Tattoo Artist BREAKDOWNS: Ralf Nonnweiler

[@cameronwilson3577]

I have two appointments with him coming up. So excited!!

[@yerfriendd]

how was he. do u recommend? hugo feist?

[@kevinstrosnider1545]

Just incredible man! I can't even do a portrait with pencil and paper that good! You know I may never be as good as this or yourself Chris but I still use it to inspire myself and to build on my own style. Thank you for another awesome video and as always much RESPECT and God bless bro.

[@jatats7743]

His gradients are so clean... crisp and soft where needed. His use of contrast is very convincing. When you say mag work, do you mean a flat mag? I also wonder if he uses any water wash lines for certain distinct features like eyes or hair... portraits have never been my strong suit but I would love to remedy that some day...

[@shanebowles4854]

What an artist his blends are insane, hope your good brother

[@MyINKredibleJourney]

Brother, amazing content. Straight away, from first minutes you are the best tattoo related channel on YT.

[@heinzbecker5159]

Incredible details, BUT how will the tattoos look after 5 years of skin ageing and and sunlight? These Tattoos are only done for the photo and the first few weeks after tattooing.

[@aleserranotattoo]

O already ser tattoos like that after 7 years and they are really good, its about technic, not tattoo style

[@Antonio-id9ld]

You should break down his tones and how/where he uses them. That would be so helpful

[@chrisrobins2705]

Figure it out on paper with pencils. Full saturation it will be easier to understand if you practice it yourself . That's the best way

[@bostjanloncaric]

Larf is so good artist,so clean tattoos

[@incel_aspoleczny]

on round shader is harder to find point of skin so probaly its low voltage RL with soft push machine.

[@spblackpearl]

how long such minute and soft details stays , hope all of them are on second layer

[@alkatraz706]

no wonder he's one of david vega's biggest inspiration

[@ChrisRavage]

True that

[@Max-dm3vg]

Does ne1 know what machine he uses?????

[@froufroudeluxe]

From an illustrators perspective, you can tell he has his drawing fundamentals down to a T

[@hifi8844]

Would you say round shaders are a lot better than round liners you know for hair fur details ?

[@ChrisRavage]

They can be yes

[@chrisrobins2705]

Think of a round shader as a dull pencil. It will create soft lines if used correctly . Practice drawing use pencils .. micron pens.. you will find alot of similarities with tattoo needles

The cheddar??

[@djs9315]

Something to aim for hey 😵‍💫👌🏻

[@ChrisRavage]

For sure

[@CalvinSuper]

There’s alot of smooth filtering aswell….

[@calvinblack2167]

It’s very good don’t get me wrong but it don’t look like this in real life, a lot of top artist plus artists filer there tattoos to make it look more saturated, darker and smoother.

[@ChrisRavage]

I’ve seen Ralfs work in person..trust me when I say this is the standard he puts out

[@calvinblack2167]

@@ChrisRavage that’s cool man, I’m not slaying he’s work one bit lol he’s a mother f..king G lol but I know a lot of tattooist filter their work lol

[@ChrisRavage]

@@calvinblack2167 100% bro, filtered work is the biggest pandemic in the industry and it won’t get better tbh

[@calvinblack2167]

@@ChrisRavage yeh man it’s a shame… great channel btw man :)

[@Recordman42]

Some of his work are done in 2 sessions , the second after healing the first, blending cannot go forever in tattoo, the skin does not take it.

[@pawnzrtasty]

His technique is awesome but I don’t like portraits. I personally would rather a piece of art not a picture.
