Guidelines for Giving Feedback
Guidelines for Giving FeedbackPlease 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?

QUOTE (Old Skool @ Nov 7 2009, 11:03 AM)  Very nice JD, that looks well. Thanks man.  QUOTE (J.D. @ Nov 7 2009, 10:04 AM) Thumb, and sound. Putting my thumb on the nipple over time, over and over and over, every time I changed something up. It took trail and error over time to where I know what hit is too much, too little, or just enough. It's one of those many things in tattooing that you have to just learn to feel on your own. Pig skin man. Hours and hours and hours on pig skin is what taught me.  Oh, and I don't really pay attention to the stalling. It's more of the hit I feel on my thumb. My machine sounds like it's stalling when I'm in the middle of my whip, but I know from the hit I felt on my thumb, and the feedback I get through the machine while it's in the skin that it's hitting just hard enough to be fully penetrating. In the latest update on my 1/2 sleeve, I upped the volts quite a bit more with the green and yellow steam. That particular ink from Intenze goes in awesome, but still no where near as easy as Kuro black. So the volts were upped a bit to pound the ink in. But not too much. Just enough to get the ink to stick a bit easier. But still soft enough to also be able to build up some subtleties in the gradients from green to yellow. Hope that helps. -------------------- |

If we're talking about the 1/2 sleeve, it's been all in the tube since the areas have been small enough. When I hit the background with purples and blues, I'm gonna premix to make sure it's all consistent. -------------------- |
