> Guidelines for Giving Feedback

Please consider the following when giving feedback on a member's tattoo:

Line work: Does the artist seem to have grasped the technique of applying smooth, consistent lines? Do the lines flow with no shakes, skips or blow-outs?

Fill: Are all color and black areas a consistent color?

Shading: Does the tattoo show smooth gradients and transition effectively from light to dark?

Color Harmony:
Does the tattoo have colors that compliment each other?

Placement/Size:
Does the tattoo seem to be the right size for the area chosen? Is it centered and lined up with any other work? Does it go with the flow of the body?

Design: How well does the overall design work? Does it have sound composition? Does it feel well thought out?

Feedback: What areas could be improved?

could be many things mate you should start by telling us what you did, machines, miztures, speed,, etc etc,,

i have the same problem but i use fast machines for all my work, what needles are you using? think of the differences of equipment and techneque between the two,,?


seems a bit like your machine wasnt running as good and you had to work to get it in,, which always means you put more and more each pass,,

maybe your ink is getting old and its time for some fresh shit, also are you aren't, you should probably be shaking up the bottle to disperse the pigment more evenly through the mix as it might be settling to the bottom, hence the results you are seeing.
