This site is no substitute for a formal apprenticeship
This site is no substitute for a formal apprenticeshipThis site is not a substitute for a professional apprenticeship with a licensed tattoo studio. Nor is this site a definitive source for learning the art or trade of tattooing. An apprenticeship is the ONLY universally accepted way to learn proper safety practices and sound technique.
While we welcome members of all levels, we STRONGLY advocate staying away from skin until you've received formal training from someone who works in the field. Hell, even hair stylists must complete over a year of courses, pass a state health board exam, and apprentice under a professional studio before earning a chair.
The trade of tattooing has a rich history and traditions that have been passed down from generation to generation. If you respect the art, please show your respects by learning the right way.

Client has outlined what he wants.....anything as long as the 2 old shoulder tattoos are covered (both pretty faded, about 8 years old), I was thinking (yawn) a tribal piece to incorporate the existing tribals , tattoo not to go above collar height but can go as low as required,all ideas greatly appreciated, peace out,P.

so you basically have his entire back to work with? dude, ditch the tribal idea and focus on something more epic. I don't really see tribal working anyways as the existing work is so big and compact. You wouldn't have room for any negative space within the tribal. i'm not really sure what you should do as i don't know what the client's into, but this is definitely a chance to get creative and have some fun.

(drawings not finished so no bashing me
