Do you want a tattoo?

  4,173 views
steve - 9/21/09, 9:51 am
Hey everyone,
i am getting to the point in my apprenticeship where i need folks to tattoo to help me build my portfolio.
if you already know me, you know that i have a decent hand at art, design and drawing, but in tattooing you need to be technically capable as well. I am offering to tattoo you for free to cheap (mainly the cost of time and supplies) in exchange for the fact that your tattoos will be my first portfolio pieces.

I am currently apprenticing at New Addiction Body Modification on Grafton St. in Worcester, MA. You would have to come out here and we would be observed by my mentor. I will do anything you'd like for a tattoo just keep in mind that, while i can draw up anything you ask, i am just starting out so it would be best to keep it smaller and simpler. (sorry, i'm not doing free back pieces as my first tattoos)

sound good? If you know my number, feel free to hit me up and i will talk about what you want in depth and answer any other questions. If you don't, you can PM me or get at me through Facebook.

THANKS!
ryantheterrible - 9/21/09, 10:03 am
I'm prolly gonna have you do something wicked stupid on me if that is cool.

Can you draw up one of a cowboy riding a book ala the wyoming logo?
steve - 9/21/09, 10:05 am
ryan, if that's what you want, then yes, i will draw that up for you.
wwd - 9/21/09, 10:05 am
yo I'll do this steve. let me think of a tattoo real quick.
ryantheterrible - 9/21/09, 10:06 am
Scratch that.

what about a zombie hand holding a donut?

or a portait of Milhouse?!

or homer's corporate logo?
ryantheterrible - 9/21/09, 10:07 am
I should probably get the tapatio guy though.
Spiller - 9/21/09, 10:08 am
I want a large piece, but I would probably start with just a small part anyways. I also have no problem going to Worcester. I might even consider giving Ryan a ride there.
steve - 9/21/09, 10:09 am
ryan, if you hadn't gone and covered yourself already, i would have given you an entire simpsons sleeve.

i will do one or all of those, dude.
but decide which one you want and you've got it.
wwd - 9/21/09, 10:10 am
I should get FILE PHOTO but my head with a thousand ciggarettes sticking out

nip - 9/21/09, 10:23 am
Mark you should get: 860 212 6555 tattooed on you.
steve - 9/21/09, 10:25 am
ryan, i think if i did three on you in one day, i'd be pushing it. so i'll say two.

then i wanted an anatomically correct heart over my heart
then i wanted a dandelion the cottony kind
can you draw me something sad and pretty
steve - 9/21/09, 10:32 am
sad and pretty....like a child being carried into a sunny spring day by his mother, but reaching out to hold onto his snowman friend who is trying to follow but is melting into a puddle?

tintern - 9/21/09, 10:46 am
Oh hey, I happen to live in Worcester and want more tattoos!
And I've seen stuff you've drawn and think its rad so I will be mesging you RIGHT NOW.
Willed2death - 9/21/09, 10:55 am

pplpeeler - 9/21/09, 11:46 am
i want another one. think you can handle a black column on my inner arm?
minor detail, yet realistic line drawing..no cartoony stuff
pretty simple
thedeathofsid - 9/21/09, 11:48 am
oh hey steve, I'd consider this the next time I have a day off. I suppose I could take the commuter rail out there, right? There are a few smaller tattoos I've been considering for a while.
thedeathofsid - 9/21/09, 12:00 pm
oh hey steve, I'd consider this the next time I have a day off. I suppose I could take the commuter rail out there, right? There are a few smaller tattoos I've been considering for a while.
steve - 9/21/09, 12:01 pm
yeah. the commuter rail runs out to worcester and city buses (Bus #5 i believe) will get you right to that shop. It's also located about 2 miles down the road from the Millbury exit (exit 10A) off the Pike.

i can draw whatever you guys want, but as for the actually tattooing of the drawing, i'm just getting started so that IS part of the risk. This is probably not a great opportunity if you don't already have a bunch of tattoos.
streganona - 9/21/09, 12:15 pm
i might take you up on this! i'll drop you a line. this is neat. thanks for offering.
tintern - 9/21/09, 12:45 pm
This is going to be awesome.
bonnie - 9/21/09, 2:16 pm
i would like an outline of the state of NH. i have a car. let's do this!

DeadMen - 9/21/09, 3:26 pm

cutandpaste - 9/21/09, 3:28 pm
will you do inner lip tattoos?
whitney - 9/21/09, 3:28 pm
yay steve! i am too far away to take you up on this offer but would totally trust you with sharp needles.
cutandpaste - 9/21/09, 3:29 pm
More importantly: Will you do X-Files themed inner lip tattoos?
ryantheterrible - 9/21/09, 3:30 pm
how about Snoopy, smokin' a blunt and drinkin' a 40 o' Mickey's?
steve - 9/21/09, 3:31 pm
uh....maybe not inner lip tattoos.
maybe in a year or more?
steve - 9/21/09, 3:33 pm
you guys are trying really hard to be funny, but the sad truth is that there will be plenty of walk ins asking for all the shit.
ryantheterrible - 9/21/09, 3:33 pm
steve - 9/21/09, 3:33 pm

Someone legitimately asked for that while I was getting my chest done years ago.
DeadMen - 9/21/09, 3:35 pm
Steve already drew a tattoo I have on my right arm years ago. It rules.
mattprice - 9/21/09, 3:37 pm
hey, i wanna do this! i just need to figure out how to get out there....
asemisldkfj - 9/21/09, 3:39 pm
do you have any objections to having a chumbawamba album cover in your portfolio?
steve - 9/21/09, 3:42 pm
New Addiction Body Modification
1137 Grafton St. Worcester, MA 01604

you can take the Worcester commuter train out here and the #5 City Bus will take you right to the shop.
or you can take the Pike out to exit 10A and it's less than 2 miles down the road.
steve - 9/21/09, 3:43 pm
i'm not greatly opposed to the CONTENT of the tattoo just so that the piece shows HOW WELL i tattoo.
ryantheterrible - 9/21/09, 3:45 pm
Can I bike to it from the commuter rail station? that's prolly what i'll do.
steve - 9/21/09, 3:47 pm
yeah, you can do that. it's not too crazy. maybe 3-4 miles from the train station.
nip - 9/21/09, 3:47 pm
Ryan i'll drive you. we can get carebears with each other's names in the belly
steve - 9/21/09, 3:49 pm
I WILL DO THAT!
ryantheterrible - 9/21/09, 3:50 pm
hahah I don't think steve wants that in his portfolio but if you drive me i'll buy you lunch.
nip - 9/21/09, 3:51 pm
Fuck it. i'm only going if i get a pink carebear with your name in it.
ryantheterrible - 9/21/09, 3:51 pm
Ha I mean if steve does that AND something else...wait I can't have the carebear AND your face people will start to ask questions!

tintern - 9/21/09, 5:56 pm
Ryan, I was thinking along the same lines. There are a couple simple things I want but I'd be really curious to see what Steve would come up with as well.
Kyle - 9/21/09, 6:01 pm
i want a broken compass tattoo. not sure how its broken. not just broken glass, but like, screwed up arms, or something. draw this. i'll be in new york cityon the 9th of october, come here and tattoo me.
sugarbee - 9/21/09, 6:13 pm
i'm not allowed to do this. grr.

someday though! also, the picture of his first tattoo is pretty sweet. people will be lucky to be among his first portfolio pieces!
guy - 9/21/09, 6:16 pm
do pec tattoos distort badly if you gain a few inches on your chest ?
steve - 9/21/09, 6:27 pm
they can, depends on how many inches is "a few".

guys, i am flattered and absolutely stoked to do artwork for all of you if you'd let me tattoo it on you, but i really REALLY want to stress that i am JUST GETTING STARTED. I will be happy to do tattoos on your ribs, full sleeves and especially tattoos of my own design, but i need to begin kind of simple.

some of you have asked for straight black, outlines, simple designs, stuff like that is pretty good and pretty difficult to fuck up.
not to say that i will fuck it up, but i can't say that it couldn't happen as i am JUST STARTING OUT and that's kind of the kicker about getting a free/cheap tattoo from an apprentice.

AS LONG AS you all understand that, then that's cool and i will tattoo you and that tattoo will go in my portfolio so when i am a full-fledged tattoo artist people will see what kind of work i can do.
steve - 9/21/09, 6:28 pm
but mostly, i do really look forward to the possibility of being everyone's "go to" tattoo artist for the board. :)
steve - 9/27/09, 1:27 pm
ATTN: it's kind of slow in the shop today, if anyone wants to come out and let me practice on them, we can do that.

adam - i don't know....that may or may not be beyond my ability currently. i'll take another look at the drawing.

nic - no....i mean....unless i do a TERRIBLE job tattooing it, i could but some lines in it to make it look like an olde schoole etching of a tomato. heavy line work and then either grey or a simple bit of red and green. it could work.

ride - that skulls kind of detailed. maybe a simplified version of that? and if you could send me a picture of the fixer upper you're talking about, i could let you know if it will be difficult for me or not.

steve - 11/24/09, 4:37 pm
hey, everyone. yes. i am still doing this. the amount of tattoos i need to do before i'm even close to be considered an actual tattoo artist is quite a bit. not even to count the endless amounts of drawing i need to do as well.

here are some happy people thus far....

IMAGE REMOVED - CLICK TO VIEW IMAGE REMOVED - CLICK TO VIEW IMAGE REMOVED - CLICK TO VIEW

so keep PMing me if you'd like something. Just somethings to keep in mind....
- i am only an APPRENTICE. so please keep it small and keep it simple.
- the feet are a bad spot for a beginner to tattoo.
- the ribs are a bad spot for a beginner to tattoo.
- i won't be giving knuckle tattoos. i won't be tattooing any SO names.

If i've talked to about drawing something up, i will hopefully have it done in the next couple of weeks or so. I've been bogged down and will be until after the first week of Dec.

Honestly, i am really lucky to know so many cool people that want interesting and thoughtful tattoos. but i also just need to practice the simple stuff too so don't hesitate if anyone out there wants some script done or a Kanji or a tribal. seriously. i need the practice.

thanks so far, everybody!

not really but i'm not giving whole sleeves or back pieces or or things like that. when i get drawing i tend to do bigger pieces than i probably should, but they all look good....

ideally it should be on the smaller side because i'm hardly able to charge anything on these as an apprentice and i'd like to not make the shop owner nervous by giving away $400 tattoos.

but its not rude to tip you right?
because after you put art on my bod which i will wear forever in happiness i would prob like to buy you a beer or something
steve - 12/15/09, 2:17 pm
people have bought a beer or two for me.
they have taken me to dinner.
they have tipped me.
they have also given me high fives and hugs.

tipping is never mandatory, but it is a very widely accepted way of saying "a job well done".

we also have a dismantled stripper pole in the back of the shop that we joke about people being able to "work off" their tattoos, sometimes.
tombrady617 - 12/15/09, 2:19 pm

Hey guys, thanks for all the support and responses thus far.

it's going great, but what i would like to do right now is really concrete certain steps in the tattoo process so that i can get my self to a higher level of skill and build upon that.

I certainly welcome you all to approach me with tattoo ideas, some i can do, some i can't, but right now i would like book 3-4 consecutive days with back to back appointments and i'm asking that if anyone wants to come in during the next 1 1/2 - 2 weeks AND they want to get something that is 2-3 inches or smaller and EITHER black, outline, or script that would be awesome and help me out a lot in cementing these very basic skills and therefor allowing me to move on to developing the next skill set.

again, if you still have tattoo ideas, you can certainly bring them to me. Just for right now, i want to complete a series of one style of tattoo to get that down pat.

right now, i'm trying to book my appointments between 10am and 6pm tues- thurs.

My interest is peaked. I have a few ideas in mind that would work for what you want to do. One is a black and white circular spiral.

Something akin to this (I have a better piece of artwork from a book), on my chest:

dynne - 2/9/10, 9:51 am
also I might do this if I can figure out a way to get to worcester within those times
steve - 2/9/10, 8:34 pm
bonnie, i might be ready for that, i'll PM you back about it.

ReallyBadReverb, i know that design might seem simple, it is, however, extremely difficult to pull off. it would take many hours to noodle all those lines, get them all tight and straight looking and it would end up being freiking huge. and that is from the standpoint of a seasoned tattoo artist. that is not an appropriate for an apprentice.

ecannon & brv, i was actually thinking i'd like to get you both in here soon cause you've just got script i will also PM you two further.

everyone else, thanks! i'm still doing this and frankly will always be looking for tattoos to do. But at the rate i'm progressing i will eventually have to start charging more. (still at an apprentice rate though) so still feel free to ask, cause i will always need more practice.
dolores - 2/9/10, 10:06 pm
I still have a serious interest in this if you think you are ready to do the one i pm'd you

steve - 3/3/10, 2:07 pm
Hey everyone, i'm still looking for small and simple tattoos to do right now.

i need to focus on and finalize my training on outlining and black fills so if you want to get something small i can get you in here right away.

Like would people be down for it if i just drew up a bunch of "508" and "617" tattoos?
i'd love to get 25 people in and just run through them. That kind of exercise would get me up to speed in NO TIME.
bsullivan - 3/3/10, 2:19 pm
You are doing great work, my friend.

Eventually, I would like the famous "dragon penis."
steve - 3/3/10, 4:37 pm
tops?
xdementia - 3/3/10, 5:18 pm
damn steve those lines are lookin great
apeup - 3/3/10, 5:21 pm
I would be down for some stuff. I have a lot of work on me from people learning. I will let you do whatever you want.
steve - 3/3/10, 5:29 pm
awesome! if you want to do something just PM me so i can set up an appointment and have easily trackable reference to it.
this thread is large and setting stuff up here, things can get lost easy.
