Very nice, I enjoy seeing tattooists working in other mediums. I learned to appreciate water color hanging around Ernie Carafa...his whole Point Pleasent shop was done in water color (all the flash), he even redid some Cherry Creek as a joke. Had the whole Cap Coleman thing going on.

FW, Speedball, B-5 Quills, FTW.

[gangstajay]

fuck that speed ball.. homie nothing works better then the dr. martins Radiant concentrated water colors.. and spit shading.. I have used all the different water colors and nothin comes close.. so easy to work with... I use sumi black tattoo ink for the black

[Gabetexas]

haha Thats cool. I love the speed ball because nothing comes close to being super saturated and dense as those. I like the drs, but i always go back to FW.

Ps. Spit shading is gross. lol

It's sweet..but i think since you decided to outline it maybe you should bold the lines and smooth them a little there a little sketchy and tightening them up will make this go from a 7 to a 9.5 or 10....

[Gabetexas]

hahahaha

[Gabetexas]

wait, me?
