“In my world, paper beats steel.”

Paper Star from #CarmenSandiego was my first practice piece where I went through the main steps of doing a tattoo—sans prepping a human. Mentor had me trace my design via tracing paper instead of using the thermofax

More tattoo apprentice practice :D my mentor gets bored easily, and he tired of my straight line drills before I did 😆 I moved onto organic lines and shading and eventually color, each time shifting when he got bored of me going the same thing

Machine alt: Rick Astley and Teletubbies Real alt: Sheet of fake skin with slightly cleaner geometric shapes tattooed on it but faded line tattoos. The drill sections are numbered from 59-65, indicating the passage of time and practice. There are also Gradient bars and numerous lines drawn closely together at the bottom of the sheet

Finally sharing stuff from my tattoo apprenticeship! :D I started in July of last year, so I’m about 8 months in. I’ve done a LOT of drills and I didn’t realize until recently that this kind of fake skin is hard to ink. Mentor just said I suck so I thought, “skill issue”😑

An exposed thigh against a weathered metal surface revealing a tattoo of a dragon head done in a Neo-Traditional style. There are a few fresh spots but it is mostly healed and settled.

I think I can finally share this one 🫣

I’ve been chipping away at this dragon head on my thigh for a while now but I think I got the last bits I wanted to touch up knocked out today!

Nathaniel is baring his upper middle arm to reveal a freshly tattooed illustration of a kohlrabi, a root vegetable. The tattoo is under a layer of Recovery Derm Shield.

Nathaniel is showing off a freshly tattooed bunch of grapes drawn in a 70s illustrative style. It is colored in bright purple, pink, and greens. He is wearing a bright blue shirt and gray patterned jeans.

Finally got to tattoo some of my fruit and veg flash!!
Nathaniel opted for a funky lil kohlrabi and a bunch o’ grapes 😁

This was an absolute joy!
