  1. Yes, that can be tricky. I would print out some of the images you like and maybe take them to some shops near you, see if any artist is interested in creating something similar. It might be a little hard to find an artist who you like and who will also do something outside of their certain style. You may be able to at least find someone who does similar work, and they will give you their interpretation of it. Get some consultations done if possible, and then you cab see what artists might be willing to do.
  2. First off, welcome! Secondly, what style of tattoo are you looking for? Traditional, floral, tribal, etc. Or do you want to be an open canvas for an artist? Thinking about these things can help you narrow down an artist you like. Also, it doesn't hurt to just go visit local shops and check out portfolio books. Talking to the shops can also help you.

  3. Welcome! So happy you love tattoos! They are an extremely personal thing, not to mention attached to your body! No one is obligated to show off their tattoos to anyone! I am quite new to LST also, hope to talk to you la Sent from my XT1064 using Tapatalk

    Hello!

  5. Hi everyone. I've been interested in tattoos and tattooing my whole life! I have studied many facets of tattooing and body modification, and I just can't get enough. I hope that one day I may be able to call myself a professional tattoo artist, and to specialize in surrealistic colour work. At the moment, I continue to self educate and study until I find a Mentor. Through my journeys of the tattoo industry, I have come to find that the community is not quite as supportive as I would have hoped. I constantly come across so called tattoo artists who will instantly insult you and treat you horribly because you don't subscribe to their vision of tattooing. I have encountered people online and in real life who have out right threatened myself, or told me to go kill myself, over trying to start discussion on sensitive topics. I have also lost a lot of respect for those who tour how apprenticeship is the only way, as no one seems willing to discuss alternatives, and will basically threaten to kill you if you propose otherwise. I want to talk, and gain more information, not be told I'm not worthy and then threatened and insulted. But I digress... I truly believe the tattoo community suffers because of this certain attitudes that have perpetuated and really do not embody the true tribal roots of tattoo. I hope that I may be able to have some meaningful discussions here with true professionals who wish to educate, not scare people away.
