Submitting Work to Tattoo Magazines

2 messages · last activity 7/21/2011

I've tried sending in images to various tattoo magazines of my work (packages included CD's of digital images, prints of the tattoos, and he shop's business card w/ contact info). I've had no luck. So, other than just being rejected for submission, I'm wondering if I did something wrong, and was hoping somebody with experience in this could help me out. First of all, do the magazines contact you if you are selected? Do you need a release from the client to submit their tattoo? Some of the addresses are vague in the inside cover of the magazine. I don't want to accidentally send my images to the billing department and just get them tossed. Does anybody out there have an epic list of addresses to send to? I took a photo of said list at a seminar at the Paradise Gathering, but of course my camera got stolen. Go figure. Any info would help. Thanks!
Well, first thing is to post up some links to the tattoos you sent in. Assuming they are up to par, then its a matter of consistently sending in photos.
