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?

It’s come up that critiques are a little too lenient on tattoos that need a little help. Here are some questions that need to be asked when analyzing a tattoo. You can even copy and paste these and use the subjects to answer how the person did or didn’t do well on a certain area on their piece.
This is far more professional then “ wow that’s awesome” or “ that sucks sell your shit on EBAY.” Tattoo Critique: Line work: does the artist seem to have grasped the technique of applying smooth consistent lines. Do they flow with no shakes, skips or scratchy places in the tattoo. Are the lines a full dark black where they need to be? Fill: Are all color and black areas a consistent color with no light, overworked or inconsistent areas? Shading: Does the tattoo show good gradients from light to dark and transition from color to color? Color Harmony: Does the tattoo have colors that compliment each other not seeming too dark or light? Position/Size: Does the tattoo seem to be the right size for the area; is it centered and lined up? Does it go with the flow of the body? Over all composition: What is your final feeling good or bad about the tattoo can it be improved or it a lost cause. How is the end result now that you have taken the piece apart? This is what should be considered when critiquing a tattoo. If all of these are considered you can tell weather or not they succeeded. Take into consideration of subject matter and disregard that. Just because you hate skulls and butterflies doesn’t make it a bad tattoo. -------------------- |
