Have you seen an artist’s work and want them to design a tattoo for you?

If you are into tattooing, as you search across the Internet, you are bound to come across artworks and artist’s that could make a good tattoo. And you probably have begun to regularly check out particular artists the focus on tattoo designs. Don’t be shy, if you like their work and want a tattoo design from a favored artist, send them an e-mail.

Here is a recent request, that Tiggy the tattoo art creator, recently received…

Hi Tiggy, i recently found out about you on tumblr, and i think your art is absolutely incredible. i was just wondering how much it would cost for a tattoo done by you, like what the minimum would be. And this may seem like a dumb question but have you ever tattooed a black person, because i was wondering would the ink show up on my skin and about maintenance and stuff. Anyways just curious. Hopefully, i have enough money to have you give me a awesome tattoo soon. xx Thanks.

Hey there lovely!

It’s better to email me your questions, tiggytattoos@icloud.com 🙂

However, if you think about tattooing in a similar way to drawing on paper with pencil crayons, imagine how the colours show up on dark paper compared to light paper. It’s totally the same deal when it comes to skin 🙂

I guess it depends on how dark your skin tone is really. Black ink would show up fine, but there wouldn’t be as much contrast between the ink and the skin, if that makes sense?

As another example –
I’m very pale but my skin as a slight olive tone to it. I’ve noticed that my tattoos I have, the blues come up a little more green because they mix with the slight yellowish colour of my skin!

So anyway! If you would like something done, we can discuss your ideas and prices based on that via my email 🙂

Hope I’ve helped xx

Remember, tattoo artists work for a living. Many of them will be happy to provide a tattoo design for you at a fair price… Just ask!

A Career As A Cartoonist

by dcmaster

A cartoonist is an artist, who specializes in cartooning. The job of a cartoonist is to create comic characters and objects to put into books, manga, anime, and editorial cartoons. They participate in comic strip creation as well as animated movies. A cartoonist has a talent for sketching, caricaturing or making replica images. They love to draw, roughly in pencil first, then in ink and colors. They can put their thought on a paper at any point of time. Cartoonists work for print media, electronics and web media.

Now, to get an actual job, as a cartoonist, you’re going to need to do several things. It helps, if you’ve ever had your work published before. It doesn’t have to be anything too special, in fact it can be something as simple as a community newsletter or church newspaper. Just having this type of work will upgrade your status in the eyes of the newspaper editor and make it seem like you know what you’re doing.

It also helps to put together a portfolio.

Gather a collection of your best work in a nicely laid out binder. Bring this to an interview with a newspaper editor or wherever you applying for a cartoonist job. You’re trying to show off your very best work here, so put your highest quality material up front.

As you prepare your portfolio for your cartoonist career, write and illustrate the things that you think about and observe. Especially those things that make you laugh. And the things that make you cry. Or that make you angry. Consider your sketchbook a sort of brain dump where you unload everything you’re thinking about. It doesn’t always have to be funny at this point – that can come later in Cartoon Brainstorming sessions. The things you record don’t even have to make sense to anyone, but you (and they don’t even have to make sense to you!). They are just going to be there, waiting to spark an idea when you go back through your work.

And be sure to date the pages occasionally. That makes it nice when you go back through them over the years and can pinpoint the day when you were thinking this and that.

The start-up cost is extremely minimal. Chances are you can launch your career with stuff you already have in your house, or can easily steal from the office (just kidding). You’ll need some drawing paper and a pen. Add some large manila envelopes for mailing in submissions and a few bucks for postage, and that’s really all the investment you absolutely have to make.

If you really want to splurge, you could buy some pencils for doing up roughs, and maybe some page-sized cardboard inserts to help prevent your submission packages from getting bent up in the mail, but those luxuries should be considered optional.
