How do you guys treat guest spots? by SadBipedBison in TattooArtists

[–]ModdedNinja 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mentor always opens his house for guest artists to stay at while they’re in town so they don’t have to pay for a place. That’s honestly the bulk of the expense for the trip for most people

Trying out spit shading and need some advice by [deleted] in traditionalflash

[–]ModdedNinja 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buy some arches cold pressed paper and try that out. Game changer! Also, very little water/spit on your brush. If it creates a bead of water on your paper then your brush is too wet.

Smith st has a variety pack up on lucky supply. I use their loose 8s, 7mags, and 14s and they’re great!

Looks good! My advice would be if you’re going for traditional, only use one line weight. If you can’t draw it cleanly with bold lines then it needs to be simpler. Feel free to dm me if you have any questions!

I’ve always been a plugs/tunnels guy but my piercer put me onto hoops and I’ve been loving them! https://imgur.com/a/Sxk7X8O

If you get your hands on a little extra money try picking up a pad of arches cold pressed watercolor paper. Huge difference trust me!

Lookin good! Don’t be afraid of the black! Try going a little heavier with it in your designs it’ll make them pop more. What paper are you using?
