You are talking about 'negative' tattooes- where you tattoo around an area, and the place you left blank is the image. Some negative stars would probably look good around a Day of the Dead Marilyn Monroe. Maybe some kiss prints? It's hard to throw ideas out wihout seeing the tattoo, lol.

Can I sue the tattoo artist for improper apprenticeship training.. I have not been trained or work in the shop sine our contract was signed..my 6moths are up and he now wants me to pay him the 5,000$ for my apprenticeship and tattoo license

Asked by inkgame over 10 years ago

How about, instead of paying the $5000 and then trying to sue him, you just find another shop to apprentice in? Why would you pay someone $5000 if they aren't training you, just so you can sue them later? That makes absolutely no sense, because then you are out $5000 AND have to pay lawyers, when you just handed the guy you are suing $5000 to pay for his lawyers...

After geting an all black tribal I can see some light spots and a few blotchy spots that need touched up. After the touch up will they then look darker then the rest of the tatt or blend in naturally?

Asked by Ron over 11 years ago

If the same ink is used and the touch ups are done pretty close to the time of the original tattoo, the inks should blend together. If you wait years to get it touched up, the new black will be darker.

Hi, have a tattoo with a lot of color. some outlines are in red or green and some in black/grey. Some of the colors are fading - do other artists hate redefining someone else's art? Original artist is no longer in the area. not sure what to ask for.

Asked by N9NA over 11 years ago

It all depends on the artist, so I say just ask. I can say, if you don't know exact colors used in the tattoo, that can make it difficult for an artist to touch up another artist's work.

What is the type of tattoo called when its just a lighter shade of your skin, not colored ink?

Asked by Natasha over 11 years ago

I'm not sure about a 'lighter' shade of your skin, but black and gray tattoos are done with different shades of gray ink and no color.

Ive been seeking an apprenticeship for about a year and a half. Its extremely hard to find. I read into a 3 month tattoo 'school'. I am asking if it would rewin my chances of getting hired, or getting an apprenticeship. What do you think?

Asked by ryan over 11 years ago

Tattoo "schools" are a joke, in my opinion. They may help you learn the fundamentals, which may make it easier to get an apprenticeship, but I wouldn't count on it. Then, you could have wasted all that money on the school for no reason.
