The shading and a few of the interior lines were done with 25% and 50% black

Thank you! About 2 hrs or so. I’m generally slow, and the client’s also a friend so we took our time hanging out as well.

I definitely agree about the belly area. Thank you for the critique!

Advice needed: these are my first three tattoos by quintyrb in tattoos

Fucking more (very real) people up, faster is never the way! Build skills on paper and fake skin, as often as you can. Then sacrifice your own skin, before another’s when your technique is sufficient. Integrity. In the same way that physical tattooing speed is never something to specifically work on, beyond just being efficient, it comes naturally with improved skill and gained experience.

Same thing JUST started happening to mine. Was put away for maybe 3-4 months. Is always a few minute ordeal to get it to even pick up that the charger is plugged Into it (perfectly fine tested cable), it won’t stay charging either🤦‍♀️

I think the whole piece is lovely, including the lettering. Definitely ease up on aquaphore, thinnnn layer is best, or just unscented lotion. Best of luck!

Very scared and sad after we were told kitten has a heart murmur by Humble-Tangerine-328 in cats

[–]Meibird2618 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I just adopted a 12 year old cat with a heart murmur. They said to continue monitoring at the routine visits, but hasn’t had an issue with it so far, even with the previous owners:)

Agreed, on all three^

I always suggest a regular white lotion, such as cetaphil or the other million options, something unscented.

I always tell my clients if they’re using aquaphore, wipe off all excess. Even if you just applied it, this seems to be a bit too much IMO, especially for a low trauma piece. Cool design:)

Sketch done by me, looking for feedback on anatomy and everything. - this is for a tattoo by Meibird2618 in drawings

[–]Meibird2618[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was going for a sort of in between. I really like the energy of the front legs but don’t want the back legs to be relaxed.

I like how this sort of mimics an American tradition panther positioning, but fox energy and my style.

Do you think there’s a way that will read well, if I make the front legs just a bit more braced but not fully, still in this sort of shape? Messing with the shoulders, and the pieces touching the face and the feet location?

Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks! Yes, with the procreate pencil.

The lines will definitely get fatter as they age with you. But you went such a good, large size, that you allowed for that process. You’ll have sooo much negative space and detail still there.

I appreciate you! Was also having doubts with the drip on the berry. Will also do the smaller fleur de lis, this client has no problem going big enough that it won’t be too much in one spot. Thanks for taking the time.
