My Old Tattoo Art
Added 2025-02-11 22:53:12 +0000 UTCBack in 2015 I was a licensed tattoo artist for a short period of time. I went through an apprenticeship and got my license, but let it expire once it came time to renew for a variety of reasons.
Here is some of my old flash, sketches, practices that I kept from that time.
A practice page for american traditional flash, mostly Sailor Jerry style tattoos
Here is a large flash piece and what would be the stencil for that piece, never used
Various flash work
Various flash concepts and sketches
Last but not least, practicing free handing text. I hated text and if I were to go back to tattooing, I'd simply tell people I don't do text work.

I firmly believe every artist has went through a tattoo art phase 😮💨

If youre using alcohol markers like copic I have never found a paper that doesnt bleed, its best for copics to only draw on one side, with a blocking paper between pages to prevent excess bleeding. You can try other sketchbooks with a paper weight of 95lb or over that should hold up. Its good to go and feel the paper texture and see if its something you like.
