  10. Sounds like you might just need more courage! most of the belts that i am doing are just raw untreated belt and burnishing are NOT NEEDED. Therefore, i took in the order. Also, about the hole punching. Its always good to learn more from other craftsmen regarding the way and method they used to gauge the length to punch hole. Well, learning doesn't stop at anytime. You might be a great tattoo artist, but you would definitely want to learn more from other better tattoo artist that have way more experience and are much talented than you.Would love to see some works from you though. Lastly, i do sell them at a pretty low price. So ya, maybe this could "help" you in some ways.
