Starting to learn a new skill - tattooing

If you guys follow me on my socials you might have noticed a bit of a shift in my content. I recently decided to invest in some tattoo supplies and start learning everything I can about the art of tattooing. I am in week 4 of my practice and let me tell you it has not been easy. It’s been so long since I actually learned a new skill I almost forgot all the challenges and self doubts you go through. That being said I am really enjoying the process of working in such a different way and not relying on color and paint washes.


so i just wanted to share some of my best tries in this short blog post. I know I haven’t been active on my blog in like two years but I think i will try to revive it and post at least twice a month.

This cat flash sheet is probably one of my favorite ones so far. I really like how simple they came out and readable as cats. also i know that some of the paws don’t really look perfect but hey line work can be pretty difficult to make and i am happy with my progress considering that this was done in week 2

i also attempted a few traditional desings and i found these a bit easier to work on. However the thing about traditional tattoos is that you cannot fuck up the line work. Because the shapes are so simple any mistake will show instantly.

i also attempted a little bit of shading with this moth tattoo. I think I might have overworked the skin in some areas but I am so thankful i have this fake skin to work on. Overall i don’t think this moth tattoo came out bad , i just wished i would have made the wings symmetrical from the sketch stage.

one of my most recent attempts was this traditional flash sheet. The designs are taken from freepik so they are not made by me but i thought that they would be perfect for practicing straight lines and being consistent with my line work.

i have started documenting my progress on youtube and i will be posting weekly or biweekly videos showing you pieces i am working on and hopefully this way i will be able to see personally my evolution in time and maybe also get some advice from other tattoo artists. i have made a playlist over on youtube called my tattoo journey


as for my shop and other illustration adventures i will be continuing to update my shop with products as i go along and i will also be posting exclusive behind the scenes over on patreon. it would help me a lot if you guys could support me over there as tattoo supplies are not cheap and taking on this new skill has definitely been an extra expense. oh and don’t forget there is a washi tape deal happening in the shop now and prints and sticker sheets are on sale!


I LAUNCHED MY PATREON PAGE!!!

I finally did what i have been wanting to do for such a long time. I launched my patreon!!! Yay. I’ve been wanting to find an additional income for my illustrations where i can paint what i love and share everything i discover and know with you guys. I also want to send gifts such as prints, postcards, notebooks and stickers to my supporters and i think this is pretty much the perfect way to do it.

If you don’t know Patreon is a platform which allows artists to receive funding directly from their fans, or patrons, on a recurring basis or per work of art. So you can basically pledge however much you want starting from 1$ and you receive exclusive content.

For more information check out this studio vlog where i talk more about the tiers i set up and the awards for my patrons.

But to have an overall idea of what i am giving as awards here are my current tiers

I hope you guys find my Patreon interesting and if you do decide to become a patron I will be forever grateful and will do my best to give you guys loads of goodies and behind the scenes <3
