Tim St Jean Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Hello everyone! I am a 28 year old self taught artist and single father of an amazing 8 year old boy, i have been doing a non-paid apprenticeship as a tattoo artist for three and a half years under an artist with over two decades of experience in a licensed tattoo studio. i am very excited to be almost finished my apprenticeship! However i am in serious need of help to reach my goals to buy my equipment and realize my dream, iv really struggling to save the money, if you are interested in helping out please check out my crowdfunding page http://igg.me/at/W7SVoksCAKs i am not expecting it to be successful, i set a very ambitious goal, would just be amazing if it worked out and hey....its worth a shot. Some amateur color pencil work of mine. its my hope to be putting images like this to skin in the near future as a professional tattooist after i secure my equipment/supplies and insurance. look forward to lurking the forums and checking out all your amazing work and stories :) Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6366-apprentice-and-crowdfunding/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogg Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Please don't take this the wrong way--or take it the wrong way, if you'd like--but you are barking up the wrong tree here. No one is going to fund you, and my reply will likely be the most polite you'll receive. And if you have to ask why, well....

SeeSea Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Forget indiegogo, get a WorkHarder: Nailed it. What I wanted to say, but wasn't able to word politely. Remember the chick from last year who asked that we pay for her tattoo? SMH.

OutOfIdeas Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Hahaha. I may have to stop getting tattooed next year for medical reasons, and I don't earn much at the moment. How do you guys and gals feel about funding my back piece?? You can choose the artist even! polliwog 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6366-apprentice-and-crowdfunding/#findComment-116850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CABS Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I too, would like someone to pay for my tattoos. Any takers? Big fan of Workharder by the way. Kickstarter is internet hobo'ing at it's finest. tatB, daveborjes, Graeme and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6366-apprentice-and-crowdfunding/#findComment-116949 Share on other sites More sharing options...
