You could try an Old School Traditional design

It just doesn’t come out bold when I trace over it. I’ve tried pencils, pens, and even colored pencils. I just don’t know but I’ll give that way a try and see how it works out for me. Speedstick is great in all, but you got to make sure you use a tongue depressor.
I’ve seen “Professional Tattoo Artists” use speedstick and apply it directly on the…[Read more]

Yeah, not so intricate, artsy and using negative space to their advantage. But these are my opinions, not fact.

Thank you, and yeah the torn skin thing is more new school, in my opinion.

Just received my set and busted out these 2. I noticed I can see individual needle marks after shading is that the practice skin or do I need to adjust my machine?

I don’t think it has to do with the voltage, since that has nothing to do with the speed of the needles travel. I suggest smaller tighter circles or ovals, whatever…[Read more]

CONGRATULATIONS SHAGGY!!! Glad to hear someone “got their foot in the door!”
Keep on, Keepin’ on, that’s my motto! Best of luck with the apprenticeship, hoping to see some of the work you’ll be producing within the coming years.

No matter if you’re in the shop or at home, you shouldn’t rush! That’s all part of the craft!!!

No, Angie. It’s all preference. It’s what YOU like to use. Personally I don’t mind using Kuro Sumi pigments, but I do like using Intenze pigments as well. It all depends on the piece at hand, and desired look I’m trying to get.

You’re very welcome, Angie! (:

I don’t agree that there is no gradient at all. If you look closely you will see the dark-medium grey wash and some medium-light grey wash.
They’re very subtle and smooth gradients but it definitely could benefit with more, but there are some transitions.

I looks unfinished. Could use some more darker blacks in there. Never be afraid to add black! Highlights would also be a nice contributing factor to the completed look of the tattoo. A lot of people tend to stray away from the darker blacks, and such, but it gives a more finished look. It is a rad design, and really well…

Yeah, it is DESIGNED FOR A SLOW SHADER, BUT me being….. ME! LOL
I changed the springs, contact screw, and re-tuned to an all in one machine! It’s pretty B.A. if I’d have to say. haha.

Right, Angie? Ha He’s got crazy skills. (:

And we use alot of irony. And we dont use NOOOOOT at the end of it. You just have to figure what we mean by looking in our eyes. If theres a gleam, its a joke, if darkness is there, we mean it :P
