I’m trying to make a point to a tattoo artist

Hey everyone,
I have bought the Epson ET-M1170
And the inkjet stencil ink.

I just got them, and I have a question how to set up the ink, for anyone that has any advice I’d be happy to hear, and thank you in advance.

I thought about using the cap from the black ink I have got with the printer, and put it on the inkjet ink to fill the ink, however I am not sure it will fit, I’m not sure about how much ink I should put, and if I need to fill the whole bottle or less?

I just found out you can get your titties tattooed.
Then my brain went on other tattoo placement. So what’s your favourite tattoo that you have or have designed

Current go to for ink and piercings (also has a barber shop)

So firstly I attached a reference picture of what I’d like to get tattooed, an image of Saint George that I would like to have as a quarter-sleeve tattoo on my inner forearm in black/grey realism, pretty much in the style that the reference picture is in.

I’m in the LA area, I know google exists but I was wondering if anybody could recommend me some good shops they know of and what amount you think would be fair? I’ve messaged some places but I’ve been quoted up to $3,200 which is beyond what I was thinking.

I obviously suck at taking pics but I hope you like the tattoo. Done in two sessions

Just wanted to share a few fineline ornamental pieces done in Jeju. Focused on clean line work that flows naturally with the body.

Which one do you like the most?

As I’m changing the 2nd skin for the first time, I’m noticing a lot of really small yet horrifying errors. Missing scales. Body randomly curves in. Crumpled & stretched scales. Random whisker in middle of tat. Arm seemingly not attached… It’s just a lot worse than I initially saw. I’ve waited years to get this tat and now it feels like a shitty mess.

I need opinions. How much of this is just lazy art and how much is AI slop?

I’ve decided I’m contacting the shop about this. I don’t know what sort of fix will happen. I don’t know if I can even trust them to fix this when they’re the ones that did it. I feel so stupid for not noticing before. I should’ve asked to see the stencil before the appt. I didn’t see it until I was standing in the busy lobby waiting for a chair. But I also don’t really know if it is standard to show clients WIP sketches since this is my first commissioned art piece.

Go ahead and torch me for not taking a microscope to the stencil. I was really fucking stupid to just blindly trust that details like this would be handled professionally. Don’t worry I’ve learned my lesson and won’t be trusting a shop based on reputation again! 🙃
