The Guided Tattoo Studio
Well, after a few years and a lot of tries I finally knocked something off my Photo Bucket List.
It has been over a month and I suck about updating the website sometimes, but here we are.
James Thiry; Artist and Owner of The Guided Tattoo Studio is such an awesome guy and a very talented artist.
This session I was pretty nervous about and even made myself feel awkward during for absolutely no reason.
I had spent a lot of time sending messages on Instagram when I had it and have spent a lot of time emailing, and making phone calls to shops to try and make this happen; so I think that it finally happening all of the ‘‘seen’’ or emails with no response I just got it in my head that I was just being weird.
I won’t slander any artist or shops or anything like that because I get it, you’re inviting someone to be up in your shit while putting something permanent on someones skin so I can understand that.
However one shop in particular actually laughed over the phone when I asked if any artists at their shop would be interested in having a session photo’d to use for their personal use especially with social media. So, that was kinda what made me start feeling weird about what I was asking to do.
Now writing this I am realizing this was almost two months ago, I suck.
James was working on a leg piece for his wife on Valentines Day, so thinking to add in this information reminded me, it has almost been two months.
The only thing I wish I could change is that I wish I would have moved around more; I am very happy with what I got but if I could do it again.
Like I said in the beginning James is an awesome guy and a badass Artist, he offers Tattooing, Pet Portraits, and even has a shop where he sells his Paintings and Art!
The details, colors, shading, and line work is so beautiful. As good as this camera is and as good as I can possibly be with color grading this photo still doesn’t do his work justice.
I can’t thank James enough for letting me photo this, even though I feel like I didn’t do enough which is normal with any session I do, I am more than happy to look back at these as still be as happy that I got to do this for someone FINALLY!
Honestly, all the ignored messages and no thank you responses leading up to my first photo’d tattoo session being for a husband tattooing his wife on valentines day is pretty fucking awesome and makes up for it.
I’ll be sending this to James once written and live, so I would just like to say thank you, man I really appreciate your time and letting me into your space to capture these photos for you. It was an awesome ass time!
