Tattoo practice is similar to my illustrative practice.

I found this article with advice for beginner tattooists, and as I read it I realised that most of this advice can be applied to my illustrative practice, and vice versa, the big difference is that my work will (hopefully) end up on skin, rather than print.

1. Get critiqued!
2. The secret to tattooing is repetition.
3. There are trends in tattooing, and you will follow them.
4. Use reference.
5. Your style will come on its own.
6. Progress seems to be connected to humility.
7. Dont chase money
8. “Keep your head down, do your best, don’t worry what the other guy is doing.”
9. That “AHA!” moment will happen to you.
10. Have fun
