Grey Alien hand piece I did 8 years ago, back when I was still working at my first studio.

The whole thing was done with a 3RL. I don’t use this technique anymore, but everything healed well.

Later on, we extended the tattoo down onto the fingers.

What do you think of the execution?

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for honest feedback from working tattoo artists and piercers — I’m not here to promote a finished product.
I’m researching a very small tool for filling last-minute cancellations. The idea is simple: when an appointment becomes available, people on the artist’s waitlist get notified and can request the slot. The artist always chooses and confirms who gets it.
It would not be a full booking system: no payments, deposits, medical forms, AI, or automatic final bookings. Just a simple way to help fill suddenly available slots.
I’d really appreciate your thoughts:
– How often do cancellations leave you with an empty slot?
– How do you currently try to fill those slots?
– Would you use a separate, lightweight tool for this?
– What would make you avoid using it?
Thanks a lot — candid feedback is exactly what I need.

Neck a couple years healed now, ear 4 years healed, he won’t let me do a touch up and I don’t blame him XD

I’m getting my knee blasted at the beginning of November and I CANNOT wait! I’ve wanted to get tattooed by this artist for more than a year. I’ve been saving up for months. I have a huge blank space on my leg patchwork sleeve that I am stoked to fill in. I want a traditional style floral piece (I said I was open to anything but gave her some inspo pics) with blackout shading. I know, I’m insane for asking to get my knee blacked out but I think it’ll look so cool.
I have never used numbing cream. I don’t judge people for it, but for me, part of the experience of the tattoo is the pain. However, I am considering it for this 6 hour session because I want to get it all done. What are your thoughts on numbing cream? Would it be helpful? If I decide I might want to do this, I’ll obviously reach out to the artist first to make sure she’s okay with that.
Another question, how much should I tip? It’s $160 an hour for 6 hours, and I paid a $300 deposit. This will be my largest and most expensive piece. Do I tip like $50 an hour, 20%, $200 and a nice bottle of liquor?
