Bad Camera

I really need to learn how to take better pictures. I have always loved photography, and have always dabbled in it as a hobby, but I never really learned how to take good pictures. It would be really nice to know how to, especially for tattooing. Part of the job is being able to showcase your work, and having a portfolio of mediocre (and sometimes just straight up horrible) pictures does not do your work justice. If someone sees a low quality picture they're going to see your work as low quality. That is something I'm really not down with. So, someday down the road, I would like to invest in a very spiffy camera, one that real-people-with-real-photo-knowledge use. I just printed out a bunch of recent pictures for my portfolio, and I'm sure my printer is my camera's partner in crime when it comes to presentation, but I'm just not happy with the photos. But I need to update my work so badly! So, for now, they will have to do, and I will hopefully be able to take better pictures of the work I have already done sometime in the future.

Here is a fun tattoo I did today on a friend of mine. It is a memorial tattoo, not a boyfriend's name, in case you are wondering. The weather has been awful, so I wouldn't be too surprised if some people don't show up for their appointments, which happened today. I don't blame them. I would stay home if I could!
