beautiful work holmes, but i have no idea how things translate to skin

Maybe try using a pen on skin and taking photos of it??
I don't know shisse about tattoos

I personally don't like it, but I think there would be lot's of people out there who would. Especially in B.C.!
But I think becoming a tat artist has more to do with you're skill with a needle and being able to produce the shite, predesigned dolphin and tribal stuff, rather than being able to do custom work. But I could be wrong, and usually am.

ha ozhanlion, that was a sculpture i made, god i would never give anyone a tattoo like that!

All looks all a bit wishy washy if any of that is going to be appled to skin. I guess your designs need to look more refined, and finished.

jamesengage and mike_g, sure you NEED to have skill with the needle, but you need to have some talent also, just to get your foot in the door! right?

to be honest and 200% imo i don't think a tattoo artist will let you apprentice based on that work because it's not really tattoo material (which doesn't say it's bad). if i would be you i would get a stack of tattoo magazines and books and just start drawing from that. focus on simple things first and if you master that go on with more complex stuff. start with western / oldskool based stuff. in the meantime get your self tattooed a lot and just look what they are doing, how they work the machine, build up the shading etc.

Sure, it's all very vaginal and phallic. Perfect for tattoos.

the most important skills are drawing skills, just creativity but with the hardest canvas around namely skin, the rest is just technique, like being a car mechanic basically.

thanks for the feedback guys, keep it coming. i am not worried about how "unclean" it is, i KNOW i can do clean work if i had to, i just prefer not to (when painting).

Wouldn't they want to see sketches and drawings rather then water colour paintings......!?

Unfortunately I think it's all who you know, like everything else in this cliquey world. I think your style, probably wouldn't help you get in the door, not that it's bad, it's just so different from the norm, you may want to start by approaching someone in the biz to help you build up a diversity in your work. I have a few friends in Toronto that do this for a living and it's a tough thing to get into unless, you've been in the "scene" for a while.

i am not going to show them this site, it is just for me to have on the web. also my boyfriends stepmoms, cousin is a tattoo artist here in calgary and she owns a popular tattoo studio, so i have a REALLY good in.
- save0
is the money any good!?
- rabattski0
well the classic way to get in is to get tattooed a lot first.

i like that rhino thing. anyway, you should cover yourself with tattoos so you'd be a walking portfolio
