1940s Bert Grimm Dagger. All of my tattoo references are used from the books "Bert Grimm A Legend In His Own Time" Vol. 1 ,2, & 3. From tracing the stencil in the book, to redrawing multiple stencils on carbon paper, then to the finished outline 💉 Practicing | CLEAN Lines | 💙 . #ArtfulAlex #TattooLegacy #TattooPractice #BertGrimm #BertGrimmFlash #BertGrimmTattoo #linework #TraditionalTattooApprentice #TraditionalApprentice #tattoo #Practice #tattooApprentice #LearningRight #ProudlyProgressing

The solid foundation of references I am building my Tattoo Apprenticeship off of. Around 1940s Bert Grimm flash which was all scanned from the personal collection that Mike & Mary's Museum held. Keeping the traditional legacy Alive! More tattoo practice to come 💉 . #ArtfulAlex #artistinthemaking #tattooApprentice #TraditionalTattooApprentice #TraditionalApprentice #TattooPractice #TattooHistory #TraditionalFlash #TraditionalReferences

Another practice tattoo. 💉 1 of many. Left is the Bert Grimm example from 1940s, Right is obviously my work. Not only is this tattoo practice, but I had hand drawn the stencil and all that happy fun as well! Practice leads to improvements right? 😊 . #ArtfulAlex #TattooPractice #tattooApprentice #learning #Practice #progress #PracticeEveryday #LoyalToTheCoil #uprisingartist #uprisingtattooer #TraditionalApprentice #Traditional #TraditionalPractice #traditionaltattoo #traditionaltattooflash

Got to grab a selfie with Mike @cmskiversr and Wolfie here at the #PhiladelphiaTattooConvention. 💉 Definitely was an amazing show. So many artists, so much information, and a great amount of history to absorb in. Thank you Mike and Mary with Personal Art Studio for making it possible for me to travel with to different shows and experience the environments for myself! I wouldn't be here without you guys. 💙 #ArtfulAlex #arts #artistofinstagram #artistinthemaking #uprisingartist #uprisingtattooer #tattooconvention #tattooapprentice #travelingApprentice #TravelingArtist #LearningRight #TraditionalApprentice #progress #PhillyTattooExpo
