@Dawn Sanchez travelling & doing conventions is great for getting inspired & building connections. I don't find I make much money from conventions, compared to booking from my studio, but I love getting out & getting more exposure.

Getting a couple of new clients is a good step forward. Referrals are good, but you really can pick up momentum on those numbers if you can advertise your business. Are you able to operate as a legal business from home where you are? I have been coaching an artist who had a home studio, but wasn't signed off by the health board, so she basically had to tattoo in secret, only with friends & their referrals. It felt like a good set up, but she actually couldn't see that it was holding her back. She just took a portfolio of her work & started working from an established studio & she is really busy now. Getting lots of practice & really building that momentum of new clients & referrals on a much bigger scale. I think her goal will to be to go back to working half of her time back in her studio once it is legal.
Welcoming New Members!!!
Welcome to all the new members! It's great to see artists joining us from all different stages of their tattoo journeys. I'm putting together a learning roadmap that will support everyone from beginners through to more established artists. Over time, I'll be adding courses to the Classroom for each stage, but I'd like those courses to grow from the conversations we have here first. For now, I'd love you to: • Share your artwork or tattoos. • Ask questions. • Jump into other members' posts and offer feedback or support. Let's get some great conversations going and build a community where we all learn from each other. If you're new, after you've posted your introduction, check out the first course in the Classroom section. It'll help you navigate the app and show you how to get the most out of the community. https://www.skool.com/tattoo-super-powers-7643/classroom/edc36c0f

This Might Be Slowing Your Tattoo Growth
One of the biggest things that slows artists down isn't a lack of information... It's having too much of it. There's nothing wrong with learning from different people - I still do it myself. But there's a point where every new opinion pulls you in a different direction. One person tells you to specialize. Another says tattoo everything. One says post every day. Another says only post when it's perfect. Before long, you're consuming more than you're creating. Growth doesn't come from collecting advice. It comes from choosing a direction, applying what you learn, and sticking with it long enough to see results. If you're going to be here, go all in. Show up regularly. Share your tattoos. Tell us what you're struggling with. Ask questions. Try the ideas. Report back with what happened. That's how real progress happens. You don't need ten different roadmaps. You just need one path that you commit to following. Question: How many tattoo communities, courses, or mentors are you actively learning from right now? Do you think it's helping your progress, or making it harder to stay focused?

@Dawn Sanchez you can gain a lot more by focusing on one space Dawn. I joined a couple myself when I first found skool & its impossible to keep up with multiple groups. I like to have one mentor for each area of my business. I've had a business coach, a high end tattoo mentor & taken marketing courses. And I like to focus on one main resource for each. Question - When you say you'd like to do sleeves, what's currently holding you back? Designing the piece, finding the client, or the tattoo process?

@Dawn Sanchez ok then we have work ahead, but really we all do! We just need to go one step at a time. Next question is - Why do you want to jump into sleeves? Sleeves are big projects that need a lot of care & attention. Much more difficult to design than stand alone tattoos. And they can be impressive, but only when done well. Do you have a reason that's moving you in that direction?

Nice work Matt. The more time you put in with your machine, the more comfortable you'll feel & more confident you'll be tattooing. These drills are great for practice. Try doing some longer lines, as they'll mean you need to work on controlling your arm movement as well. Great to see you practicing, keep sharing those results!
Marvel Sleeve - Progress!
I just had my client Wil travel to the studio for another 2 consecutive days, working on his Marvel sleeve. Very excited to add Daredevil & fill in some background on the outer section - I love seeing these projects come together! I filmed a little of the shading/colour blending on his mask, to answer this weeks question from @Matt Standafer, about how to blend from black to colour. I’ll post that this week. If you guys have any questions let me know & I’ll film short videos to help you. These videos will later be parts of full courses for you to dive into. ✌️
