Hey Karl! hate to bug you, do you knowif thats the pulse solution he has hooked up to the mag? Sweet portrait, and bob is a great artist btw.

Too bad youtube lets any swinging dick put his two cents on this. The tattoo looks great, also nice to see how a master puts down a graywash!

@BlackJag92 sorry for the late reply, it's not a pulse it's a custom made made machine

p.s. the guy's skin is obviously sensitive in that area...thats why the tattoo is red and badlooking

[PremiumKarl]

@youngstarrzzz you're right and it was actually pretty bad skin.

And for some of the know it alls here, the guy's Asian and had fairly dark skin, hence it's a bit darker to make it stand out. If you knew somthing about tattooing then you should know that the final healed up result counts and that it needs to stay as good as the skin allows it for as long as it allows it.

@xxsurcentralxx tattoos heal lighter so you cant talk about over doing it coz you havnt seen the finished piece..you dont know what ur on about.

@PremiumKarl That looks like its going to heal good and look great. I didnt read any of the comments made by others. I've been tattooing for about 18 years now and this is the best work I've seen on here.

@youngstarrzzz could also b because i dont see him use petrolium jelly at all through the whole vid.

anyone know what that backround song is called ?

[ljwartuk]

think this is an old video you should check out his recent ones there is no redness at all like were hes @ LA ink check it out in my favourite list.you can see the tone of the ink because he just grazes the skin with the tips with no blood...

[ljwartuk]

@chevyck95 thats bob tyrrell don't think you can give any advice to him ...lol

[DarkenInk]

Great work brother, Id suggest to anyone who wants to get "free information" to take an actual art class with a fine art teacher, not just a tattoo artist. Tattooing is not just picking up a machine and calling yourself and artist, Research all aspects of art then do it....Oh and before you fuck up someone get some pig skin, google it!
