Starbrite and Intenze are great but there are a lot of really good inks out there.Dynamic, eternal, Alla Prima, personally i don’t like Moms anymore . Just remember that you get what you pay for and that statement is so, so true when it comes to ink. Watch for fake ink like on eBay. Try them 1/2 oz at a time so you don’t have to much money invest in them in case you don’t like em…Hope this helps

finished this last night :)

I don’t want to be critical and I know everyone has to start somewhere but you really need to work on your outlining. Your lines are all over the place. Start from the lower left and work your way up your tattoo stencil. When you start a line continue through it from start to finish without interruption. Make sure that you are stretching the skin in the area that you are tattooing with your non-tattoo hand. I know that you’re just starting out but these are areas that I noticed from looking at your work. Also, you need to spend some time working on your stencils to make your work stand out and be cleaner. I’m trying to be constructive and not meaning to rain on your parade.

@jguzman89: Yes it’s a zombie ariel from TLM :P
@jcarmack: yeah lining is difficult. especially when your client’s dont stay still haha. i cant start from the left as I am right handed. I start from the bottom right, and work my way to the top left. if i started at the bottom left my right hand–my tattoo hand–would smudge my stencil. the other issue is i dont have a stencil copier, and the paper i had makes really light stencils by hand. i recently acquired an office fax ive been using for making my stencils. as far as the lines not all people can handle the longer lines in one shot. I try not to stop my lines unless it is at a junction where lines meet to hide the starts, and stops. just need more practice is all :)speaking of line work:

Finally got some new designs edited, and ready for showing!
Mythosaur skull from the Star Wars Universe
this was a difficult piece to draw as there isnt any evidence in the SW universe that this creature ever even existed :P
the only evidence is the symbol the mandalorians use for their heritage :P
IE on Bobba/Jango Fett’s armour, etc
So I used that–which is solid black–for the shape, and a cow skull to create this fully custom piece of art :)https://fbcdn-sphotos-d-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/529139_449223521819757_2098514763_n.jpg

Intenze Zuper Black for the outline and Kuro Sumi Outlining Ink for the shading
I had a few issues with the line work. her skin was VERY look it was a real pain in the ass to stretch. I pretty much had to grab it then pull it up to her tits to get get it tight XD [over exaggeration obviously :P]

Same city just a different street. My landlady is a really bit ol’ cu**, and isnt getting her way so she’s trying to evict me illegally so I’m just going to move. The new place is owned by my old landlord whom is friggen amazing. No pics of the old shop sadly. Didn’t have time, and now it’s in the process of being torn down as I’m moving in the AM haha.
-
-
-
-
haha nope sorry :P
Feel free to move up there though ;)
we could split the rent on a space :Pi got the new shop all set up i just need to finish up the rest of my place and then get the health unit in there. i should hopefully have some pics up soon.
wont have internet until the 14th of aug so the practice lessons will be a little slow until then as well as my keeping up to speed on the forum. i logged on today and im kind of overwhelmed with the amount of activity we’re having lately.
-
-
haha no worries bro. im not going anywhere so if you change your mind im here. i also did a cover up on tuesday. hoping to get the photos edited, and posted soonish. Again I spaced and forgot to take a before photo. hoping the dude has one somewhere even if its a crappy photo haha. I also have anotehr cover up coming up soon. jeez i hope I dont turn out to be a cover up artist like Big Gus now XD
-

studio one has the HP-2, but it is 99$. Personally I paid 150$ for mine at a local tattoo shop. I was seriously ripped off. Hurricane is actually a really good power supply brand. I know of four other artists that use the HP-2. I’m looking to upgrade tot he HP-3 as soon as I can actually get around to ordering one haha

Work since the move:
yet another cover up on the inner calf

Gave a buddy of mine a 200$ Gift Certificate for his tattoo equipment cuz he quit. Nothing amazing just stuff I’m going to sell. We started on a Salvador Dali sleeve. He already had one spider elephant, I’ve done Dali’s signature, and an elephant. He’s coming tomorrow to get L’Amour de Peirrot done. I’m stoked for these pieces. Took me 2hrs to make the L’Amour stencil. SO much detail to draw out. Once I finish that one tomorrow I’ll be posting the pics. :3

I can’t say anything about the use of the machine, since I yet to get to that point – but I did notice that the quality of the lettering seems to out-stand the others. I have watched my brother become a tattoo artist and saw him make a stencil without a copier… he made mine that way…

ill try to get to the pics tonight ive been so busy as of late
What buddy doesnt udnerstand is if is tarted on the bottom LEFT I’d rub my stencil off which my hand as I am right handed :P
So shows what he knows. also back then it was a lot of my older works. I’ve been doing this quite a while, and ive been on this forum for a long time haha

the hand is a pretty controversial place to get a tattoo
if someone is 18 with like no tats and such i wont do them, or neck tattoos, or knuckles.
if they are 18 and are covered in tats already then ill do it
if they have tats or are of a decent age then ill do em. otherwise im not going to ruin someones job opportunities lmao -

So I am kind of shitting myself right now.
I drew up this Iris flower for my sister last year, and we finally got the time to sit and do it. I was a little overwhelmed with it at first as I don’t so a lot of colour. I try to get by with PARTIAL colour, but it is VERY rare I do FULL colour. We did it in full colour, and holy fuck I blew my own MIND. In the pic the rose is an OLD tat from 2011. My sister was the first person I had ever tatted. It was a star outline. I then covered it with this rose. I had crap inks, it didnt go well. I then went at it again with what I later found out were FAKE inks. So it needed another go. Instead of just doing the EXACT same thing, I went in and COMPLETELY re did the design. Changed the leaves, and added lighter purples, some white, fresh black shading, and it looks much better. NOTHING compared to the iris though. omg. -

here is the Salvador Dali L’Amour de Pierrot I told you guys about. My buddy couldn’t come before cuz his wife was in a pissy mood, but we did it last night! 4hrs and 23m!

I have some business cards! lol but they say “photographer and graphic artist” :( They’re a little dated, but they work.

I have always felt that simple is GOOD!

That is our latest batch front and rear. If anyone wants the link to our card people shot me a pm, we get 1000 4 color standard size cards, glossy coated with our own artwork (yes they will print ANY artwork you send them gives you alot of freedom to actually design your own cards for no extra charge) front and back for just at $35 usd including shipping and we get em in about 3 days after the order is submitted. -

The C is the biggest thing for me. If the letters were solid it would be different. You also have to remember that business cards are 3.5×2.5 inches. I’m not saying the cards are bad, and the font is rad. I just find you need to actually focus and READ it rather than be able to look at it at a glance and say “Oh it says “Monkey face head!”

Tat I did last night. Anyone who can guess what show it’s from is my new favourite!

I like the shading and how smooth the grey is.. Allot of artist focus mainly on just the veins in the hand which is good but, i think in this one the detail all in all is perfect and didn’t need all that extra shading. i liked the way the outline was around the hands.. You could have shaded more between the fingers but i think it might have taken away from the soft grey.. But that is just my opinion!!! GREAT WORK!!!!

Heres my recent stuff. my graphics card died a month ago, and i finally got a new one on wednesday! :3

Recent from 2014. Keep in mind I am a traditional artist, not realism. When I look at pictures I see bold lines, not shapes and shades like portrait artists.
