Hi! I'm new here and to the tattoo community in general. I'm looking to learn about the culture and make some new friends along the way.

Here's a bit about me:

I'm a guy in my mid 30's about to get my first tattoo

Got 2 twin boys and an amazing wife

I'm into black & gray portrait realism

I work as a software developer and would love to build something for tattoo artists

Good to meet you!

-Drew

Hi! What is your tattoo going to be of/who's doing it?

I've got a couple in mind.

I've got a really close relationship to my brothers. Also, since my boys are twins, they are close as well. I want it to be the phrase "I am my brother's keeper" in script. I'd love to get it done by BJ Betts. I'm new to the community, but from what I've learned so far, it seems like he's the man when it comes to lettering.

I'm also a Christian and I'd like to get a black and grey Jesus piece. Portrait realism. I'm in Southern California and I'm a big fan of Carlos Torres so he's my pick for that one.

Thanks for asking!

Welcome! As a software developed, what did you have in mind?

One idea I had was an app like Instagram but that featured images posted by tattoo artists. Artists could create their profiles (including contact and shop info, convention schedules, etc) on there and post their latest work. People could use the app to follow their favorite artists like they do on Instagram.

The difference would be that they could also search the app by styles, location, etc to help them discover new artists. This is something I don't think is easy to do on Instagram. I'd also want a way for artists to verify other artists. That way if I know I like the work of artist A but they're too far to travel too, I can see who they recommend who's closer to me.

Just some thoughts. Think anybody would be interested in an app like this?

      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.

      The only "amazing" thing I've been doing lately is job hunting. Honestly, it’s stressful. I’m always worried about having enough money for basic expenses and stuff each month. There are lots of jobs on Layboard https://layboard.in/vacancies/jobs-in-uae/jobs-in-dubai/speciality/baker, where I’ve spent most of my time. I sent my CV to several companies and I’ve got decent baking skills, even without formal training. So I hope they'll give me a chance to do a test task or something to show what I can do.
