Tattoo Session #2 at InBorn NYC. Ray Jerez inks the scales on my half-sleeve dragon. Each individual scale was drawn on the dragon. This session was 4 1/2 hours long and did not hurt.

Scales healed after Session #4:

  • id say he used grey was to outline the scales then looks like he's shading with 3 rs which is that small it would appear to some as a liner but judging by the fact he's getting a smooth blend and consistency id say it was a round shader! besides even if it was a liner i believe cory from la ink uses a 1 round liner to shade small areas! so if it works for you do it not every artist adapts the same style..

  • i doubt its a liner...nice soundin machine...i dig it i need to see the finished piece...from this view i dont think i like the style.

  • @neckha1r i agree with you i would have use a 7 mag but thats just what in used to.

  • @gtasarpguy

    *sigh* whatever.... And you're right, I don't know how to tattoo, just like you don't even know who Bob Tyrell is. seriously dude, I've got a massive clientele and ps: I don't refer to shading as "raking" or that it's "too wide." I myself can stay inside the freakin' lines LOL jesus

  • @Bijou77 how is it bad to shade with a liner those are small scales so you wouldn't want to use a mag or a flat shader for it the rake would be to wide obviously someone doesn't know how to tattoo i.e. you

  • What type of needle did you use?

  • saw the flickr pix.. sick tats u got there.. u gonna get a color for the coy fish?

  • Looks like he's using a round shader...I prefer round shaders over mags...but anyway, I doubt he's using a liner to shade.

  • a rs 3?

  • oh wow...did i just hurt somebody's feelings? lol my bad...
