its possible to do a tattoo with zero black. so u need to create tonal changes with multiple colors. i mix ink in the tube to achieve this, or use contrasting colors to create depth.

i get decent results ustilizing a mickey sharpz iron dial, 7 – 15 mags , rounded is good, but flats work just as well, kuro sumi ink, and a couple premixed lighter shades, and a couple cups of water. and then theres the tech, technique is something u have to learn on your own, everyone does shit a little different.

contact a slaughterer. let him know what you intend to do with it, and get him to cut off some belly skin. you can get a pretty huge piece. he’ll let u know when he’s killing another pig, and where he’s taking it to. you can buy the skin off him. ive gotten em for free that way.

so you live in Mon-Tucky, and without much of a clue about tattooing, you’ve procured an autoclave? why? aside from the $1500 refurbished to $3000 new model expense….

maybe all your previous tattoos were done by professionals, or it could be that all your other pieces are in ‘easy to get att places’ and the one your brother did is in an ultra painfull area.

whats an air- gap? is that like gauges in your ear…

does it spit ink? if so then turn it down, if its just dribbling out or making blobs slowly then i would’nt worry about it. i get ink all over my middle finger from that slow drool of ink.

for grey wash inks, i would use a normal black, not a triple, or tribal black. Kuro Sumi is the shit, i’ve had good results with Moms onyx black as well. If you want a pre mix bottle, then pour 1/2 a bottle of ink, and then use distilled h2o, then make another with a 1/4 ink 3/4 h20, for your lighter tones. Using alcohol or water depends on what…[Read more]

u know that eternal and intenze are made by the same people right….

theres abook by the grimm brothers i think

i started my apprenticeship at 26 with an infant daughter. i had to endure a year and a half of minimal income, but 12 hour days 7 days a week. i was fortunate that my mentor did not like sticking his fingers into other peoples nostrils and mouths, so he taught me to pierce about 3 months into it. all i got to tattoo was small, basic, solid black…[Read more]

oh, if you were tattooing that piece, the general consenses of the procedure is to work from dark to light colors…

thats a great tutorial, however if you can drAW like that in photoshop, you could draw that piece with markers on skin in about 5 minutes. so theres no point in designing it, and cutting a stencil… save yourself an hour…

how big is it and where on the body, what type of ink, needle groupings did you use?

looks a little washed out

whut brand u using

never use spray bottles. u cross contaminate all over the place. u can score sum great squirt bottles from hair salon supply stores as well

i like to cut a small slit in my bag before putting it on, this prevents any small amount of material being trapped in the tube tip or getting ensnared in the needle grouping.

mmm yeah

i prefer hand making stencils and drawing directly on the skin. thermofax’s have a tendency of making shitty stencils, the tissue like paper sucks and if you get it a little too wet theyre fuct. if its someplace that alot of people use it, they will fuck it up by trying to adjust it all the time. ive wathced those things destroy entire sheets of…[Read more]
