Hey everyone,
Without giving out any extremely personal info, I would safely state I am very well versed in most things Tattoo related.
I am opening this thread as a way for members to ask any questions they may have about the process, or voice a concern they may have.
For example; Someone is consulting with a local artist who they feel may be fleecing them, you can inquire here and maybe I can help with a bit of info on how tattoos are generally priced.
Or maybe someone is healing a tattoo and has concerns. I can try to help quell the concerns or if need be, I may suggest to make a doctor appointment to be safe.
Tattoo artists are like mechanics, or tradesmen in general, there are very skilled honest ones and very corrupt low level con men.
Hopefully I can be of some service . And if you just want to shoot the breeze about stories from the shop or your experiences, of course feel free to add them as well. This is your house.
I also will add "shop stories" , most of them are from rougher areas in the earlier years. Everything from cheapskates to addicts and in between.
I would like to add a quick disclaimer though. My advice is general advice that is used by professionals in the tattoo industry. However, if you have a good artist that you have a good repoire with, please follow his instructions, especially for aftercare. In the end you are his client. And his name is married to your tattoo. In the end please take my advice for what it is, someone on the internet trying to help.
After writing that last line, I asked myself , "why would these guys listen to a new member who is a stranger on the internet?" It just sounded crazy to me. I'll give a bit of info on my "qualifications" and you can take it all with a grain of salt (as well you should with anyone online you don't know or hasn't been vetted). I am going to try to walk the line of giving info on my experience and not giving who I am away if someone else here is pretty involved in the industry.
I have been hands on involved in Tattooing for 17 years now. My 18th year starts soon. I work the large well known conventions in my area. Most importantly in my opinion is that I have a great clientele filled with repair clients who are happy, and some I have become good friends with.
I honestly can't think of anything else that would matter to you guys.
I suppose the best way is to judge the merit of my experience based on the answers I give to any questions in the future.
I hope to be of some help and contribute to Meso. Thanks again for having me.
