    If you live near Nyak you can go see the guys at Vanguard Tattoo. As far as recommending a style of lettering: When you do find a good shop you think you'd like to get tattooed at, ask them to see some samples of lettering. Most respectable shops will have a book for you to see with lots of different styles. It's kind of hard to suggest something like that over the internet. Most people get either script or old english lettering but there are many many other options.

    I agree with Dari 100% Sorry you got stuck with another bad tattoo over the old bad tattoo. It happened to be once before too, I know the feeling. As others mentioned, laser might be something to consider if you are really unhappy with the work. And just to say it again, don't go back to that shop or artist!!

    This is our cat Sophia. She doesn't like people and won't drink out of a bowl. She stays outside most of the time (we live in the country). She cries when she wants to come to drink from the tap or take a nap. I had two other cats but they we're both taken by a wild animal in the same week along with about 4 other neighbourhood cats, we think it was a mountain lion. Someone spotted one right around the same time in town.

    now I don't feel like a such a retard for posting this exact same thing a week ago... For some reason that art appropriation thread is hard to find in a search..

    Jaycel, we ARE discussing your first post. You posted something and here's all the reactions.. I don't see where this is getting into being surreal? You say you sign your name beside your posts, guess what so do most of us. We're not hiding behind anything. As far as going off on tangents, that's what happens in any normal conversation. If you're bummed cause people didn't agree with you and ripped apart your post, well you shouldn't have posted it I guess. People DID address your original post before "droning on about how you have no right". Almost all of the first page of replies is directly in response to what you asked. People talking about how they started or their opinion on how someone should start.

    Brian, we've all been telling you for weeks that this guy who was teaching her sounded like a fucking moron, well you just once again proved us right. He sounds like someone you and anyone else who wants a decent tattoo should stay far far away from him. As far as him taking a cut of the apprentices money, that is very common. Some teachers do it, some teachers don't let apprentices charge for their first tattoos and some let them keep any money but don't let them charge a lot. The other are right about her needing to toughen up too. You will fuck up a lot of people before you start doing tattoos you think are o.k. The fact that he look one look at her art and said "o.k. don't waste your time learning just go ahead and do it" should have tipped you off from the start. It's too bad that her dream didn't come through but that's life. Maybe if she keeps drawing and getting tattooed regularly by good tattooers she'll have another chance. If not, there's lots of other art related jobs out there. If she does get offered another apprenticeship, just make sure to really check it out this time I guess.

    You're right stewart, I took immersed as meaning tattooers, maybe I shouldn't have. I do still stand by my remarks about tattooing being comparable to other things.

    I just wanted to say I can't wait to meet some of you guys in person at a convention or something. It's either gonna be great or the worst ever.
  16. Ursula
    Do you not think that someone who's dedicated their life to a craft has something in common with you, who claims to have done the same?
  17. Ursula
    Not everyone who doesn't do tattoos is a know nothing idiot. I know many of you won't believe this but there are some people who are immersed in tattooing who aren't tattooers. No I haven't sat and done tattoos all day but there are people who have been around the shop more and know more about the art than half of the apprentices and a bunch of the tattooers I've met. If you'd open your mind to other things you'd realize that there are crafts that can be compared to tattooing. Not right down to the last detail but there's a lot of things you have to do that other craftsmen also have to do. If you think you know enough about every field out there to say you're better than someone else because of your profession, then you are no better than the people you complain about.

    Ursula replied to dari's topic in Random Crap

    Awesome! I'm happy to hear about your new garden. I like "quick getaway garden" and "gypsy garden" best! I was just posting some photos on my instagram today of our garden. Well it's really my grandfather's garden. He lived on a farm growing up in Italy and kept the garden going when he came to Canada in the 50's. I can always remember him having a huge garden and even fruit trees as a kid. A few years ago they moved in with my mom and started a garden here (I'm living with her now too). He passed away in February but did plant some stuff in the fall and in the spring we planted the rest for him. Usually we get a decent harvest but this year it's gone crazy! Yesterday we got about 30-50 heads of garlic. Last week we brought in about 15 cucumbers, 5-10 zucchini, and countless beans (fava and green). We're still waiting on melons, and we have about 100 figs ripening on the tree (first year they've grown to size). We also just harvested a bunch of herbs to dry and preserve. So even in the afterlife, my grandfather's hard work has paid off and fed his family for another season.

    Only 100% tattoos 100% of the time.

    Dan, I'm having a hard time figuring out the tone of your message. I hope you aren't trying to imply with the last sentence that tattooing is a more special thing than other trades. I can assure you there are people who feel as strongly about their trade or craft as tattooers do about theirs. There's people who put as much hard work, time, money, etc. into their craft as a tattooer or tattoo apprentice does.

    I don't think I'm going to get my toe knuckles tattooed, just looks kinda weird to me

    It's a near article.. but I can't stop thinking - What happens if they break up and now she's covered in a permanent reminder of him? Maybe she won't see it that way but maybe she will and that would be shitty! You guy's are right though, it's nice to see something positive about tattooing in the media for once!
