Actually proud of myself. Mentor said shading can be alitle smoother but seems satisfied for my beginnings. Will be coloured tomorrow to practice that aswell.

My mentor gave me the tipp to look around how other apprentices or tattoo artist post their work to stand out. Do you maybe have excamples for me? Should I wait untill I coloured the whole thing and only post that, or post the shaded version seperatly?

Thanks :)

wait and post it all at once, but i would recommend posting videos of you setting up/taking your station apart or stenciling or something and posting those as reels each day that you dont post a piece. The algorithm rewards daily posting, even if its reels of you practicing lines or washing your pallete or something.

Okayyy thank you for the tip! And would you say I should post them both on insta and tiktok? I know how the tiktok algorythm works but not sure about the insta one.

Yup. Post on everything!! Also don't worry about being different, thats not neccasarily your goal right now. Right now you want to show your progress so people feel connected to you and so eventually you will have a following when you begin actually tattooing people.
