The level of hate that I get for simply posting tattoo flash and designs that I’ve created in the style of realism, astounds me
I don’t know when the disconnect happened, but tattooers have always posted tattoo flash and tattoos designs that they’ve created.
Now it seems people only wanna see actual tattoos you’ve done. which on one level I get you wanna see someones skill and that makes total sense to me, but to attack me and my colleagues and to be super negative and degrading it’s crazy. all because you’ve seen a tattooer post photography or digital designs that they have created and would like to tattoo.
When all you had to do was go and find actual work the tattooer has done.
Instead people say things like:
You’re posting this because you can’t actually tattoo
Show us your actual work not designs anyone can post.
Thats some decent flash. Let’s see your actual work tho
the one I got today: $300 for a tattoo that he’s gonna f**k up. this guy posts these photos prolly cause he can’t tattoo. Show us your actual tattoos.
Where is the actual tattoos these are just photos. Bet you can’t even tattoo them .
You’re only showing us these because you can’t do this in the skin.
These aren’t tattoos these are just photos.
People are really out here trying to cause problems with business and treat people like s**t.
I really hate social media!
You don’t understand we have to make certain content that gets in front of your eyes. We have to have certain strategies to support the algo or we don’t get traction.
It’s starting to get to the point I don’t want notoriety or to be out and about. People are just real pieces of s**t.
People say have a tough skin. Just ignore.. block them, or your in your feelings..
I always wondered why tattooers were dicks. Rude and complacent. I always tried to not be negative. But if I’d create a tough skin no one would want anything to do with me. You just can win.
