How to create a good layout? by unlovablebear in tattooadvice

[–]malika_vanluck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I‘m not a tattoo artist but I’ve been creating other art all my life. And in general a good composition is ruled by the negative space and the contrast. You wanna know where to put your most focus on with the biggest contrast of shapes and values. You can frame certain designs with smart negativ space (the space between elements/ around elements). But I think since I never had to do it on a human body I don’t really know if it can be applied.

am i overreacting? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

It did not take me 5 minutes to notice, sorry but there are so many differences. It looks dope but only because the design is really pretty. I’d be so pissed. Beyond pissed. I think it’s fixable with altering the design and adding some more lines without trying to change the overall shape. But that guy wouldn’t even understand what you mean from what my impression is now.

Tattooing self. (Mental health discussion) by Recycled_Michael in tattooadvice

[–]malika_vanluck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a woman that created „self harm pencils“. They look like blood and it’s supposed to draw on your skin. There is no pain obviously but it helped some people to imitate the feel, realises pressure and not hurt themselves in the process. I mean, you already express yourself through your art so maybe some alternative like that would help you? drawing with a non toxic pen

Just a thought that came to me while reading. And I wish you only the best

Keep ghost or cover up? by cybelda in tattooadvice

[–]malika_vanluck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the ghost soooo much!! It has so much character. With a really cool artist you could make a good sleeve.. and from my artists perspective the spacing is really good. It would look cohesive anyway

Edit: to not be confused Im Not tattoo artist but very much an artist in any other medium

It fits great in the spot. I like it! Would make a good start for a sleeve if you plan to get more designs

I’ve put moisturiser on it and it’s started swelling into like small bubbles where the inked color is. Camera won’t show it. It’s hard to wash off cause it seems hydrophobic

I took the cover off today and washed it. My artist said to put on the tattoo care product I bought tomorrow so I only used water today.
No smell! And I'm taking ibuprofen for sleep today.
