Product Description

The Tattoo Journal is a book designed for the pre tattooing phase, the phase before we begin our tattoo apprenticeship. The Tattoo Journal is perfect for those whom are looking to develop their tattooing fundamentals wherever they go. The Tattoo Journal allows the user to practice pulling lines which is an essential element when it comes to tattooing.

The Tattoo Journal is not designed to teach us how to tattoo directly. The Tattoo Journal is designed to allow you as the upcoming tattoo artist to be able to practice on the go, at any moments notice, for as long as you need, while developing essential skillsets that a successful tattoo artist requires.

The idea behind different opacities is to mimic fainter tattoo stencils. I feel it is great exercise the use of fainter lines. Practice trying to make it from point A to B using the various opacities to see how you do.

The idea is to not develop our tattooing skills from The Tattoo Journal. The idea for The Tattoo Journal is to help you as the up and coming tattoo artist problem solve your way to accomplish the cleanest lines you can create. We are beginning to foundate our fundamentals and establish muscle memory, so at this stage in our tattooing journey paper and a pen or pencil will be just fine.

The Tattoo Journal Volume 2 Advanced Lining Exercises is a great resource anyone can use to practice, develop, even experiment on the go, anytime and anyplace.

If you are just starting out The Tattoo Journal series can help develop some crucial key fundamentals that we can take with us into our tattooing careers. From posture, holding style, hand speed & voltage, comfortability and more!

These are some key elements we use when tattooing so starting with acknowledging the fundamentals allows us to focus in on the fundamentals leading to an overall better tattooing workflow while producing better tattooing results.

The Tattoo Journal Volume 1 was a series of basic lining exercises that ranged from right to left, left to right, up and down, down and up, and some angles.

The Tattoo Journal Volume 2 is tailored more to advanced lining exercises that will push the envelope, step outside of our comfort zones to get from our point A to point B as clean as we can.

Within The Tattoo Journal Volume 2 Advanced Lining Exercises you will be greeted with a variety of fainted dotted & dashed shapes and designs.

These designs range from hearts, circles, lines in all directions, lines with loops, lines with curves, lines with overlapping lines.

The idea is to be able to develop & test our abilities on the go, on the fly, anytime, anyplace! All we need is The Tattoo Journal series, a pen or pencil and the desire to want to be better.

You will also be greeted with short stories, tips, tricks, educational tattoo notes on each page to help keep you inspired and motivated, while learning about different aspects of tattooing as you are developing your lining abilities.

Feel free to use a pencil for warm ups as we can make lighter lines and switch over to a ball point pen when you are ready to commit to your lines.

We can even take The Tattoo Journals lining experience to the next level by using a ballpoint pen cartridge and a tattoo machine so we can get that tattooing feel as we practice.

The Tattoo Journal workbook series allows us to pay the dues, experience our mistakes, see our mistakes first hand so we can get better each and every time we practice without ever having to damage human skin or our reputation. It is a healthier approach to put in the work, learn the fundamentals and practice, practice, practice, and more practice.

The Tattoo Journal V3 is the 3rd volume of The Tattoo Journal workbook series.

In The Tattoo Journal V1 we practiced basic lining exercises ranging from left to right, right to left, up & down, down & up and a bit more.

In The Tattoo Journal V2 Advanced Lining Exercises we will be stepping out of the comfort zone and pushing the envelopes.

In The Tattoo Journal V3 we will be doing full designs that will require accurate line work, shading, and or dot work. We can combine what we have learned from V1 & V2 and implement our learnings to accomplish the best results we can achieve.

In The Tattoo Journal V3 there will be loads of challenges from full blown designs that contain angled lines, crossing lines, straight lines, shapes, curves, turns and more! Don’t forget to use your learnings and findings from V1 and V2. I kept the same dotted line format from V1 & V2 but now we have pushed the envelope and are creating designs with the lines & elements.

The Tattoo Journal series is great to practice anytime, anywhere you’d want! Simply pull out a volume of The Tattoo Journal along with your pen or pencil and you’re now practice ready.

The Tattoo Journals can be great to help us establish some key fundamentals that we can take with us into tattooing such as discipline, postures, hand speed & voltage, hand control, different pressures, and more!

The Tattoo Journal V3 is also great to help us as the artist develop a sense of good artistic choice making while we complete the designs. Some designs we can choose to line or shade with no lines, while other designs will require us to exercise our shading techniques and shading placements.
