Professional artists who can make random loads of hard cash tend to have addictions to deal with their feels and aren’t stable. Drugs, trauma, and no therapy make you crazy. Be wary as an apprentice you shouldn’t be your mentors alarm clock, their bail, their ikea furniture builder, their mechanic, or any other ‘out of store helper’ this could put you in a lot of potential danger. Don’t be them, be better. #watchout #besafe #itsaboutart #tattooingisaboutart #art #tattootips #TatArt #tattoo

If your stencil’s lines are wider than your needle then you have to choose one side of the line to follow in order to make clean line work… but more importantly you should make thinner lined stencils (be sure that they are still dark enough to see, though!) ~go for clean, dark, thin stencil lines~ #tattootips
