Nich's Blog (5)

Hola, world of MohawksRock! It's your friendly tattoo apprentice Nich here to give you an update to what life's been throwing at me.



Well, as it stands I am now able to work on clients after nine months of hard work and a lot of cleaning and bitch work. I am very pleased at my results and hope that I only improve. I'm only allowed to work on small stuff but that's more than enough reason for me to get excited for the fact that I get to work on PEOPLE! Still have a long way to go but… Continue

So it's been a rather long time since I've been active here. It's nice to see that the community is growing. Who would have thought that this place would kick off so well? Kudos to all who came and those who are still here. It's definitely an awesome place.

Over a month now and definitely showing much more improvement in the eyes of the artists at the shop. I'll have to throw some of my portfolio up so you all can see. It's rather cool to me, so maybe you'll all feel the same way. Anywho! Let's talk about the shop and the multitude of hawks that have been appearing since I've been there! I've counted three people that have had a regular trim cut kinda shaggy and a little short that have been getting some work done every now and then. They've all… Continue

So yes, this tattooing bidness is definitely a work on thought process. From what the tattoo will look like, to what kinda needle and grip to use, to color coordination(and it doesn't help that I have two artists who color differently...), to sterilization techniques and the proper way to handle cross contamination.



I fucking love this job!! Nothing is the same unless it's unoriginal, but we don't do unoriginal. We do custom and "fucking awesome" as me and PJ have come to call it. So… Continue
