I agree, awsome work!!!! :D

Thanks for that great review on the equipment as well. If I may ask, what type of machine was the rotary you used?

LOL..no problems and i completely understand. You actually wont be seeing any of my actual skin work anytime soon unfortunately..Im in Afghansistan right now so im very limited on what i can do. I dont even have any equipment with me at present though i plan on having it sent for practice skins and honing my skills… ;)

Yes, pretty much, if you refrigerate it I usually let it set and try to get room temp before doing the stencil, wipe it down with paper towels a few time and some alchohol, other wise its got alot of moisture and messes up the stencil. thanks for the compliment, much appreciated… :ugeek:

Trantula…
Im not 100% sure i follow..I was merely stating that using a 7mag is not really the best thing to use when doing and outline. I “Recommended” using the correct needle groupings RL’s. Personally, I think using a mag for outlining is a bit advanced. Your working off the corner of that mag, you better have some skills…. ;)
Whether or…[Read more]

LOL…no harm no foul…
Yes, you are correct, I did ask what others were using as far as needles. Yes, I did recommmend that instead of outlining with a Mag the OP uses a RL. I maybe incorrect here but I think the OP needs to learn to use an RL before using a Mag for outline work. Sorry I have have offended. :)

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

i LIKE IT!!! Very stylized works! would make some really cool flash sheets!!!!

I had actually responded earlier as well, but lost my internet.. :o
Looking better…I wouldnt recommend you using those mags to outline, I dont think your quite ready for that. Use a 7rl, or 9rl for your outlines and try like it was mentioned to keep the lines nice and crisp. I would find me a outline with tons of line work and just start laying…[Read more]

Looks good! what did you use for shading???

I was curious about the Valsturds..good info. that i could outfit them with Baltimore Irons parts though..I may investigate that with my currently Hildy machines( not the vlasturds). I would have chosen the same needle groups as you did…I like that selection. Intenze inks i havent used, I will definately be investing in some in the future. I…[Read more]

Hell yeah….now we got some info sharing! I shall comment more on this later on, but, THANK YOU!

LOL…. :lol: :lol:
wasnt trying to be bossy,…just trying to get away from the “look what i did” posts and actually have people give some background on thought process…learing process.
Im hopeing this gets made into a sticky and remains at the top! :D

These pictures….I cant ever really shit in them!!!! anyway, judging from the “picture” it looks nice and neat, clean! I like the varied line weights, good choice, color saturation and gradiation looks good as well. Again, I can only tell you what i can see in these small ass pictures but overall i think you did well! :mrgreen:

that seems very reasonable…… ;)

Yah….ME TOO. 8-)

Thanks Mark… :mrgreen:

Youll get there just slow your roll and take your time with things. Pay attention to the details cause thats what makes a good tattoo great.

I feel you bro..no harm, no foul.

:D

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm………..I read this earlier and i thought, eh, ok. Then i started to think a bit more about it. Why should anybody have to change who they are just to fit in? I mean, if that’s something you want to do then so be it..but why would you have to change your figure to get a job for a tattoo shop of all things? Ive been in plenty of…[Read more]

Bricktop.. :lol: love that screen name…excellent movie!!!!!!

Sketch book look great, alot of talent there. I would like to see some old school thrown into the mix just to spice up the overall feel….other than that great job!!!!!!! :mrgreen:
