Done with Hildbrant machines :3

Afterwards yep, but you need to get it nice and mixed before you put it into your cup. For the white, and the red from them I add a few drops of witch hazel.

Good job :P
Using hte right needle for the job will make your job a lot easier haha

Good find Angie! Thanks for sharing :3

I love Alla Prima
the white works like a charm
a small suggestion is to get some sterile bearings to put in the bottle. Alla Prima is kind of thick and the bearings help to mix the colour better

yeah i hear ya dude haha
i specialize in black and grey, and Japanese tattoos :3

9RS works well for smaller full colour areas
and a M1 or M2 or RM works well for larger areas of full colour
never use a liner needle for colouring :P
its like painting a wall with a toothbrush

Small circles are usually more for solid colour rather than shading
i could have sworn i just commented in here i dont know what happened lol

try using an M1 especially for something that size. youll get a nicer and smoother shade that way.
if you dont get your overlap almost perfect with an RS youll get that pencil like look to your shades.

i remember doing my koi on my leg i was so low to the ground it was very uncomfortable. i did it at my buddy’s place on live stream, and the inside of my leg was brutal to get to. that was the only really painful part. the rest was pretty decent. im sure if i had a higher seat it would have been a much easier tattoo to pull off :3

great work on…[Read more]

that’s kewl dude :3
my ex recentbly bought a Cannon Rebel T3 for 600$ at staples

thats MUCH better. i can actually see the guy riding the koi now. i couldnt even see him before! :O
looks a lot better when it’s big haha. i can see the softer shading and such. looks really great.
how did the knee feel?

They also have Inkstar and Vulsturd kits, but they are pretty cheap as far as machines, power supplies, and inks go.

good job dude!
hard work always pays off :3

thats a nice size for jpegs holy jeez. I def want a better camera when i get the extra cash :3

I’ve noticed it a lot with photobucket lately. maybe try http://www.tinypic.com ?

the only one that is large is the first one that was posted as an attachment

On my screen it’s small. I don’t know what resolution you guys are running at but my computer is at 1440×900.

Do you take raw files?
I have my camera set to compress them to .jpeg.

I wish i had a camera like that haha. i traded a 75$ inkstar tattoo kit for my camera :P

More than likely. I use a Fujifilm Finepix S9100 to take my pictures. It takes MASSIVE pictures. Almost 2MB in size, but the quality is amazing.

I agree. I’ve been there. I used to either wing it, or take a long time examining and comparing needles before getting into a piece. Now that I’ve been doing it for three years I can simply look at the stencil on the skin, and know which needles I’ll need. :3
