Local Dipstikk to become Tattoo designer- more at 11.
 
So I was at the mall last Saturday, and a guy walks up to me and sees me drawing. Well, he compliments me, gives me his card, and offers me a chance to make money drawing up designs for tattoos.

That's right, I'm going to get a job as a Tattoo designer. All I have to do is come up with a few samples, go through the copywrite shit, and I'm in. Then I only have to design more, and I can make ph@t l3wt without even leaving home.

Now, by "ph@t l3wt," I'm talking tens of thousands of dollars a month. I'll be able to pay my way through college!

Best thing that's ever happened to me.

Wow, I wish I had your talents. That is great Dippy! I am glad you foubnd a way to make money for college withoput having to work in some scummy restaurant. It sounds enjoyably too. :bow:

Wow! That's impressive! Doing yer Actra designs and showin' them off to some people might interest them! I wouldn't want to put my designs on people's skin...Bleg. Not at all, especially if they're old and wrinkly...:shudders:
Well, congrats, Dipstikk! And may the moolah roll on in fer you! :fuzgrin:

Dude! Congratulations!

Who knows... maybe you'll want to make a career out of it.

Dipstikk 09-21-2005 01:36 PM

Nah, my dream is to become a freelance comic artist. This is just a push foreward.

One that'll most likely make me a thousandaire!

...You know, unless this is al scam. Woah, not a good vibe just now...

LoboDiabloLoneWolf 09-21-2005 01:40 PM

Well if it is genuine then you definitly deserve it. :D Gettin' money from doin' what you like. Now that's a bonus. :D

Holy shit, dude! I knew about the tatooisms, but tens of thousands of dollars a month? That's unbelievable!!

Way to go, Dipstikk. Good job. :D

AquaticAmbi 09-21-2005 02:18 PM

Tens of thousands a month? Damn! Congratulations!

Hmm, hey buddy, I think that sounds like enough to pay for TWO college educations... ;)

I really hope the little vibey things you just got are wrong and it's not a scam. Just make sure to do all that copyright stuffs yourself, so the guy doesn't steal your art and run off to make the moneys for himself.

Sounds like you have some way to go before you're hired, and particularly on a regular basis with a constant pay, but congratulations. I'd love a chance like that, if I could draw.

Kimon 09-21-2005 03:30 PM

Waitaminnit... were you joking about tens of thousands a month? Cuz that would net you about 2 or 3 hunred thousand dollars a year. That's a SHITLOAD. Like, you could live off that for years.

Dipstikk 09-21-2005 03:49 PM

I'm actually not sure about the exact amount, but I know he did mention something about money, and that being in the thousands.

Leto 09-21-2005 11:05 PM

Woah, teh koolness! That's a lot of cash coming in by the sounds.

Nice going. Now do da artz!

Xavier 09-22-2005 01:05 AM

Carry on Dip, carry on...
Don't let such a chance going away ;)

Havoc 09-22-2005 02:26 AM

Nice Dip! Always a good thing to get a step closer to your dream :). Tho I wouldn't count on ten-thousands of dollars a month. Then you would make more money a year then an average CEO of a big company :P.

Dino 09-22-2005 04:59 AM

Yeah we spoke about this over AIM, well done man.

I was thinking of going down this avenue once, I may well have another stab at it, cause some of my designs were fairly good. Just need to go speak to a few tattoo studios, ask them whether they'd be interested in a few designs.

Rex Tirano 09-22-2005 07:05 AM

Wow Dippy that's so fantastic. ^_^ Although wouldn't it be weird seeing someone with one of your designs on their back? I can just imagine you chasing someone randomly trying to sign their tatoo. :p

But yeah, like Xiou said, don't let this opportunity get away. Just do everything by the book and you'll be loaded.

[Ambi, we'll share him. ;)]

Congratulations, Dipstikk! It must be great to get a job that requires doing something you love! :D

Dipstikk 09-24-2005 01:41 PM

Guess who just made $25.00 for his first 'Tat design?

I get $50.00 total, but I get the other half when they apply it to the guy's arm and he pays for it.

Kimon 09-24-2005 01:52 PM

Nice! Wae 2 goe! :D

Just 10,000 more designs by the 30th and you'll reach your goal of tens of thousands of moneys a month! ;)

Shrink 09-25-2005 04:35 PM

Congrats, Dip. What was the design? Just a vague descripion, if you don't want to post it. :p

metroixer 09-25-2005 04:40 PM

Wow I am so jealous, but that shall not stop me from congradulating you! *Throws out a congrats party*

Oddish 09-26-2005 01:02 PM

Wow, that this great news, I'm happy for you. It must feel quite proud to be wanted for your talent. Well your going to a positive direction so that's good.
