    Thank you so much for this video! At the start of COVID I lost my office job and it’s always been my goal to be a tattoo artist so for the past year I’ve been working away in my room teaching myself how to draw and building a portfolio. This video has really reassured me. I still have a while to go but this is so helpful! Thanks dude

    Im really good at digital art, and tattooing has always been at the back of my mind for a dream job.. Im just nervous to actually contact a shop 😭

      @@pollyjoyce1 the way my tattoo artist explained it is tattooing is NOTHING like paper or digital. Also, 99.99% of artist now a days design digitally. Pack that portfolio full of digital designs and if they deny you because of it they were probably too outdated in their thinking to really teach you well in the first place

    This helped me so much- I’ve been struggling getting anything accomplished , I’m in a sorta limbo just drawing aimlessly with an intention of eventually having a portfolio done... my brain feels so scattered all day long as I work without actually getting anything done really!
    so your right. Make a list of what specifically will be on each page- then finally I’ll hopefully be able to just focus and get pages done. Lol seems simple but my brain is so scattered with stuff like this, I try doing everything all at once then get stuck not knowing how to begin

    I've been drawing my whole life, and took multiple art classes at my high school. What I found I'm best at is thick line work cartoon art. So I think it could be easier for me to adapt traditional tattoo styles. Of course I'm going to practice it until I get it down, and I'm sort of excited and nervous to talk to the tattoo place I go to about it. I'm going in to finish up the rest of my tattoo in about a month, so I'm going to practice drawing every day until I have enough to show him. I probably wont have a portfolio ready by then, but I'll have photos on my phone. Isnt the best way to go about it, but I have to work with what I got, and the only thing I have is my artwork and determination

    Hi, question. So I have my portfolio together, but I have some work in my binder that is too big to fit into clear sleeves so I put a few together in the front and a few together in the back of my binder (which they would just have to pull out and look at instead of flip the pages) is that considered unprofessional? Those are photos I would love to share. They are just too big.

    • @KariMay_
      @KariMay_  Před 2 lety +1

      It's not unprofessional, it could work. Have you considered photocopying it and reprinting it to the right size? You can always write the true dimensions so they know its bigger👍

      @@KariMay_ I have not thought of that no, but thank you for that idea and I will have to keep that in mind. I was also wondering does it matter what day you really go into the shop to show your art? Do you think week days are better than weekends or does it really matter?

      @@opticmayhem7876 it really doesn't matter, obviously someone needs to be available to speak with you which depends on the shop/the apointments etc. I just went in when I was free. But if you wanna be safe maybe early on a Monday?

    I really want to do this...I have a 5 year old son so it's not possible to draw for long periods of time and I find myself getting disheartened cos I don't have enough to put together. A few years back I lost all my paintings and drawings in a bad situation and felt too sad to start over. But I seem to have found myself doing it again...

  • @robbierobert9355

    I’m about to get an apprenticeship with a shop I frequently go to, but I really hate realism.....I enjoy fun ones, I do respect realism but it’s not my cup of tea and I don’t think portraits are very good looking at all. I would prefer having personality and my own style, so the tips you gave are good but I really don’t think you *need* to do realism to get a tattoo apprenticeship lol that’s just more of a old standard that some shops uphold

    I wouldn't go to a tattooist that doesn't actually have that many tattoos. Just saying. You can spend all day drawing nice pictures but you need to start defacing your body.

    • @KariMay_
      @KariMay_  Před rokem +15

      no offence but I do have lots of tattoos, which you cant see in this video, also doing an apprenticeship doesn't pay and tattoos cost A LOT of money. I don't understand why you would judge an artist's ability based on how many tattoos they have them selves.
