So a buddy of mine wanted a dranzer artwork as he is a beyblade freak! Let’s just say practice skins and live skins are a whole different game! Although I consider myself lucky that I have friends who are trusting me to tattoo on them!

So here it is. The very first tattoo I make on a friends shin! Yes, THE SHIN! Arguable one of the hardest places to tattoo on! Still need more time and practice for more crisp lines!

And it’s Day 01 of actually using a machine on fake skins! Building on the basics all the way!

Will share the expense of the total equipment I got and what I got in the next post!

I forgot to tell you all why did I chose to learn tattooing! Well I have gotten inked quite a bit and these are the 2 I love the most! The demon slayer half sleeve was done around 3 years back and the Japanese knife was made a month ago.
Losing my sister 5 years back took a big chunk out of me and demon slayer was an anime I could relate with a lot! And then me being a chef for the past decade a Japanese knife was inevitable. Crazy to think the artist who did these is the same person I am apprenticing with right now!

So just like everyone suggested last time I did get into an apprenticeship which begins in a few days. But since it’s been quite a long time I’ve picked up a sketch book I just started referring to Pinterest and doing some freehand. Here’s a few pencil, pen and digital works I’ve done in the last few days.
