my FIRST WEEK as a TATTOO APPRENTICE in NYC **nerve-wracking*

[@_Lorraine_Olivarez_]

As a licensed tattoo artist I can definitely say practice makes perfect and so does a fire tattooing/work playlist. If you’re a naturally fidgety person then I recommend music that calms you down, while still keeping the productive vibes flowing. The faster the music the more you’ll want to move around and perhaps rush the tattooing process. Keep pushing man!!!💙

[@andreyantipov751]

Hey dude, what government agency issued your license? It seems you have been deceived if you were trained in some tattoo studio, this is not a license. don't embarrass yourself

[@_Lorraine_Olivarez_]

I received my apprenticeship certification from Tattooing101, I then proceeded to get my state issued license for the state of Texas so I was legally able to open my own business. The only thing that is embarrassing is you attempting to hate on people that you know nothing about. Have the day you deserve because I’m sure it’s not a nice one.

[@andreyantipov751]

no aggression man, just a little fun, by the way, it’s a pity that creativity and art are all about business for you, I won’t wish you the same thing as you, success to you, creative development and good luck, and of course good luck in business

[@komaruplayz]

@@andreyantipov751sorry but when did they say creativity is all about business? Everyone has to make a living somehow, so they did so doing what they enjoy.

[@justinsmet]

As a person who is adhd I can agree music helps while tattooing. I only tattoo myself and practice skin but at the moment, I'm biulding my portfolio to show to artist I know and see from their perspective and maybe one day get my start.

[@MaybeLily1234]

Aww your girlfriend is your mentor?! That’s so sweet, I knew I recognised her from the other video. Great job with your first try tattooing 😊

[@navyarangu6916]

when a nursing student does everything

[@Hwaniiee]

Love this 😂❤

[@WompWOmpYAEY]

I love the fact that no one has commented/replied HWANIIEE on the comment

[@jaimeaguilera6212]

And talk with every girl with his with

[@victorwfz]

No cap. A couple of months ago, he was working on a coffee store, now he's working as a tattoo apprentice 🤡

[@victorwfz]

​@@jaimeaguilera6212 fact!

[@karmilavaiphei3670]

Your smile is everything 😭❤️ Literally one of the best smiles which can make someone's day.🥺❤️

[@serena_bee]

Shocker… yass 🌟 Future dermatologist nurse who’s about to learn more about the layers of the skin through tattoo apprenticeship.. ooooo

[@Hwaniiee]

YESSS SHE KNOWS ITTTTT❤❤❤

[@ishikasharma-ll3fo]

It's so fun to watch you doing so many things at a time btw loved today's blog ❤

[@Hwaniiee]

Yay! Thank you!❤️❤️

[@aracelidorsey5845]

I love you!❤️ so genius. With all those hours studying being a nurse but u found time to be a tattoo artist? What else that u can’t do? Amazing guy.

[@Hwaniiee]

Ofc If I’m interested I make the time!

[@Irishgip1]

New fan sir and new at tattooing as well. Been doing only a year but love watching other rookies. Keep up the great work and much respect.

[@mariarincon4559]

Love your smiles of proud of your self and your mentor keep you motivated and positive time. So you can keep going on tattoo and not giving up.

[@morganirbs2523]

Dude you are inspiring! I found this video randomly (just got a tattoo and wanted to just watch some videos), but I am in a similar boat as you. Just constantly fascinated by things very technical. Im a music major thats a barista, but also want to learn tattooing some day and nail art!

[@gemmymartin]

This is fire! Definitely exposed me to a different experience in a tattoo shop. Big ups bro, good luck!

[@shellynguyen3026]

My mentor asked me to do a lot of straight lines and circles on fake skin first to improve my line stability. Then practice design later. You can do it ✌️☺️👍

[@davids970]

I have been tattooing for 8 years and it seems like you have better depth control than I do, keep it up

[@panicporcupine0]

Bruh I hope your not a actual tattoo artist

[@garydouglass9577]

She is absolutely stunning and a great mentor. I’d be shaking around her 😊😂

[@monoxide13]

Doing all that in your first week is wild

[@paxet.]

i remember seeing you when this first came out and its still so cool !! good job man

[@bees.3140]

I see more left handers in this industry then right we work of a different part of our artistic side of our brain 🧠

[@mayoyay]

wake up babe hwanie just posted!!

[@serena_bee]

😱 I’m woked

[@montihaus6246]

Good luck! I wish you all the best.

[@ChrisBtw]

I got my first tattoos done 2 weeks ago, im booked back in in 2 days with the same apprentice and hopefully together i can have a whole patchwork right arm

[@beentheredonethat5908]

I REALLY hope you don't do that! Save some money and do the whole area at once. Patch work art awkays end up needing to be covered up, jot die to bad work, but because you figure out what you really wpuld like to have and gain an idea. If it fiesmt get covered it becomes wasted space. Please please don't get anymore like that. The days where a small tattoo is a end is over. Think about how dope getting a solid piece shoulder to elbow , and often it's cheaper, plus looks way better.

[@sr5bro126]

Better every day man! Keep the motivation up!!

[@CatDuckChu]

are we gonna gte anymore of the tattoo stuff because this was really chill to watch

[@nightskyyo]

I want to be a tattoo artist too! would definitely like to see the process of your apprentice

[@hashirajayy3607]

Bro keep doing the tattoo videos this is dope

[@NethmiKasthurirathna]

7.26 - me thinking this audio sounds familiar .remembered i'm michelle's fan too!❤

[@viincreations]

Tattooing on the first day? That’s wild… I heard usually you have to draw a Bunch before they let u touch the machines

[@shambhavi1357]

just really good to see your smiles :)) All the best for everything 💪🏻🫂❤️🍀🪄

[@Ronit0.7]

Hi I'm a very big fan of yours... Your vlogs are just so comfy and inspiring for a male nurse ❤... I'm starting my nursing school soon and even though I'm from India, i request you to make a video on the basic/important things that i or any other aspiring male nurse should know before starting the nursing school as it would be a great help for us... Thank you hope this message reaches to you lots of love 💕✨

[@terrancepreap518]

[@Lovemiffyz]

[@Dee.SixNine]

I’m a charcoal portrait artist inspired by your vid to take up tattooing 😎

[@filipracic8402]

You got that in your arm bro!! Nice job up to now! PS: try to avoid brushing your stencil and wait some time before you start to tattoo

[@alejandromarquez9368]

Love your video

[@Thepearlescentdakini]

It’s comforting to see your progress

[@spaceyofficial.0127]

[@youyouccr3696]

I love you so much ❤❤ You're my safe place 😘😘

[@Elle-wl1nn]

I just found my spirit animal

[@Antrosstattoo]

Touching your camera with the same gloves you were tattooing yourself with, learn from this mistake,use a clean hand dirty hand technique, ask your mentor about this and other hygiene practices,i had to learn all this before i even touched a machine/workstation,not to mention immunization jabs

[@KIPHC]

whats your background before this? were u drawing etc? can u tell us, teach us more about it?

[@nobletruthshealingandascen183]

Good job! do you practices at home also?

[@ariestanirvana5207]

Dude your mentor so positive, not like my mentor he’s so toxic, always told me to quit became tattoo artist 😢😢

[@jamesbond3125]

thats his gf. this isnt an apprenticeship. its utube content lol. i dont think any tattoo apprenticeship is going to go this way

[@thatsavykid.5892]

nah mans doing side quests and getting max xp bc how in the universe

[@angieg9105]

thats a lot of Vaseline 😂😂

[@jamesbond3125]

i feel gaslit coz thats his girlfriend but hes one of the fruitiest personalities ive ever seen 😂

[@Solsticelash]

its important to practice straight lines first. so you can learn steadiness, depth and tapering in and out of the skin

[@micperez819]

Congrats on the apprenticeship. What kind of hairstyle do you have? What is it called?

[@evacristy9418]

Great job! Does someone know the name of the song please?

[@e.j.b.3715]

Is the mentor not his gf? i'm so confused. had to stop cause i felt gaslit

[@noahkarlsengore4414]

[@saddybarr4551]

I wan to visit that studio

[@rumaragasang.ecnalubma]

I NEED THE TITLE OF THE SONG! I FORGOT WHAT IT WAS T^T

[@mmmfun77]

Um...is this guy a high powered genius? I'm a dentist. I know how demanding the education is to be a nurse. He also works. Now he is going to add apprenticing at a tattoo shop? Apprenticing at a shop , for many, is grueling. It could take years. I don't get it

[@YoungReynoso]

Fr 😂😂

[@godlywomanph]
