[@icedmangotea4267]

I mean it is bad because you are not achieving the intended result. But hey, one must know the rules before they can break the rules to achieve something unique!

[@patrickguyum]

Not inherently bad. Bad in the context of deep, solid, saturated black.

[@jeepmanxj]

Bad is failing to attain the result you want. In this case a dense packed color.

Stretching the skin is so important. My first Tattoo I got the artists didn't do that for most of it and it's very noticeable.

[@hyboirds1536]

So cool to see the advancement of tattoo artists. I recently got an insanely detailed tattoo of Guts in his wolf armor from the Berserk manga and it was mind boggling how far techniques had come since my last tattoo almost a decade ago. People never cease to amaze me with their creativity. Some artists even use the "bad" techniques to accomplish certain looks on tattoos that are meant to appear like comic strips or other art mediums. From gathering pigments made of berries and ash to poke into the skin with bones and sticks, to modern equipment with specialty inks and high tech stencil machines. Cant even imagine what the tattoos of the future will look like.

Careful with that, if someone is annoyed just enough, they might bite back with "Then you do tattoo yourself since you know how to do this" or ask if you're an artist. Hint: Im not being sarcastic, I just know people will do something like this if annoyed enough to where they stop giving a crap about their jobs.

You're only the 2nd other person I've heard ever know what holidays, in painting, are. I worked doing general home repair, my boss, an older Italian-American guy, taught me how to paint with a roller so you don't leave holidays all over the place.

[@lawrencevaughn9149]

This is a great way of showing the statement, you have to learn the rules to be able to break them, because I know there's probably artists out there that know that this is the rule but because they want a specific technique or style done they break that rule to get the effect they want

[@kingdansk642]

Watching reminds how much I actually enjoy the shading part of tattoos😂 I genuinely enjoy the feeling

[@arininquotes8396]

I kinda like the one with the "holidays" but of course you'd want that to be an intentional coloring/shading effect, not just a bad job at color filling.

[@YashaVatrushka]

I'm a japanese watercolour user working on very thin rice paper, and I have been lucky enough to tattoo people. I find the way to apply colour on this paper extremely similar to tattooing

[@JinglePeeny]

The break in the shading from going too fast is actually used when tattooing a comic book or manga panel. I have a couple of those, and it looks amazing. Just goes to show that one mistake can be used efficiently to achieve a different favorable outcome.

[@seoyeonsilly]

i’m not a tattoo artist but i do enjoy getting tattoos, & personally i love the way the “holiday” looks

[@tofinilith_]

Thank you for saying that about the fake skins you get off places like Amazon 😭🙏 My colored inks, and even black ink, just appear so much less saturated on the skins than they do anywhere else and I’m always worried that I’m the problem, not the skins

[@angryfluteperson]

I recently got a tattoo with some solid black parts and it’s good to know my tattoo artist did it right… I couldn’t see her doing it but those small circles sure hurt like a buttcheek on a stick! But it was totally worth it

[@NMSTarre]

Further point, stretching the skin will make the tattoo property adapt to when you begin to grow and when your skin begins to stretch from said growing

[@Safran282]

If someone could engineer needles/ tech (idfk man) that didn't require circular motions for shading that would remove a significant amount of the discomfort of getting tattoos. Dont get me wrong i think its 100% worth it and manageable, and im not sure that could even ever be possible, but it would be nice

[@maxkrepps9474]

the angled version looks pretty good, and more efficient than the circles, is there something wrong with it?

[@arnaldovazquez9917]

I thought stretching the skin was a bad idea since you are putting tension to it, and once you stop putting tension into the skin, it'll make the art look crooked or wonky. Am I mistaken?

[@postlobotomyaventurine]

he said these are techniques for solid black (only), no? :)

[@littlerileyg]

As long as you're following the stencil it won't turn out wonky. The stencil lines might look weird while you're stretching but once you let go it's all back to normal and your lines are nice and solid! Always always stretch the skin, it'll save you from having to go over areas again.

[@WeenieHutJr69420]

How do you know you’re doing good below the pooled up ink until after you’ve wiped? Doesn’t that mean if you made a mistake you’d have to go back, and would that cause any issues? It’s hard to articulate into words the way my mind can’t comprehend something so seemingly simple.

[@koleratliff4527]

I'm pretty sure it's all about practice and confidence.

[@kaitlinwhite4918]

I understand what you're asking, I think you articulated your question really well and that it's a good question as well. If I had to guess it would depend on the level of damage already done to the skin, if it's too irritated then you'd just have to let it heal and get it redone but if it's not bad they could probably go over it again to fix the issue. It all depends on the artist ig.

For anyone with low pain tolerance that have tattoos, how painful were they? I’m thinking of getting a small one for my 18th birthday

[@fluffypanda9890]

I've had 8 done so far, it all depends on where you want to get them. If you Google tattoo pain areas you'll see roughly where it'll hurt more than others. Usually anywhere close to the bone can be quite sensitive eg, hands and feet. Though I'll say if you get your inner wrist tattooed it can be a little painful, numbing cream is always an option if you're feeling a bit overwhelmed. Just make sure you've put it on before they start! 😁

Fake skins are good if you wanna practice how to hold the pen and getting comfortable with it however you cannot really practice shading styles at all. For example If you can whip shade on real skin it doesn't mean you can do the same on fake skin and vice versa. It's better than nothing but nothing more.

I have a 50/50 batman joker tatto on my arm I got simultaneously as my partner got a different tatto from the same place.
