eyes on the priiiize 👀

Whoever says that, doesn’t know s**t about tattooing.

what you see online is the finished piece, here’s a few things that go BTS…

the endless drawing.
hours spent creating, revising, resizing, perfecting.
most tattoos are worked on long before you ever sit in the chair.

early mornings. late nights.
appointments all day. drawing all night.
your “days off” are usually spent catching up.

the pressure to stay booked.
no clients. no income.
social media becomes a second full-time job.
posting, filming, editing, answering messages, trying to stay visible.

the physical toll.
hours bent over in the same position.
sore backs. cramped hands. tired eyes.
still showing up and giving every tattoo 100%.

the mental load.
artist. business owner. photographer. editor. marketer. therapist. networking.
all at the same time.

the constant education.
learning new techniques.
taking seminars.
studying art.
practicing over and over because average isn’t enough.

people see the finished tattoo.
they don’t see everything it took to get there.

SO GO HUG YOUR TATTOO ARTIST AND TELL THEM HOW AMAZING THEY ARE!!
