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?

i think what the rule towards "prison tattoos" means is tattoos done without caution, concideration, and a pro. machine.

The encouragement towards pigskin and the piggy/fruit challenge is what it is about for us newbies, Hopefully pigskin pieces are shown before really bad real ones.

completely agree with the no prison tats. Yeah starting out as a new guy to tattooing without any of the proper equipment makes it harder, but that shouldn't mean we resort to jimmy-rigging our own machines just to get our skills out there. Patience and hardwork is the foundation of all apprenticeships, and so should be applied to all up-and-comers (myself included, lol.) I don't know how many hundreds of sheets of tattoo designs, paintings, (and pot to be honest, lol, i was younger then, lol) i had to sell to be able to afford my own equipment, and am really glad i did, cuz i've got a lot more aprreciation for my tools than i did when i was hooking up guitar string machines to toy railroad track power supplies (you know, the kind you turn the lever to make the train go faster? lol, bad days, good memories). All in all, i guess i'm just saying that to make it in this business, you should really set out to do it the right way

I joined this forum to learn the correct way!!
I am not interested in learning backyard work. Every now and then you just have to put your foot down to keep order. I am 110% happy with the forum and agree with Marks direction in keeping this forum on the professional side of the tracks. KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK EVERYONE. |

i'm all for the no jailhouse tats as far as the equip and sterilization etc goes. with that said i was concerned this had to do with a certain jailhouse style that some tats posses... but yeah if i wanted to do jailhouse or get jailhouse i'd go back to jail...

show us all how to safely sterilize a walkman machine and we'll talk. i did my first tattoos in prison myself, but there's no excuse for using ghetto ass walkman machines when you are on the streets and have access to safe clean gear. that's the whole point man. i knew a guy in the joint who was amazing,he was a comic artist on the streets . guy could do anything,portraits ,whatever. but you have no choice but to use those ghetto machines in prison. this site is about learning safe tattooing. its kind of priority one here .
