Tattoo Artist

Tatted Mom

Tucson, AZ

Female, 32

I'm a tattoo artist who underwent a standard apprenticeship under a certified tattoo artist. I am an artist first, tattooer second, which means I put creativity and art into my tattoos, not just the 'you pick it, we stick it' type of tattooer. Apprenticeships for tattooing vary by state, according to the laws. I'm also a trained body piercer, as well. Any questions about the job or apprenticing, I'd be happy to help!

PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT price tattoos. Seek a shop for that.

Can you put the UV ink over the normal tattoo ink without messing up the normal ink??? Or is the UV ink one of those things that's just used to out line the art???

Asked by Tessa about 11 years ago

You can put UV ink where ever, just keep in mind that UV ink only sticks around for maybe a year. And, if it's the colored UV ink, and not the clear, it will look strange on your skin when not under UV light, and can splotch out badly. UV ink is only FDA approved for tagging fish, not for human use.

my husband has a new gun..the black ink goes down good, but cant get the colored ink to go down....the well has ink in it...it lays down on the skin, but skin doesn't take it

Asked by karen almost 11 years ago

First off, it's not a "gun," it's a machine. Secondly, I'm assuming your husband hasn't been formally trained as a tattoo artist, so therefore, I refuse to help. Thirdly, there's no actual question here. Forthly, tell him to stop tattooing until he is formally apprenticed in a shop.

Asked by Mary Lou over 10 years ago

Holes in your hand and in a lot of pain is not normal.

My sister has a monroe piercing so I can't get mine pierced as well. Tonight i'm getting a monroe look alike mole as a tattoo. I've drew it on with black eyeliner and it looks good. But, what color do you think I should tell the artist to make it?

Asked by Kristie almost 11 years ago

A piercing is not permanent, but tattooing a fake mole on your face is. I'd think twice about the tattooing your face part, and get the piercing. It can be taken out later if you don't want it.

Hey. sorry for asking another question but would i be able to get a tattoo at the age of 16?

Asked by leo about 11 years ago

Depends on the state you are in, but even if the state tattoos minors, your parent or legal guardian will still have to be there with you and sign a consent form.
