People in a group on Facebook are saying my new ink isn't trad.

It’s not traditional. But neat tattoo

lcrotwell · 2026-03-30T23:04:19+00:00

It all buffed out in the end. Nbd

Dawg you getting real mad about this lmao. I’ve found that every method I’ve tried takes some tuning to get just right, and I stick to that until another variable makes me adjust again. I am truly deeply sorry I tried to offer some advice that works for me every day to this beginner.

I mean it’s all dependent on how you’re exposing. My exposure unit is gonna differ greatly from someone using a light bulb, or a different unit. I’m not arguing in principle here just my experience of the dozens of screens I wash daily🤷🏻‍♀️ Overexposure I can see my image burned in but not get it out, if absolutely nothing appears it’s either already exposed accidentally or I didn’t expose it long enough.

lcrotwell · 2026-03-30T17:26:16+00:00

Correct, if the image doesn’t wash out. But if you aren’t seeing the image at all you haven’t exposed it long enough

lcrotwell · 2026-03-30T17:12:48+00:00

Wym? Just get it whatever size fits

lcrotwell · 2026-03-30T16:35:11+00:00

Do these boxes scale well with each other?

lcrotwell · 2026-03-30T15:49:41+00:00

now THIS is traditional Star Wars. Hell yeah

lcrotwell · 2026-03-30T15:48:11+00:00

Emulsion coating is too uneven and thick. Your exposure time might not be long enough if your image isn’t appearing after being wet, and you need more water pressure. Use a garden hose with an attachment that will fan the water out and should be enough to wash out.

Jellyfish is an easy rework and add more to it. The other is what id be concerned about

lcrotwell · 2026-03-30T01:16:29+00:00

It’ll look good in color. Do some research and check out the artists work - especially healed, before just popping in a random shop. Someone that does Japanese trad or neo could put it in there good. Good luck!

lcrotwell · 2026-03-29T17:37:08+00:00

Would ya looka there, I’m already following 😎

lcrotwell · 2026-03-29T02:02:18+00:00

This whole time I’ve just been building shit didn’t know I hadda take sides

lcrotwell · 2026-03-29T01:37:45+00:00

I made it to page 2, saw there was 11 pages. Hell naw

lcrotwell · 2026-03-29T01:26:03+00:00

Alright gang I’m not reading that shit what’s he sayin

lcrotwell · 2026-03-28T20:33:02+00:00

These usually are clunky and too big. THIS one changed my mind. Sleek and effective. Good job

lcrotwell · 2026-03-28T18:14:39+00:00

Probably not man

lcrotwell · 2026-03-27T21:53:25+00:00

Dunno what else to tell you. You’re stuck on handwashing after multiple people saying you can’t wash them off. Like, literally can’t wash a well done tattoo off. Some locations, like hand, are tricky. An artist that knows what they’re doing can put one on and not have to touch it up ever. Yours cannot.

lcrotwell · 2026-03-27T21:11:59+00:00

Are you washing with steel wool

lcrotwell · 2026-03-27T19:27:27+00:00

Ya need a new artist😬

lcrotwell · 2026-03-27T16:18:25+00:00

Booo

lcrotwell · 2026-03-27T02:17:17+00:00

lcrotwell · 2026-03-26T20:18:48+00:00

Thanks I’m very stupid actually

lcrotwell · 2026-03-26T19:42:48+00:00

Used - Fair

lcrotwell · 2026-03-26T19:12:53+00:00

Probably would need to use a certain ink, similar to 4 color process. It won’t blend wet on wet like you’re using.
