Sorry but I wasn't looking for tips on 'breaking into the business' I was just asking for tips to improve my artistic ability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiling.politely Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Draw a lot. Seems like a non-answer, or too obvious, but it's all you can do to get better. Also, the old adage "practice makes perfect" is a lie. Focused practice makes better... hopefully. Set small goals and work towards them in your drawings, even if it seems as simple as learning different ways to shade leaves on a rose, them move up.

smiling.politely Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Oh, and I forgot to mention, get tattooed a lot, learn about the world it comes with, learn about the respect it deserves, and be sure it's right for you first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanGarry Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Thank you, yeah I got tattooed for the first time 2 weeks ago and I started using ink and trying to learn how to blend and colour properly, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
