I'm really excited to be dropping this design that I created w the help of one of my favorite artists/humans, @craola !! I've had this design laying around for awhile but between running a tattoo shop and trying my hand at "reality" TV it's become rather difficult to stay on top of things:) Luckily I've got a great group of people helping me out. If ur interested in snagging up one of these bad boys, please follow the link at the top of my profile. Thank u all so much for the continued support!! I really do appreciate it:)

@jessesmithtattoos it is pretty smooth, only had her for a week to fill in for my coil breaking. Hooked on rotarys after that.
@mrchristattoo
@jessesmithtattoos for sure buddy, yeah I'm good thanks for asking, been busy moving house with @rirodoodles nice to be settled in now :)
@mrchristattoo
@jessesmithtattoos forgot to say, I run it at 8volts with the 4mm throw with a bit of give and it's very close to a coil feel, good for soft black and grey, but works well with no give at all at 4mm but not having much needle hang out tho, :)
@travisfranklin_
@jessesmithtattoos I've been using the Ego out a lot. I like the way it hits so far. Some of the guys are using neotats and dragonflies. The dragonfly seems like you could do anything with it. Line/ shade/ color/ highlight. Woulda been really awesome to have 20 yrs ago for beach dots. Back when we made each needle.. Fakk! I'm that guy already...

@jessesmithtattoos great meeting you today man
@th3cl3an3r
For 10+ yrs I have searched high and low for an artist near me with half the skill and talent you have. No one even comes close.. I have been tatted by a few artists who have done ok, but I am never satisfied , especially when compared to your artwork. The people who have your artwork on their bodies should consider themselves to be immeasurably lucky.. I would be the happiest person on the planet to have a sleeve like all of the ones I have seen you do. Knowing I never will and knowing I will be settling, no matter who I go to, is not only heartbreaking, but also frustrating.. You sir, are unbelievable..

I know u guys probably don't really care about my Ink Master Jibber Jabber anymore, but I wanted to clear up something that seems to have been misconstrued on the show. During this particular episode I mentioned that I felt like I sold out doing this piece and I really wanted to clear up exactly what it was that I felt I had sold out on. I really respect and enjoy Japanese/Asian style work and I had a lot of fun doing this particular piece, however I came onto the show with the impression that we would have to do other styles, but would be free to put our own twist into those styles. While on the show I realized that if u tried to put ur own personality into a piece then u were destined to failure via the judges. In knowing that, I scoured the Internet to find Japanese reference for a female samurai. I ended up finding an old print created by an artist called Yoshitoshi and pretty much copied it. i switched a few things up to make it run parallel to what the client wanted but it was, for the most part, copied. To top it all off, I ended up winning with this piece. It was really difficult for me to enjoy that win because it really wasn't my art that won, it was Yoshitoshi's art. Essentially I didn't feel as though I earned that win. Any one of the artists that I was competing with at that point could have done exactly what I had done. They ended up losing because they either got an uncooperative client or they attempted to add there own twist to there piece. After all was said and done I really struggled with the way this contest was being judged. I noticed that artists would get praise for copying and artists who tried to do something original were penalized. So I told myself that from that point on I would not do a piece solely for the judges approval. I wanted to present myself as an artist who has the ambition to try and create new paths rather then reiterating the paths of other artists.

Jesse we all gotta start somewhere I do a lot of traditional Japanese and like no new school cause peeps up in Maine don't seem to want it it's all realism, traditional, Japanese and custom biomorph stuff, u earned that win, u went outta ur element and did a great tattoo, a lot of traditional Japanese stuff is copied and copied so u still rule in my book I think u shoulda gone to the finally and when u threw dude under the bus u were 100% right, u won flash challenges and other stuff and the other guy didn't win a thing it shoulda been u and Steve @jessesmithtattoos
@d_readd54
Sebastian never should have made it that far @jessesmithtattoos
@diamond_laced_wingz_108
@justingraves 👍💖 well said- as I wear this everyday, I watched Jesse forced out of his element and tho it was a tweaked copy, he worked hard on it. And made changes from the original that were subtle but made those changes embody a story for his client (me) ..we both were in a corner bcuz what I applied and was chosen for- when I got there they told me I couldn't get bcuz it wud b too "easy" for the artist- so I had no idea what to tell my artist to do(since last minute the show told me i wud need to change my idea) once I found out who my artist was. And @jessesmithtattoos was faced with that challenge to top it off. After the dust settled -I came to fully see and understand where Jesse was coming from, it's a beautiful piece of art..copy or not-I kno the work that went into it, the position you were put in and the games played around it.. And I was lucky to have been blessed with you as an artist. You did a beautiful job and I wear it daily..in gratitude. 💖✨ Thank you.

Fact of the matter is ..Most so called Japanese Tattooists Steal the art they put on people ..I rarely see an original samurai that has not been referenced
