Thanks so much to @Marissa Scott @Karl Hubbard & @Dustin Marler for submitting work for our first critique video! Putting your work out like this is such a great way to learn. Not just for you, but for the whole group. There’s a lot of value packed into the advice in these videos. We’re not calling out faults, more looking for areas to improve as we go forward. Please keep sharing your art & tattoos to the feed. I’ll only critique them if you ask in the comments.

Thanks to you guys who joined the Instagram live today. I did you see your names pop up. It was a test today, but we’ll keep doing these! @Marissa Scott is a warrior! Today was our second 8 our session (some of this was done previous) We filled in a lot of the upper snakes & around the face. After 8 hours I asked if she wanted to end & she was still keen to do more. 👊 Tomorrow is day 3! We’ll post info, but thinking to do another Live stream when we get started. It will be just after mid day Vancouver time. Make sure you follow me www.Instagram.com/truth_inkr

I just did this rose today on the fake skin. So much different from tattooing on skin. But I wanted to show my progress in tattooing. The one rose was first of many tattoos I’ve done. It was the 8th tattoo I did. It was from January of 2022. I never actually realized how much progress I have made until I looked back at that and realized I am getting somewhere with my tattooing. The rose isn’t perfect but it is wayyyy better than the first one. Sometimes I find myself getting stuck in my head thinking I’m not good and then I don’t draw for a little bit, but then I find my groove again and realize how much joy and happiness this career brings me. I have learned so much and have sooo much more learning to do but I am very grateful and happy where I am at right now. I’m starting to get more and more clients, people that I don’t know so this is a great start. When I was growing up I never thought I would be a tattoo artist and now I couldn’t imagine what life would be like without it. Thanks for looking!!:))

Hey guys, I just wanted to show the octopus tattoo that I pretty much much finished up. There’s still a few details left to add but it is basically all done. This is my first big colour tattoo and for some reason I just can’t get the saturation down packed so i would appreciate some advice and criticism for this piece. Thanks for looking!! Also wanted to show my set up. I forgot to take a pic with all the colours in the ink caps. I used a 15cm and a 9cm. This is the third session for this tattoo!

I recorded a safety/set up video! Just having some upload issues, so that's coming very soon! I've had a busy week, ending with a stay in a hotel - 5 mins drive from my house. Its my daughter's 11th birthday, so we always get a hotel, even if its just in the village here. Whistler Village is a tourist destination, so still a fun place to stay. I'm thinking of doing another live call this week. I'd love this to be a regular feature of our group. Thinking Weds 14th 11am - Vancouver timezone (pdt). ☎️ Let me know if you'd be up for joining -
