Hi lovely people! Is anyone here a tattoo artist? Looking for some advices on how to start :)

I'm currently doing illustrations and would like to start testing out tatoing. Any advice on how to start?

  • @Jessie Cohen hey Jessie, thank you that’s a really good idea, I’ll give it a go! Your work looks amazing by the way, would definitely be beautiful as tattoos!
  • @Grace King it’s going to take me some time before I get there but can always let you know if you’re still interested!
    I think Instagram might be the best place to look at this...
  • Hi Anissa,

    Great question! I'm not a tattoo artist but I get frequent requests to turn my illustrations into tattoo designs. I'd suggest promoting your work as tattoo flash art on social platforms, as well as photoshopping your illustrations to present them as tattoo concepts on skin. This would be a great way for people to know you're open to tattoo art, and a first step towards finding clients and learning to design tattoos for different body areas... building up your portfolio for a tattoo apprenticeship :)

    In the same vein, here's what I've been doing: https://www.chromakane.com/tattoo
  • Not got any experience in tattooing but I'm looking for a tattoo artist for myself and wanted to find an artist first rather than a parlour!
