Super cool! Are you using the DD for your whipshading?

very nice, an awesome homage to that era. I like how dynamic trad. work is but find that the choice of imagery can sometimes be as restrictive as the palette. I think maybe that's why I tend to enjoy new school, neo-traditional a lil more. definitely rocked those pieces bro, very nice work. guaranteed to look awesome for years to come!:)
That is some pretty clean work! Very very nice indeed!
Attachment 22575Attachment 22576Attachment 22577 I have posted these before but I thought I would post them here too. I don't know, maybe these aren't "Traditional" enough but they are here now. Hahaha!
Rose Of No Mans Land looks pretty good dude..! Thanks for sharing..!Quote:

very nice
Solid work man
This might look simple but is so not. I respect people that can pull a clean tattoo like that. It shows they have the skills! Nice work

Lenert, that is some seriously clean work! I wish that I could get people to get that type of work around here. My question is, how do you get such great pics of your work? Camera, settings?
Oh and here are a some recent ones from me. Lined with coils. tattoome bulldog and color dk mini direct drive and mini cranker. Wish I could have gotten better pics.

I never do anything traditional. Maybe 2-3x a year I'll get asked...but it's super fun to do.

Not posted for a while but loving this thread.
Thanks a lot dude..! Your works and photos look nice to me..! I care about photos super much and its still so hard and stressful ,( Using iphone 5, standard light sometimes soften with tracing paper, little adjusting in iphone, no filters etc..! I prefer client laying not standing just to keep it steady.. btw daylight in shade is always the best light..! Taking photos of fresh tattoos is science dude.. I hate it ,DQuote:

best way to get really good photos is to get a camera with the ability to control shutter and aperture speed. I had a sony alpha dslr camera and it was awesome you could capture the true saturation and depth of the piece with ease with just a little understanding of how shutter/aperture works. lost everything in a fire so now only have an android phone and I cant get a good pic if my life depends on it. I see really good pics with iphone sometimes, but I miss my camera so much. for about 400 bucks you can get a real nice new camera that is awesome, there are some cheaper ones that will do the job also, but like with some machines, you want quality you sometimes have to pay for it.
Taking good pics have always killed me. Science it definitely is. Lenert and cagelavey, thanks for the replies and tips! I'd like to see this thread keep going!
I just started using rotary's a few weeks ago but heres a few traditional pieces I've done with them. There all lined with a Pike Mean Mugger, color was done with a Greatwave.
^^ all with dan kubin mini crankers btw ^^

here's few more recent pieces I've done, usually always with Dan Kubin's, a few of the newer ones lined with his Sidewinder, coloured/shaded with the MC's, and I think one or two I used a neotat vivace.
for some reason this one didn't go up with the last post?
Those are all real nice C. I think you can only post 5 pictures per post.
ahh, that makes sense, thanks dude! Thanks for the kind words too!Quote:
