I’ve looked at photoshop, but I’m thinking that it might be more suitable for photo editing rather... Read more ..read more

Here is a tattoo I did recently after finishing an apprenticeship under someone after being a self taught artist for years trying to make it into the industry. This forum is where I learned a lot of what I know about tattooing and helped me get into said apprenticeship under a portrait artist. Now I specialize in anime tattoos and get to go to conventions.
