I just want you tattoo artist to check out this scam ths guy Steve is running on the big island. He is using Jack Rudy's name like a credit card. I wonder if Jack knows he is the tool for Steve to get students! tattooschool.org http://kona-tan.com.hosting.domaindirect.com/hstba/index.htm Spread the word!
Wow. I see that you can take his "tattoo" class...online. Amazing.
You may learn in a tattoo class on line the same thing that you will learn with a book from Spaulding and Rogers Tattooing A To Z and you will save the $400.00 fee that the class will cost you. I hate to speak against another man way to feed his family but nothing beats a good apprentice ship training in a respectable tattoo studio, I don't know if you want to take that class on line but before you go out there investing that amount of money check your local tattoo studio with your portfolio on hand and ask him what he thinks about the classes on line but don't tell him how much it cost and ask him if he would like to have a extra pair of hand that will help him or her around the shop for exchange for a oportunity of being his or hers apprentice. Think about it and Good luck. My oppinion is not gospel but please add that topic here in a form of a question and check out the feed back that you will get from the others artist in the industry.
my post was a joke Chino. Hahaha. www.tattooartists.org/kuleighpaulsmith
Good one you had me going there shit I was under the impresion that there was a person about to get taken for his money since there are some people given this services but you and I know that it will be a waist of money. Imagine a client ask you where you did your apprentenship and you tell them over the internet shit I will run so fast out of that shop that I think I will forget my car Ha ha ha Good one you got me man. Take care.
haha. yeah, can you imagine? Online tattooing? I also wonder if Mr. Rudy knows that this "artist" is using his name to make himself more reputable? Who knows, maybe theyr'e best friends? ...but I doubt it.
WOW. It reminds me of a *tattooer* in Texas that claimed to be "World Famous." After all the bad tats and junky, blurry, sticky, pics in his portfolio... In the back he had "world famous" written under a photograph of himself, with his arm around Guy Aitchson. It was scribbled in fuzzy sharpie letters, no less. This is decidely worse. If there ever was a time for a guy to get "old-school," I think this would justify it. And LOOK! That fifteen year old seminar picture of Mr. Rudy makes it so official! -Joe
