That is tough. Your stencil has got to be good and you gotta go slow obviously, but man – I think what would work (only because I think only about how I would draw it) is to tattoo the man first and use him as a helpful reference for the perfect circle and square. Since the shapes touch the corners of his image – you can take it…

Not bad :D

You should give alot more attension to the eyes though ;) If you can mezmorise me with great looking eyes, I wouldnt have noticed the lifeless flat hat :P hahaha Just kidding.
Well not really kidding, the hat looks a bit, dosent belong in the portrait – ish. ;)

You have an idea of how to do the gradient. And thats a BIG plus. When…[Read more]

Ohhh I nearly dropped my coffey, seing all the redness. (Yub didnt read your post before I looked, my bad)

Its kind of hard to see the writing. But from afar it looks great… Besides the redness :mrgreen:

Not bad. But as I cant see the line work that well, it looks to me that there are some thin lines, and some thick lines. It lacks a bit of consistency. But still not bad ;)

And I know; its not easy tattooing yourself. ;)

Business is a must have quallity. You could be a darn good artist. But f your shop runs down… Well your screwed. You could always jump from parlour to parlour, doing guest stuff. But to have your own, thats awesome ;)

Actually this opened my eyes a bit. Never thought of it before.
I never knew what I wanted to be, job means. But now, when I…[Read more]

Maybe I should give these lessons a go. If I can find the time ;)

Darn it, I have this damn little puddle of water between us…
That could be awesome to meat. We’ill all met at Spiders place (Love that name by the way :mrgreen: )

But I have to visit America some day. A little big dream of mine. :lol:

Glad to hear from you Melissa, i also have kids. Three little tattooists , they always drawing their hands.

Yes tattoo is an art, special one because you really have to match the right drawing to the proper character. In this way the drawing becomes alive and follows the circle of life.

That is something you cannot see in…

Its a solid backbone of a drawing.
But me have to agree, you can do alot more shading to this fishy. ;) You can really do tons of shadings with a regular HB pencil. Even stretch it as far as saying; you can do about 50 shades of grey here :P hahaha ahhh I know, cheap shot. Sorry, I just woke up ;)

Sorry if I came off a little rough. I mean’t no disrespect. I think the double sided cards are a fucking rad idea. It’s just that font, haha. I see my cards like I see my tats. I want people to be able to read them instantly, and be able to read it from as far away as possible.

Ah well, since we change our cards up every month I’ll keep that in mind next time.

If you can use them, the tools graphic designers use can be invaluable in the tattoo field. Since I am a Linux user I use GIMP instead of photoshop, I also have an art program called Krita. With it I can take..hmm well it’s easier to just show and tell…[Read more]

i agree, but like I said: First ship haha
I wasnt really feeling it since the first line. I started it a few months ago, and decided I should probably finish it just to get it over with haha

I forget whom exactly asked for a video about doing proper lines instead of sketchy ones but here it is
I thought I had windows movie maker on my PC, but…[Read more]

Lesson 5: Full Colour

Time to do another specific lesson: Colour. These will be hand drawn drawings that will then be coloured. I suggest drawing a really nice line drawing, scanning it, printing it, then colouring the print off. You may need to run over the lines on the print off with pencil to make them stand out again.

Criteria

I want to see…[Read more]

you can but sometimes they dont turn out well
there is an attachment form below your regular post form you can use, but there are size contraints.

try Tatsoul’s Gen2 wrath tubes.

I usually just used youtube. I’ll be posting up some tutorial videos in the near future. I just bought a tripod for my camera.

looks pretty good
You are very pretty btw :P
what you are using is a Cheyenne Hawk Spirit, or at the very least a fake one.
Hard to tell from those picstures
the reasonw hy I say fake is because you just called it “The Hawk” haha
really good tattoo though
you need to watch how you tattoo darker skinned people. Their skins VERY sensitive that could…[Read more]
