I’m in agreement with the other two reviewers here, but I thought I would elaborate a little more as to why I think “500 Tattoo Designs” isn’t very good, rather than just saying it isn’t. To begin with, the book is filled with very simple line drawings, some colored, some not, that are so rudimentary they actually remind me of the pictures in a child’s coloring book. The desings are divided up along world cultural areas or groups: Japan, Celtic, Native American, and so on, but there is no explanation offered for any of the meanings of the designs and no real cultural context given besides the area or group of origin. Most of the designs *are* appealing, if simple, but if one were about to have a tattoo permanently inked upon one’s body, I should think that one would certainly want to know not just the meaning of the chosen design but also a bit more about where it originated and who it was conceived for in the first place. I imagine one would hardly want a fertility symbol or religious tattoo if one had no interest in such things to begin with, hence my complaint of no information about the designs.
I believe this book would be better suited to a graphic artist, or maybe even a DIY-er with an upcoming major stencilling project and no ideas, as I feel that many of these designs would make excellent stencils if they were enlarged.
This books looks sleek, if you judge it by its cover, but that is the only “slightly” interesting tattoo in the whole thing. The Book looks like the author simply took Microsoft Word Fonts such as Wingding and others with symbols, and pasted them onto his pages. Its all a load of crap, not worth the paper its printed on. A HUGE disappointment.
Seriously, what is on the cover is no where close to the crap inside. Please save your money. When I read the other reviews I thought, it can’t be that bad. Actually, it turned out worse than what was said. Just like everyone says, it definitely looks exactly like a coloring book. You can actually get better ideas from coloring books. There is no creativity in these designs. They are all boring and very basic.

toatlly hot i m about to get my nails done after my basketball games which is this month thank god i think im getting an idea of what i want lol
You will have to figure out what works best for you and your mentor. My apprentice switched up her hours so she could spend Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at the studio. Steve's apprentice starts at 5 pm every day and all day Saturday. I think most reputable studios understand that people need to live, for goodness sakes.
And yes, a good tattoo artist can make a very good living. It is all about building a client base. Good artists make good money, mediocre artists make mediocre money….
depending on da color u like of ur choice, u can kinda pick something around dat. but then again it is for ur room…and colors are tricky, cuz colors can affect ur mood or ur environment unconsciously. which means, no bright red or pink or yellow or orange…i doubt u'd ever feel rested or sleep. no black of course lol. lavender is calm buh might be too calming. white is fine but too plain. i'd go wid a pastal green…or pastal orange or pastal yellow is fine..umm…peach kinda color. somethin settled..pick somethin u like, but keep dat in mind about the colors and how it'll effect you're mood. lol u dont wanna come home to somethin u can't get use to
for a start you should get a 360 page and put a link to your website so people on here can view it.
Start small and go visit owners of small boutiques and try and get them to stock your stuff for a small fee(to them of course!), also why not get a regular market stall in a big town and get some flyers printed to distribute to everyone you see.
Why not look into the possibility of hosting a jewellery party? A bit like anne summers but with your jewellery- give the host a prize for having the party at her house- mothers groups, playgroups, village fetes and carnivals!! oooh where to start lol.
All the best.
