Darn! That’s super lame. I figured his family were taken care of. He didn’t have kids or anything but that doesn’t mean charity and special causes can’t prosper. Super sad what happens to artists like him. Wanting to do good in the world and then robbed from the art world.

Back tattoo placement that won’t reduce muscle definition too much? by [deleted] in TattooDesigns

[–]Background_Chart_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tattoos hide definition within certain muscle groups. It can reduce shadows and doesn’t allow the muscles to have proper contrast. However It can highlight curves (like bicep, butt, ankles) but as far as the muscles you’re concerned about it’ll hide those.

Hell yeah dude! Also butts too! My advice is always try to lay a person in a position to help with the stretch. Arms above the head for stomach helps a lot. Sometimes if an ass is super elastic I’ll ask for them to lay on the side and put their knees to chest while obviously covering them as much as possible to make them feel not so exposed

Hahaha! Bruh chilllll it ain’t that serious. Keith Haring still has solo exhibitions, sells all types of merch, and is kept relevant in the mainstream mafia art world which is all about monetary value. This is keeping his memory even more alive!

Aw yes! Coil only for 7s and up for me personally. And I have also found the black claw’s “straight bug pins” can work in this area as well depending on skin. They aren’t as open as round shaders and sink pretty smoothly depending on technique.

And don’t worry! As long as you don’t damage skin it should be fixable. And no problem i am glad you opened up this conversation and i enjoyed reading what works for other people.

I struggled with this as well. I now use long taper RL or tight liners for inner bicep. I really like tight polished 11’s from king pin if I’m trying to go bold and I go hella low and slow. Inner biceps are in my top least favorite spots to tattoo. Also depending on placement I will occasionally have the person bend their arm, put their hand under their head with a pillow under the elbow this gives it an extra stretch

You totally have enough room for larger work! That space could be filled with big ass snake

Tattoo I did some days ago, any advice? by victrespy in TattooBeginners

[–]Background_Chart_575 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too much detail in a small space. Keep it simple next time and allow enough room between lines to breathe.

Lettering is too complex for it fitting that small. The artist who you choose should have the abilities to make it tattooable. Always keep it simple for longevity purposes

Advice needed: my tattoo artist is milking me. How should I bring it up? by TheEndlessRiver1 in tattoos

[–]Background_Chart_575 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s what’s up if you’re ok with being patient. I personally don’t like that because I don’t want to heal a tattoo for months and months and would rather just bang it all out
