Wanting to do more studio vlogs and action shots tattooing, peeling stencils, setting up, cleaning, daily life stuff.
I'm looking at the osmo 3 any recommendations on that or smth similar? I'm on a tight budget for it.
What do you use to make your content creation?
Do you mind sharing links to your videos so I can see your output with your set up?
What are you all doing with your hobbies to get as far away from work related activities and save you hands from more tedious movements?
I was running through random Instagrams in my area and came across an artist who was putting white randomly inside letters and around the edges of their blackwork.
The only time I have ever seen people do this is covering up their fucked linework or panicking over instant blow outs.
Is there a new reason the cool hip kids are doing this these days an old timer like me just isn't privvy to?
Can't for the life of me remember who it was to get a screenshot but the basic premise was the vertical bar of a lower case r, the inside loops of a lower case g, a, e all had white in them. It wasn't even a small fine line tattoo either it was probably about 3/4 inches, letters had plenty of room for settling.
Is it a new style? A new technique? I am curious. Has anyone also seen something like this or do you do it?
Moving to the area from Hull in August (hello 👋😊)
What are some good tattoo shops and what are ones to stay away from?
Looking for queer inclusive places that don't shame people's bodies unlike that one that I heard about in Leven. Which coincidentally is where I'm moving to. I drive so happy to go further afar, but not too far, driving after a tattoo is terrible. I have mainly blackwork; I had been looking forward to getting some black out work done here in Leven but maybe not now unless there are other local black work specialists?
Grok is fried. I'm looking for a new image generator I do some horror and NSFW (no pornography) and 100% only work with image generation no movies. I'm looking at the $30 dollar tier. And just trying to catch my bearings with reviews of the service.
I forgot to save the comment but someone suggested a image generation alternative and it was a when site (white background) with a bunch of different generation tools going down it, each having their own cost to run, some like $0.02 $0.23 etc can for the life of me find it again and I want to try it. Anyone know wha ti could have had been?
Grok is not refusing to generate pokemon and anime stuff for me. Anyone else?

How separate do you generally keep yourselves from the business side of the shop owner’s finances?
For example, do owners usually keep things completely private, or do they openly discuss financial stress, debts, struggling months, overhead pressure etc with the artists working there?
I’m curious where people think the line is between appropriate transparency and oversharing, especially when you’re self-employed but still working within someone else’s business.
I didn't notice till they left. They also didn't notice. It is a chemical compound. I'm not a science person. They okayed the design after seeing the stencil so I'm safe but holy shit my dudes, they also didn't say anything after seeing the final tattoo. I didn't take photos. I feel physically sick.
And tell me exactly what the chemical compound is. A client sent me it and Google tells me one thing then another. Is it anabolic steroids, or is it naturally occurring testosterone - or something entirely different?
It's getting worse. I got 25 images of a rose today - nothing NSFW, just a rose outline, on super Grok,till I reached my limit. Wtf.

How is business where you are at? Have you found you've needed to do new things in order to get clients in? What styles are trending in your area? What are your thoughts on your council's lax in giving out licenses willynilly? How's things in general for you?
And people getting tattoos.. Whats stopping you from getting tattooed if anything? Are you enjoying the British tattoo scene currently or are you getting inspiration elsewhere? What is something you enjoy that your artist does - or what would you like to see more of during your service?
Trying to deepen my understanding of how the tattoo climate is currently in the UK. There seems to be a lul for some in some areas and not in others. I'm not seeing much artistic innovation coming out of the UK opposed to other countries.
