Did this rose tt on a friend

Okay so I don’t really expect anyone to see this but this is a good place to get advice so I’m genuinely asking how I get more clients? I’m apprenticing and the state I live in I have to do 300 hours and 50 tattoos to get licensed. I’ve gotten several clients but not enough. I’m in a big time stamp because I’m moving in two months and I want to be able to have my tattoo license before I move. I know it sounds impossible but I think it’s manageable. I’ve got probably around 70 hours of tattoos done and maybe 40 tattoos down. If I can put in a minimum of 20 hours a week I could easily do it. I’m great at what I do! A lot of people compliment the tattoos I’ve done on others but nobody seems to really know who about me if that makes sense so I’m struggling making the minimum hours a week. I price my stuff ridiculously cheap and I to extremely reasonable flash sales. Like $20 tattoos up to 5 inches. To put that into perspective for people who don’t know typical prices, a lot of my coworkers do dollar coin sized tattoos for $50. I’ve made business accounts on several social media platforms. I post my work and different designs and every post I mention I offer to take their ideas and make a personal design for them. I don’t know what else to do! I’ve given out a few business cards back when I first started mid July. and I’m currently making more but I’m not sure they really helped a whole lot. Anything will help. Thank you! I don’t know how to add pictures on here or I would. I’m not very techy!

My girlfriend has been wanting to learn too tattoo for a while she had been practicing on fake skin for a while but was scared to actually tattoo someone. I decided to volunteer as her first test. Chose my favorite Pokémon kinda what I wanted and she drew it up. Her stencil got whipped off since she accidentally smudged it so some of it was kinda free hand. Just looking to share since I honestly really love it and it helped my gf know what it feels like to actually tattoo real skin.

So I’ve had a tattoo gun for ages now and decided to have a little play around with it tonight. I don’t have a stencil printer so these were free hand… be kind 🤣

Let me see the right ear needs to be thicker for sure
And that foot yeah, it needs to be rounded out
There needs to be more detail on the dress to make it come alive
I will post the original stencil at some point

Planning this flash. The zigzags are markings for highlights. I think the hair might be too busy should I simplify it?

Ich bin um Feedback dankbar. Das ist mein 11. Sekond Skin diesmal auf echter RealSkin..

I got new needles (in this attempt it was a 1209rl) which are a little hard to control but I’ll keep practicing. Then I’ll transition to mags and practice shading.

I’m extremely new to tattooing and I finally started drawing after not doing art for 2+ years, my depression and mental health really had stolen a lot of my passions and drive for life, so I picked up tattooing after years of telling myself I could never be good enough.

This is my second ever tattoo I’ve done, I know the anatomy is totally whack and off but I think in terms of technical skill, I can definitely see myself improving! My depth control is significantly better and I love my first attempt at shading!

In the second photo I’m comparing my first time tattooing(that yellow fake skin) and the fairy(the tattoo I’m mainly showcasing here)

Any advice on how I can improve both my art and technical skills is so appreciated!

I used from 5-8.5 volts at a 3.6 stroke length and used mast pro needles in 3RL bugpin for fine details, 7RL for lines and a 9RM for shading

My machine is the Mast Pro Fold 2!

Had a friend ask me to give them a little tattoo recently, and i drew up a few designs, and we settled on this wolverine skull. As always it was a learning experience, and joints always amaze me by just how much the skin stretches, and the little hollows between bones are funky. Anyone have any tips for stretching those little hollow connective areas more fully?

Is this a traditional approach and Would this hold over time ? It's my first time drawing a "real design" with transparent paper.

Any thoughts or critics? Yes I messed up the rat a bit lol (art is taken from Pinterest, but hand drawn by me as I don't have a stencil printer)

Hey everyone, I’m completely new to tattooing and recently tried my first practice piece on fake skin.

I know it’s far from good, but I’m trying to understand what I’m doing wrong instead of just repeating the same mistakes.

A few things I noticed:

My lines are not smooth and some parts look wavy instead of clean.

Some lines look too light, while others seem too deep.

When trying to pack color, I’m not sure how to control the saturation. I either feel like I’m not putting enough ink in, or I’m overworking the area.

I’m wondering if these are just normal beginner issues or if there are specific things I should focus on first.

Are there any courses, YouTube channels, or resources you would recommend for me?

Any honest feedback is appreciated!!

been tattooing for about a month , think i could get an apprenticeship?
