just got a henry shader from scott, and i must say, its hands down the best shader i ever had. no bullshit.

it just does what its supposed to. solid single passes. so stoked. hooked.

agree with julio

like like like

thumbnails are always good of course

hey mario, funny thing i often realise though, is that the first rendering often is the ONE. so i go back to it if ever so often.

and no its never a waste of time anyways. learn learn learn

first and to me most important, is if i believe i can make the tattoo look better. some things are just too screwed up to be fixed.

its my name that will be on the piece from there on, so i got to feel i can make it look better and make the client happy.

i draw most of my stuff at home, if its not dead at the shop, then ill use my time there to do my 'fieldwork'.

i mostly spend alot of time on a drawing to get it to where i feel its got what we are looking for.(meaning i like it and feel the customer will be stoked)

if we are talking bigger stuff, sometimes ill do up to 6 sketches on top of each other. i have also begun to use sharpies for

the simple reason it makes my sketching feel 'looser'. ill go back to finer pen or pencil on the final drawing. sharpies in different colors are great.

as for walk ins, i love it and wish there would be more. as for hours, that one is kinda hard to answer, but i think i spend just as much if not more time drawing as tattooing.

Ben Grillo was in one episode. Where were you, Nico? Making a Cuatro Milpas run? :)

i was there. but kept out of the shots. incognico? quatros milpas, nah...im more into rolandos. :)

yes i know jack rudy did one of the cholas for sure

hey lochlan.

this would be teahupoo or chopes in tahiti. it sucks up so much, the bottom(front) of the wave is many feet below sea level. gnar for sure.

back at you!

heres one i did for the Dia de los muertos show at Flying Panther. shitty photo, taken after framed.

like mentioned, and i agree, disposables do not absorb vibration. to me it seems like they amplify it.

valerie, do you use red rats? i cant work without them

hey. like your stuff alot

welcome.how bout them gooners?

i liked how this is more a open, fun, and "easy" kinda forum. and that theres no tech stuff or for awhile no critiques either.

theres so much else around our craft to talk about, than tech etc....history to name one. and thats something everyone could

read and learn. i agree with dean.

welcome. keep trucking!

hey hoggster, yes it is. and thank you so much, hope to see you this year too?
