How do you go about picking tattoos I made entry’s months ago

[@petarmanolov7429]

I canny stop looking at your guest antlers 😆

[@Boyso5407]

Ikr. Did no one notice that when they started filming

[@zyrf1167]

Wow i am glad you got my tattoo in there. mine is that slime girl! Honestly it's muted, but also i think the lighting did no justice. i just did a bathroom phone pic haha. I have old photos that i took when i first got it, and it is not as shiny as the artists one. It's def not hot pink

[@SpiveyNatas]

How much different now from new would you say the colors are? I do like the tattoo.

[@zyrf1167]

@@SpiveyNatas not much at all. It's still really good. Slightly dim like any other tattoo. It's obviously not that neon hot pink.

[@SpiveyNatas]

@@zyrf1167 Great to hear. I can't seem to get a good picture of mine either.

[@lolacarter2833]

The hot pink is a photoshop thing. Look at the leg colors in the back, the fresh is hot pink and so is your leg. I actually like the healed better. If you get anything done, just add a black outline.

loved this. In a click bait, instant gratification, "what's next?" culture, it's refreshing to watch to experts take their time and really dissect something they are passionate about

[@milkamoussse]

They all do that, you just watch the "culture" videos

[@beentheredonethat5908]

​@@milkamoussseI hate those videos, or the tattoo enthusiasts videos. I'd rather watch a beginner artist try things on practice skin, then listen to someone who has tattoos talk trash about something. It's very true anyone can tell bad art or a sh1t tattoo, but it drives me nuts when people who don't knkw anything talk about good art, that doesn't know the difference between different styles of work. I watched a girl the other day bash a realistic painting piece, that was done amazing , because there weren't any dark bold lines to outline the work lol. I've been learning how to do those lately, and I'm a good tattoo artist , but they are actually really hard to do, especially for someone who isn't that sort of artist, it really is another level of tattooing, so to listen to her ramble really set me off lol.

[@Donkeyiser]

I think the healed photo in the first one is taken in quite different lighting than the original - it looks like orange lighting which can make colours look less saturated. Look at the difference in the skin around the photo

[@oz_jones]

Definitely

[@justinpresnell1011]

You are correct. The heald I'm sure looks nice. The filter used for the healed photo was just the wrong choice. The gold and the black are muted in the photo which wouldn't actually happen.

[@hamishkilpatrick9933]

First one is a clear example of photography differences. First shot was definitely polarized which pumps contrast especially with warm colours. Healed photo is in warm, low lighting with a phone. The phone has thrown off the colour balance, bet it looks better than the healed photo in real life.

[@Spekor]

also i have a feeling the ambient light was warm coded where as shop lights are usually cool coded lights. which changes things alot

[@leisureliam]

I bet it's gonna be almost gone I'm 10 years

[@LucasRestrepoSylva]

Portugal being in South America is the greatest example of American education system 😂

[@olynthodantas]

I wanted to say it like, reeeeeeally bad hahaha. They do speak portuguese so, maybe Brasil?

[@raowut]

Being a Brazilian living in Portugal, I noticed this video committed two serious offenses for the Portuguese: - Confusing them with Brazilians. - Pronouncing his name in Spanish. These are the two things they hate the most. Hahaha.

[@romeoslover817]

do you know, in all fairness, though, I had geography back in 1979, and I knew where everything was at that time. The country boundaries have changed so much that I have no clue where all countries and where all the countries are. I am assuming that most of the artists who do these great tattoos are much younger than me and did not get the type of education that I got. By the way, I am 60 years old.

[@warrenrose7101]

That pink girl tatt when healed was under heavy yellow light, not saying the first was untouched but the skin tones are completely different

[@nevermindmyparentsimthepunk]

I was thinking the same thing because the carpet in my room is that color when I have a yellow light no natural light

[@DiabolicalAngel]

Gian is not only one of the best in the business, he's a lovely person. Just like you, Pony!

[@aj32769]

Great personality! The both of them. Really enjoyable video

[@TheLukanda]

Portugal, well known capital of South America! 😂😂😂

[@thetattooeddocent]

I came here to say this. Maybe geography isn't his strong point

[@jazzyb4656]

And in the Portuguese language, you pronounced the J in Jose, not like in Spanish where you pronounce the J as A H.

[@thetattooeddocent]

@@jazzyb4656 right you are!

[@bullsheeptattoo]

He said that because the artist himself is Colombian, Javier Franco, who is based in Portugal. I (the collector) am from Portugal, that's why the confusion.

[@jazzyb4656]

@@bullsheeptattoo why was he calling the artist Josè then?

[@Maddreck]

GIAN we were rooting for you all the way through Ink Master man! my little brother is still upset you didn't win :D he refused to watch anymore of the show with us afterwards lol

[@Mawae602]

That Triwizard Cup is from Harry Potter and if you look up references, the lettering is funky there as well. I would have changed it but maybe the client wanted it to be closer to the original

[@carissalynnftw]

The T isn’t even fully on the cup! The left side of it is just hanging out midair

[@Mawae602]

⁠@@carissalynnftwI think the T is fully within the outline of the cup. That bit on the left, outside the line, appears to be part of the “bubbling effect the goes around the entire tattoo. It does make it look like a mistake though, the artist should have drawn those bubbles so that they don’t line up with the lettering.

[@lyrajaded]

Speaking of skin breaks: I love to face paint, and one of my favorite things is to go face painting at Pride. When I get to paint the poc inclusive rainbow on brown skin, I always leave the brown stripe as their colour. It makes people very happy to see themselves as literally a part of flag, and more importantly, part of the community :)

[@CaptPolybius]

It's little things like this that make big differences in the world.

[@reddeadandangryatcapitalism]

[@Valkairiexo]

[@maeverobertson1108]

On the second tattoo, I did not see flames coming out of the cup. I saw a boiling bubbling potion in the cup. It looks more liquid than fiery.

[@arisunohana]

I honestly really enjoyed this more than others despite already enjoying the collector submissions! Thank you for making this video!

[@rmpdesigns9893]

Though the fresh photo most likely had some color adjustment to remove redness at minimum , the lighting difference between the fresh/healed photo on the first piece was a major issue. A fresh/healed example photos always needs to be taken in the same exact light settings for true results.

[@rappinnate]

The first tattoo color difference, notice the skin tone in both pictures. The second photo is taken under a very warm/yellow light. The first photo was under florescent (cool) light.

[@writeonshell]

Totally agree! I have an artist I'm working on a sleeve with who is a master of skin breaks. I've got Discworld on my back and the elephants and turtle just pop because of the skin breaks she used to highlight certain sections.

The indentation of the pinky is helping to sell the fact that it's a slime girl. Love these videos man!

[@benallbaugh]

Great show

[@amehayami934]

The first one is supposed to be a slime girl. A monster girl that is made out of slime or jelly. Most likely found in Anime more. And has the ability to change shapes or make their limbs change shapes and can make them selves liquid, semi solid or solid.

[@jordandowney7018]

Oh no worries there pony I’m already following my boy Randy. One of my favorite tattoo artists of all time

[@bullsheeptattoo]

The sick dragon sleeve was made by the awesome Javier Franko, one of the best neotrad artist in the hole world to me!!

[@erikkibler3466]

I think the indentation by her pinky you guys were talking about is a piece of the bottom of her hair.though I agree with you that it should be clear what things are.

Understandable when people don't know they speak Portuguese in Brazil. But thinking they speak Spanish in Portugal is a whole new level of American Education fails. Pay your teachers, America!!

[@TeezyTattoos]

12:00 I appreciate an artist having the balls to say this 😂 especially with flames sometimes you just need a good reference

[@laurenescalada5724]

I have a whole sleeve by Randy. I had an existing cat portrait by Michela Bottin and he seamlessly finished off the rest of my arm with my other two cats. The majority of the elements were free handed on my arm to make it all flow perfectly. His work is always phenomenal.

[@coleeg69]

My tattoo artist is also bald with a similar voice, so I trust you 😆 🤣

[@DirtyDee123]

That neo trad dragon was f***ing dope!

[@ItIsWhatItIs8120]

I have an Irish dragon on my leg and it's not huge it's considered a small tattoo but my yellow and white is still bright yellow and white and green if I'm honest is still bright even after 25 years old , I have to say it's either the ink or the artist because the colors are so different .

[@grimnocturneband]

On that first one, it's not a belly button, it's a 'jelly' button 😂😂

[@CartoonWeasel]

2:46 the pinky part: its her hair. Her hair is passing in her hands and thats the end of it. Weirdly done but if you follow the hair, it matches up.

[@rodbarrett1581]

Have some flames in a huge piece on my side. The day of the flames were so bright and saturated that it was glowing. When I took patches off 3 days later it was just orange. All the red and glowing effect was gone. Still looks good but was disappointed when I saw that. I went thru an extreme amount of pain for that to just disappear as it was on my stomach.

[@jonathanyoungblood8676]

Randy works up at Tyler Nolan’s shop haha crazy I see him on KZbin in five or shop videos

[@KenKennedy-pz5xo]

The way Gian sits his head perfectly so the neon antlers line up to look like they're coming from his head

[@Alyciataft]

Couod the first one be because of the skin? Ive got pieces with coloured outlines and it healee great xx

[@zhaine1932]

With the first one I feel like the setting and camera quality plays a big part in making it look so different. If the artist got the client back in for some photos it would be a better test

[@RA-tj8lv]

Gee on, looks like he has Horne's!!! To cool!!!😂😂❤

[@Aishala]

I am entertained that it looks like Gian has glowing white antlers because of how hes lined up with the mad rabbit light.

[@Leatherargento]

I hope you have this guest back sometime!

[@pnorm69]

The reason why the first tattoo looks so different in the healed photo is because the picture was taken with a light that has a warmer tone than the one used in the fresh image! That’s why it looks so muddy

[@bassline5633]

Loved this episode, hated that lute cherub.... Oh, every time. 😂 I want a sicker, Wickider, expense tooodtat. Wish me luck!

Firstly….You guys are so sweet together… (Will I be invited to the wedding?!) 💗 Secondly……yeah… I have some aqua gradient on one of my Tatts that is a bit patchy…but neo-traditional and I still adore 🥰

[@peregrinmiratrix4137]

For the cup I think the outline is the same thickness but the camera is closer to the top. My guess is the collector took their own photo and since it’s on the back of their leg they didn’t get a great angle.

[@kimberlybullard9076]

At 31:35....the dragon with the Geisha woman tattoo...LOOKS like "Moe" from The Simpsons!!! The bulging eyes & brow!! ITS MOE!!

[@aryabolton2949]

[@onlyhalfbad333]

6:53 It looks like the client didn’t use sunblock and the sun destroyed it. It’s very important to not sit in the sun without protecting your skin.

[@DrownedPirate]

would adding another color to the purple help it not become closer to black? Like if it had a little blue or pink in it?

[@lilytomes22]

you guys should do apprentice portfolio reviews!!

[@forallthestupidshit3550]

Thise videos are great. The fans sometimes get a little too hype on apprentice tats.

[@simondanielssonmusic]

In the fresh photo of the first tattoo it's pretty obvious that the artist had increased the saturation and contrast in post. So it's kind of unfair to compare that processed photo to the photo of the healed tattoo which looks very raw.

[@Togepod]

gian looks like hollow knight throughout the video w the sign in the bg lol

[@ghostcat8244]

Can it also due to the lighting when taking a picture of the tattoo? Cause some my tattoos won’t show a true full color without a sunlight or a really good lighting area to pop from. Least from my experience but sometime it can be the artist fault error.

[@bushbolles]

I still don't understand the purple/blackish line on the belly of the bubblegum/slime girl. Looks like a smudge?

[@theBLARGSTORM]

I think it's the belt seen through the other side

[@DetectiveTrupo203]

Blargstorm is right, it's her belt. She's see through since she's made out of slime

[@TJ-cr8id]

[@loremipsum685]

Please, please, lets do one or more episodes where we critique Pony's tatts. Please!!

[@FinnySpam]

the first tattoo made me just go "tradtional lasts the best no wonder that didnt last" i know nothing about tattoos i just watch u n kirk fagan constantly and have learned a bit from that. those black outlines are suuuper mportant. glad all of mine are outlined in black

[@AvgARBuilder]

Feather in some red and hit a harder outline and it will look 10 times better at 7:30

[@Samacama1982]

Oh 💩 “that’s a funny tooth” bahahaha 😂

[@PepsiObsessi]

I have to wonder if that first one WAS red mixed with mostly white so after it faded it was left with just a small amount of really desaturated pigment. I agree that it might look more pink if it had a black outline, but the outline is still very much visible and dark, and the contrast in the shading is still good. The color seems to either just not have been applied very well or just really diluted in one way or another.

[@YearleyDrummer93]

This first tat the left hand is melting 😢😮

[@Herenoeviltattoos]

Triwizard cup i feel like there is some warping of the image it looks like a calf so from the ball of the calf wrapping down to the ankle area. Especially when you look at the second image that cup looks waayyy more solid in that image in the first picture i agree with everything else said

[@Uniquely-Unoriginal]

That last one, I tried for most of that segment to figure out the head of the dragon and I could not see how it worked. I came up with 1.5 cat heads (the one looking like a frightened screaming cat from like the Simpsons or like) with the teeth in between the heads, but no dragon head.

[@matt3477]

Just a thought but I think it would be cool to give tattoos a rating out of ten. Because sometimes the critique can make it sound like you don't like that tattoo when really you think it's pretty good :)
