Why not have a subforum, in the paid section, for people who actually work in the Tattoo industry? A place for artists, apprentices, piercers, machine builders, hell even the front desk.
It's not that hard to verify whether someone actually works in a licensed tattoo studio, etc. |

Not a responsibility I think the Mods are interested in taking on, and not something I think would benefit the site overall.

why? are those of us that dont work in the industry mainly because we arent lucky enough to be able to get ourselves an aprentice not good enough to mingle with?

I think the idea that makes this site unique among all the other tattoo forums out there has been lost on a few people.

QUOTE (emcee2 @ Sep 1 2009, 03:29 PM) couldnt have said it better myself. what makes this site so good is that we have none of the tattoo snobbery you find elsewhere. i don't post very often but i visit here on a dailly basis and try to soak up as much info as i can, freely given info, that is helping me develop and move forward with my art. the area i live in you would have no chance of an apprenticeship and to be honest i would'nt want to work under most of them any way. their work is not great, their attitude is shit and i walked out of a studio a few years ago when the artist turned up after lunchtime stinking of alcohol. i cancelled my appointment and never did get the tattoo. sorry to ramble on but what i'm trying to say is working in a shop does not make you a great or even good artist. |

bah, rubbish!!
There's enough of those kind of forums already, wasn't that the whole idea behind this place to begin with?? Before you hop on me for being a "scratcher" looking for a free ride or knowledge that I "havent earned", lemme note that I apprenticed, Im licensed and have shop experience. However that doesn't matter, learning is learning. Period. i started off on my own with help from some kind and talented people here and at NJ's site. While everyone here isnt a "pro" there are more than a few that earn a living from tattooing, building etc. Hell, ive seen members here (non pro's) that have more talent, drive and smarts than some "pro" artists that i know or have worked with. No offense man, but it kinda sounds like youre looking down on the members here from a high horse. -------------------- "There’s a fine line between clever and stupid." - D. St. Hubbins

I am sor of self taught, though I have miles and miles to go, however in the last few weeks I have met a tattooist that is willing to answer any questions I have, Let me sit in on the odd tattoo( interesting ones!!) and just come in and chat. Luckilly he knew me through bebo, and I didnt need to ask for his help ,he offered!, Basically terrors attitude is the sort of attitude, that puts the likes of me off asking for help, almost feeling intimidated,Iconsider myself very lucky, the things he has helped me with may seem simple but if you dont know, you never will,, and basically this is what this sit is about(to me) its people willing to share help and experience, . im bambling now so ill go just my 2 bob -------------------- [color="#FF00FF"][/color][size="5"][/size]

So, you'll talk to a shop manager about stuff, but not to an aspiring tattoo artist who draw's every chance he gets, every day, practicing and preaching clean, safe, responsible tattooing?
Let me get this straight. You don't want to talk to someone like me, but you are o.k. talking to the licensed artists who puts out work like this:  There are idiots on both ends of this apprenticeship argument. But it still kills me to know that you think the guy who put out the crap I just posted gets automatic status points for having a station in a shop. -------------------- |

I get where your coming from, but i also agree that there shouldnt be an "us" and "them" divider. If anything...its all of us against the world! I do agree that a guy that buys a $60 starter set off of ebay and starts chewing skin on his friends for $20 a pop, should have his hands broken until he gets some form of training. However, i think you have to admit, we all had to start somewhere. At least with this site available, those ebay tattooers will know the proper way to protect against BBP. That in itself is reason enough. I didnt take you comment as snobbery. I do understand the idea that those who have busted their ass to learn everything they can, dont want to just hand that knowledge out to those who havent done their time. But in the grand scheme of things, we are all here for one reason. because we love tattooing. And in that regard, we are all on the same team.
-------------------- Artistic growth is, more than it is anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy; only the artist, the great artist, knows how difficult it is.
