Does anyone have any stories about this shop?
The two artists of this studio currently have several apprentices they post about that have been training maybe a year and already on clients for months.
One of their apprentices shouldn’t even be tattooing on skin yet. Reused designs 24/7, many designs seemed to be traced (or just weirdly designed) with no composition taken into account, inconsistent lines and ones that don’t even join up.
This isn’t even against the artist themselves but as a shop and as tattoo mentors, it reflects incredibly badly. It’s insane to me they have no sense of responsibility to make sure they have the actual practice and skills needed to be able to at least do decent linework consistently before tattooing on actual skin.
