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?

New Rule, Regarding Prison style tattoos |
Dec 7 2007, 05:19 PM
Post

|
|
From now on any posts regarding Prison Style or Homey Made tattoos will be removed. If any member is seen promoting or doing tattoos with a prison style set up, that post will be deleted.
Any practices being used that are not being done to as professional a standard as possible will be deleted. Anyone condoning un-professional or makeshift short cuts to applying, caring for, set up or sterilization will be deleted. If anyone has a problem with this and does not conform to this will be given one warning only and then you will be deleted and your IP address will be blocked. If you come to me or any of the moderators with a rude attitude about this you will be deleted. THIS IS A WARNING AND VERY SERIOUS This forum is out of the realm of other professional forums in the fact that the info here is for the Professional hopeful. There is info here you would not get anywhere else. Most of you wouldn’t even be able to post your work in other forums without being kicked out. Please respect these rules so we can achieve a standard that is equal with other Tattoo forums. -------------------- |

Totally agree Mark, 100%.....But have you noticed on the home page, there is an area called resources with links to other sites. There is a link to a site that shows you how to do home made tattoos.
I don't know if it's new as I only just found it. I personaly think it gives a bad image to this site. Maybe it's supposed to be a joke, I couldn't see anything at all funny about it though. I found it really irresponsible and horrifying. |

VERY GOOD rule. To some it might not seem fair for various reasons that I probably wouldn't agree with, but this is a very unique board with a lot of helpful people sharing info that you just can't get anywhere else. In order to keep peeps on the right track and to send a message that unsafe tattooing will not be tolerated this rule should be STRICTLY adhered to. Props. Almost everyone should see the logic and I doubt that there will be any complaints.

ok im not going to argue but what if some1 post's a tat how do you judge it, i remember some of my first might have been seen as prison tattoo's and thank god that i wasn't blocked, as for homemade guns forgivin is a champ at making them, you can buy rotary machines and i've met people who swear by them, i just really think that this changes the whole persona of this site, i remember using a home made gun and pro
s would be like give up you never be a tattooist, i just think that banning people like this would just further the damage done beginner's, i would personaly like to try and help these ppl cause i've been there and would've loved to have support, im sure seeing the lines dones with a real amchine in here would incourage them to buy a machine, i don't just feels like now were to good for beginners? help for all is what made this forum what it is today i think and set it apart from other forums -------------------- when all else fails poke him in the eye

Bottom line. If the equipment can not be sterilized proper and follow 100% of health guidelines we should not support it. Reguardless of what machines we all used years ago. Oh, and Keyzink1 I would not call the machines forgiven makes "home made" They look Professional to me. I belive that they are reffering to the classic walk-man, guitar sting machines.
