Best Tattoos in Bury

Best Tattoos in Bury

In this blog I would like to focus in the best tattoos I have been doing since I have been back in Bury, Greater Manchester. Working back in a public studio is surreal, its like going back to the beginning of my career, and working dealing with walk in requests. I feel like I’m more prepared to be in a public studio, after I have been tattooing for 19, nearly 20 years. You have to make quick decisions, working in a public studio, and being able to deal with last minute requests. I do enjoy the social side of it, you do end up meeting a lot of interesting people, and getting some really good tattoo requests.

The best feeling you can have is when the client comes in and understands what you do as an artist. And their request, it gives me the opportunity to put what I have been learning in drawing to the Tattoo. When I see a good opportunity in a Tattoo request, I plan the Tattoo as much as I can, planning is key to achieve the best tattoo possible I’m about to do. The more you plan a tattoo the better the outcome.

One example of that is a drawing a did on Ruth’s shoulder, I drew it over and over again, until I was fully satisfied with it, and the end result was, I booked a consultation for her to view the art work, and she was happy with it straight way. As I drew the tattoo over and over again, when it came to Tattoo it, it felt like I was in a natural flow, as the repetition of the drawing, contributed to the flow of the Tattoo.

Doing a Tattoo is like any other things you do in life, there is a flow, and the more you get immersed in that flow, the better the outcome of the tattoo. So a client who doubts their tattoo artist is most likely to get them out of the flow. Make sure to ask your questions before the Tattoo starts, and when you start getting tattooed, allow your artist to get in a flow, as the only person who is going to benefit from that flow is you, the client. Trust the process and allow your Tattoo Artist to express them selves in your skin, and in order to do that, study their work before you approach them, only get tattooed by someone if you are a fan of their work.

So in order to achieve the best tattoos in Bury Greater Manchester, there’s a lot of dedication and planning involved. I have recently bought a sketchbook to only focus, study and draw textures, I really want to upgrade my texture understanding, as when I do textures, I have to look at a reference, I want to create textures straight from my mind, so it comes out more natural. I learned that textures comes from a inward creativity that can not be copied, I learned that by studying Victor Portugal’s work, his texture work is amazing, and I wanted to learn more about it, so I started drawing in a sketch book trying to understand his textures, and that’s when I realised that, his textures were impossible to learn as it came from within him. So in order to deliver the best textures when I approach a Tattoo, is to study, practise, and allow that my intuition will create my style of textures.

Dedication is the only thing that will separate you from other artists, dedication is the only thing that will separate you from others in any walk of life, whatever you do, or whatever you are willing to achieve.

So, Thanks for reading my blog, if you lasted until the end, and enjoy the best Tattoos I have done in Greater Manchester so far, Thank you.
