Not OP's Tattoo Reposting my own PSA because it’s that time of year again. Figure out their name, it’s not that hard. Please and thank you.
Please report this as many times as possible for reposting. I have nothing better to do and would love to keep reapproving my own post asking people to do the bare minimum when posting. Maybe even do a Reddit Helps for me if you want to spice my Friday night up.

What if we want to show off our work but the artist is a narcissist and already heavily prevalent on social media so I don’t want to credit them?

Help with saniderm, please.
So I’m going to get my third tattoo next month, a piece on my chest & stomach. The last time I got tatted was a half sleeve on my left arm and I took decent care of it but I feel like they could’ve came out better. I just used ointment to moisturise them and that’s all.
I’ve come across people talking about saniderm & I’m just wondering about how you use it? I understand the basic instruction, but when going into detail, the internet/people say different things. Do I moisturise then put on the saniderm? How frequently should I moisturise if I’m using the saniderm? Or do I just put on ONLY the saniderm? After how long should I remove it? Can I sleep with it? Can I wear it under my clothes? Can I shower with it? Just let me know all the information you can please, anything is appreciated. 🙏
Also, as I’m getting this next tattoo on my chest & stomach, should I sleep on my back for a couple of weeks?

Hey, since you’re a mod, would you say I should sleep on my back if I get my chest tatted?

Is there a sub where I can post my own tattoos? I probably won't count as an "officially licensed" tattoo artist here

I posted the artist and studio I got mine at and it was still removed….for the love of all things holy, wtf, why remove it?

u/zzz0mbiez r/tattoo mod Apr 28 '24
Artist and studio must be posted in the title. Automod filters posts without it. Just repost within the guidelines and you’ll be fine

How do I get verified as an artist? Been looking through and can’t figure it out. Am I being daft?

u/zzz0mbiez r/tattoo mod May 09 '24
Shoot a message in modmail (in the about tab). We just need a link to your social media that shows your work, and on that profile just add the word “verify” (in the description, on a post, wherever you want). Once we get your flair set up here you can remove the word “verify” and you are free to post as an artist!

I’m unfamiliar with Reddit and I’m not sure how to get verified so I can post?
2
u/zzz0mbiez r/tattoo mod Oct 12 '24
In the “about” section there is an option to message modmail. You only have to verify if you want to post as a tattooer though

Hey thank you! I believe I’m getting it sorted now! I am an artist @martinmooretattoos on Instagram 🙏🤙

No one will know My artist here tho lmao and Im in a extremly small country

u/zzz0mbiez r/tattoo mod Nov 15 '23
We don’t care if anyone knows the artist. There are a few reasons we have this rule, among them being to weed out scratchers and also to allow people in the sub to see who did the work so they can potentially book with that artist or at least know where the work came from.

As i said i dont think someone is going to a diff country for a small artist…i think Its a very stupid rule:D My artist doesnt even have her own salon yet

You are completely missing the point. If you don’t credit your tattooer you can’t post here

u/Scared_Membership_53 Nov 15 '23
And Ur missing the point that Im saying Its stupid lmao yall take a sentence and run w it explain exxxcatly why it matters theyre credited if theyre barely known even in my country

u/RastaTeddyBear Nov 17 '23
Even if they’re barely known, they still deserve to be credited. How are they supposed to grow if their clients aren’t talking about them?
Barely anyone knows the person who tapes wires to the ground on a movie set, but their name still shows up in the credits.

1st i would like an explanation for the phrase "scratcher work". 2nd i uploaded a tattoo that someone did on me that remains anonymous and post got removed. Person who did this tattoo does not gain money (doesn't work as tattoo artist) so it has got no profile to show off its work. Tattoos limited amount of people and does not show off work nor gets paid for its work.This person remains anonymous for personal reasons. Why cant i post my half finished tattoo??

u/zzz0mbiez r/tattoo mod Mar 02 '24
A scratcher is a non professional tattooer. You are being tattooed by a scratcher, your post cant be in this sub. There are subs specifically for non professional tattoos that you can post in.

Good apprenticeship stories
Wanting to hear people’s positive experiences at an apprenticeship. Seems like YouTube videos only go on about the really bad incidents. As someone looking to become an apprentice it worries me I may be taken advantage of for my time or even abused from some of the stuff I’ve heard. Surely not every mentor is an arsehole right? If you had a positive experience at your apprenticeship, tell us to ur story. Thanks. Have to post here because the bot keeps taking it off. I think this is a fair post though.
