Want Ink?

As you may be aware I am in training to be a tattoo artist, and it has come to the point where I am looking for volunteers. At the moment I need people who are looking for new tribal tattoos and people with old tribal tattoos that they would be interested in giving a fresh coat of ink. We will need to see your design and placement before we can tell you if it is suitable, as some designs and body areas may be more suited to training than others. Obviously I must stress that I am in training but the sessions will have Leon (who has been tattooing for 13 years) and Matt (who has been tattooing for seven years) on hand to supervise.

Just to summarise:

- At the moment I am looking for ONLY black tattoos

- Your tattoo will be done at a slower pace and will possibly need retouching after it has healed

- In the case of new tribal tattoos, the outline will be done by either Leon or Matt, I will be filling it in

- As...

Re: Want Ink?

McCoy mentioned this at the weekend, definitely something I'd be up for. I quite fancy a tribal design at the very top of my right arm. Quite fancy a tribal cross kinda idea, in keeping with the tribal trinity symbol on my other arm. But I absolutely SUCK at art, so don't even have any ideas for actual designs. Somethin' about 5 x 5 inches I reckon. Shall do some doodlin' on post-its in work this week and sling ye a PM

Re: Want Ink?

Are you just doing tribal, or any plain black?

Re: Want Ink?

Looking for some tribal calf work may drop you a design in the next few days, also got plenty of tribal that could do with re-inking.

Re: Want Ink?

Is this just solid black tribal, or shadings of black?

at the moment its solid black im afraid

Cheers for the interest guys. for those of you who have dropped me a PM i will be intouch soon. as it is at the moment i am tattooing one person a day ( i still need to work and cant devote all my time to practicing) and i am operating on a first come fist served basis and i am filling up pretty quick so it may be a a week or 2 before i can get to some of you. so please be patient.

but for anyone else still interested feel free and drop me a PM
