  • Great portrait and quote lack of tips.

  • Biggest mistakes in Portrait work , Over lining and lack of Shading Technique . too many people jumping skill levels because they see it on T.V . Know your limits and push them accordingly . Progression is a slow process .

  • Very nice portrait work , how long have you been slingin ink is that Kumi grey wash ink ?

  • oh my gosh the Dracula one was awesome!!!

  • @philly442 "plastic wrap" can trap IN bacteria.

  • REALLY NICE WORK!,MMMM A QUESTION... SHADE INK IS DESTILATED WATER AND INK? IT'S LIKE USE WATERCOLOR?

  • thanks for the tips..................

  • @philly442 I had a tattoo do the same thing. I was using A & D ointment. I quit using that and just starting using a moisterizing lotion. Not much, just enough to keep the tat from drying out. It cleared up within about 3 days. Did you get a different color you have never had in a tattoo before? That's what happened to me. I was allergic to a certain blue dye that was used in the ink. Take some benadryl and switch to a lotion for very dry skin. That's what my artist told me to do and it worked.

  • if someone could help me please, well I just got a half sleeve done on saturday Tuesday, March 15, 2011 on my forearm and well I did as followed for the first 3 day I washed my tattoo with anti bacterial soap then applied Aquaphor, did this 3 times a day and washed the old ointment off before putting on new, now I wrapped my tattoo with plastic wrap at night to prevent infection but now on (day 3) my tattoo has pimples on it and should i keep applying aquaphor or what? someone please help!

  • very good work, mind if i ask you for some tips? just the basic tips in portrait work?
