Damn it, I’m moving to America… Look at those prices.
Kuro Sumi Outlining Tattoo Ink 12oz in America 24.99$ That exact same amount, in my country, is 43.18$ Goddamn it, I feel like I’m getting screwed big time :O

And the cheapest, piss poor, Chinese machine you can get the absolute cheapest, nothing IS cheaper then 100$

Nice ball ;)
Looks good.

So guys and gals, I’ve finished my Jellinge Stone. Turned out quite good in my oppinion. Though she is very red, even when I used witch hazel. With the first line, she turned red right away. :S
Shes a meaty one, placed the stencil on her, when she was in a relaxed standing position, but once I got her on the table, it twisted and turned every time…[Read more]

hello ym new what do you think of my work

Would you mind greatly if I modified just a bit and put that in ink? I have a model I’m working on it would look awesome on. Can give you cred for the original if you hit me up in a pm with the info you want credited for.

Its crazy but makes you learn on the spot how to not cut corners but make things work when you…

Adding some white in the right amounts will greatly enahnce alot of pieces. On this one I used a 5M2 for the white, as well as used a water washed baby blue along with dark blue, and baby blue to get the desired shading and color blends, all applied seprately of course. Take advantage of the effects of washing your colors at times for awesome…[Read more]

I know how you feel.

If I’m not 100 % satisfied, I tend to get the blues hahaha

But never mind that Hiroshi III made the original, everybody should have atleast 1 artist they look up to, and copy. ;)

You gave it more life, thats for sure ;)

So I’d say you made it better ;)

That demon looks sweet. Are you planning on doing som background as well?

I like the sitting dragon, you got very good shades on that. And fancy pencils? well its good to have an array of different pencils, but you can get great shades with just one single HB pencil.

The idea of the can is really good, and you could give it great shades. The reason for the can is good, is the bended area, which is infact a very…[Read more]

I use StarBrite myself. Got a great offer from my supplier for a big bundle of StarBrite. Hahaha and I will not tell the price, since you guys from across the ocean gets it a lot cheaper, but for me, (and in my country) it was cheap ;)

I’ve got a few bottles of Kashoku, but its thick and dosent go in well.

I’ve been planning on trying out…[Read more]

Hahahah.

Yeah I get your point, if your not a wordsmith, then to break the ice could be difficult.

Some artists love to talk about their story, they usually just have to listen to other peoples stories all the time. So just start asking about how he/she came to be a tattoo artist :D

Thanks Wyki :3

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.

Tape your stencil to your sheep be sure to remove the onion sheet and push REALLY hard on the page. You may have to go over each line a few times. I sometimes do like a back and forth motion when making my stencils. The problem is that spirit paper is MADE for HEAT not PRESSURE. You should look into Hectograph Paper which is used with Dot Matrix…[Read more]

I’m moving tomorrow. The shop is going to be quite a bit smaller. Hoping to get some new work posted soon.
