Tattoo Work in Manchester
What I have been up to lately
I can only be grateful to be back in Manchester. I’m loving working at Odin’s Eye Tattoo, it’s the studio I needed to be in. When you work with Tattoo Artist’s who have been tattooing just as long as you, in my case 18 years, it feels like everyone is in the same level with the way we see tattooing. I have worked with artist’s, who have been only tattooing for a few years, and the work ethic and philosophy is different. So it is important to surround yourself with artists who believe in what you believe, so you can grow together.
In this post, I would like to share what I have been up to lately. I would like to share this back Tattoo I worked on a female client, the image is from a video-game character. It was a tattoo full of line work, so I had to really take my time on it. When I line a tattoo, I see it like sculpting the line, so a lot of patience is required, my client was so chilled and patient so that made me feel comfortable.
After the first session was done, her back was quiet sore, as expected, so I was sure to book a second touch up session, to be able to see the lines healed, and have the opportunity to touch up, or refill some of the lines, and make sure everything was as best as it could be.
So that video is after the second session was done and healed. I really appreciate having patient clients who allows me to take my time, and go back to the tattoo, I treat a tattoo like a painting, where I go back to it, and push and pull what needs to be adjusted. And seeing the Tattoo healed, it really allows me to see the peace in a different perspective, and that allows me to give more to the client.
The second tattoo in the video, is a football badge, from Tottenham Hotspur FC, they have recently won a trophy after so long. I do like Tottenham Spur, My client got tattooed by me last year, when I still had my tattoo studio in Whitefield, Manchester. He had tattooed his kid name on him, and mentioned about the Tottenham badge tattoo. He messaged me a few weeks after they won the title, saying that now was the right time to get it done, I believe that, when you want a tattoo, or when you are considering getting tattooed, you will know when the right time comes.
That’s why when I get a client just coming in to the studio unsure about what they want, it is a bit hard work as they don’t have any ideas, but if you are patient, and treat them right, even start talking to them, it allows them to talk about themselves therefore you start getting ideas for their Tattoo. So even knowing the client mite come in the studio with no idea about what they want, just for the fact that they came in the studio, and felt that you cared about what you do, and treat them right, they will be back to see you, when the time is right.
