this guy’s a joker! there far more superior products out there to apply a stencil now. Also, by using the same roll-on deodrant on each person could cause cross contamination before tattooing has even begun. Anything that touches the skin before ot after tattooing should be disposed of after each use, wrapped up, or steralised! Do people actually follow advise from guys like these?

Everyone begins somewhere, The best of the best didn’t start out being the best, They started somewhere just like everyone else, I remember where I started , I bought a kit, And started tattooing pig ears, You think GETTING tattoos is addictive? TATTOOING is the most addictive thing i’ve ever done. As for stencils, I just use green soap to apply. Works great, But speed stick method has been around for years. Good stuff!

Yes! We remember how we got started! With an APPRENTICESHIP!!! The thing you all are missing is that we were all “ARTISTS” first. That is why you get turned down by the top secret holding dicks! If you are a competent artist with a strong portfolio and a strong desire to learn the craft, you should have no problem finding an apprenticeship. Tattooing is just another medium for an artist. Same artistic principles, different technical technique.

That hit a nerve. Yes I have listened to that crap and that’s how I can say they SUCK! They mean “we can make mad money off of stupid crackers who try and act ghetto.”

12 blackswan51 March 1, 2010 at 12:02 pm

yeah whatever and have you even listened to ICP? do you understand what they mean?? or is your head so far up your ass you cant hear anything?

By cross contaminating everything, he is at a high risk of spreading Hepatitis and other blood borne diseases.

14 blackswan51 March 6, 2010 at 11:21 am

And how is her putting public health in jeaopardy??

And you ever think maybe the guy wanted a shitty flash tattoo?? and not a good bit of custom

15 15HeavyMetalHead333 March 8, 2010 at 10:56 pm

lol whatd he say about the razor??

16 CronicArt March 10, 2010 at 1:20 pm

You didn’t teach me shit! I’ve learned from actual tattoo artists, not some hack from Scratcherville North Cakalak! I have respect for this industry and the artists that have come before me and there are dues to pay for knowledge. You and all these other wanna-be’s are killing this business and fuckin’ people up. You are right about one thing. You are not worthy!

17 Skizimz March 13, 2010 at 10:05 am

I agree with tat2doc, all people have their own way and there is no right or wrong way there’s only your way right?. Well as long as you can handle it properly, then no ones opinion or suggestions or stupid little comments matter.

P.S. Common sense to me is just something that holds someone back from trying out new things, its just something everyone does over and over again and that doesn’t lead to any new WAYS does it? Oh and don’t bother answering those questions.

18 tat2doc March 15, 2010 at 4:17 am

Fact remains that I was doing my part before you even thought about being a tattooist. What have you done?

Hey everyone, CronicArt is gonna teach us all the right way to do things.

Oh great tattoo guru, we are not worthy…..lmao.

Lay off the pot and Hannah Montana and come back to earth. You’re no expert & your way is no better or worse then anyone else’s.

Just another little fish in a big pond that thinks they’re gonna take over the world.

We taught you remember? You didn’t teach us.

Well if you helped author the reg’s, you didn’t do much writing then. NC has very limited regulations and they vary from town to town. Actually NC regulations are a joke! If you want to know what procedures we follow you can find those guide lines in the Red Cross Sterile Procedures and Blood Borne Pathogens courses. I’ve tattooed for 10 of those 13 years in NJ. Which has some of the strictest regulations in the country.

NC regs are about 2 pages and NJ is about 30.

20 tat2doc March 18, 2010 at 12:12 pm

Wow, an expert tattooist with 13 years experience. I’m impressed. Define proper procedure.

I’ve got 40 years experience and helped author the state regs for NC, and some in Oklahoma.

And I guarantee that your way and my way are different. That makes you no more right or wrong then anybody else is.

But perhaps you could do a video and show the whole tattoo world how it’s supposed to be done. That would be thrilling.

People take more time and effort in picking out $150 sneakers that last 6 months than choosing a tattoo that you will have forever. Be cheap on clothes, not your body! You get what you pay for and with this guy you’ll get a bad tattoo and a bad disease. Then you can use the money you’ve saved to pay the doctors to take care of the Hepatitis and Staff infection you get.
