IzzyBizzy Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Got a shoulder piece done on the 14th. At this time, I'm not getting color or shading. I like the negative space. And hope it conveys the softness and femininity I was going for and doesn't just look unfinished. Now I just need to figure out if I want to continue with black a gray pieces. I have an absolute love for neo-traditional tattoos. I'm just a little unsure how to mix my pieces.

I have an absolutely love for neo-traditional tattoos. I'm just a little unsure how to mix my pieces. it looks unfinished thats not black and grey - thats an outline and neo traditional is more than outlines now if you like just getting outline work done then god bless but i think you need to take a minute to consider what you you really want if you really like negative space - then stop getting tattooed sorry - not trying to be an ass - just think you need some honest feedback beez, chrisnoluck, blackdots and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=307#findComment-113745 Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's what I've wanted for a long time so I guess I'm ok with having it look unfinished. What I was saying is that I will eventually get more tattoos and now I just need to decide if I want them to be black/gray or if I'm going the neo-traditional route. At this time, I still have the option to color and/or shade it (or leave it as is) depending on which style I end up going in. Thank you for your feedback. :) SeeSea, rufio and marley mission 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=307#findComment-113752 Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeeSea Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Wow - I don't check in for a couple days and madness ensures! @SStu - that is beautiful and I love how it flows with all the negative space. Nice one - she's a lucky one. @pidjones - cool! I'm so happy you walked out with one you love right off the bat, after your frustrations with the faked line. @bedoktime - killing it. That is a most awesome panther - I can't stop laughing! @L2DB - I am so glad you came back with the final tattoo - you should go back to your first thread and put it there, too to complete the thread. I wondered how that would turn out, and I really like how the woodblock came through, especially at the bottom. Are you talking about what looks like snow covered mountains? I took that to be clouds in the sky at first glance. As for the shading, one technique for something like this - a scene - is to fade it off on the edges. If you have hard edges around the outside, it can make the scene look like a picture, or seem like you are looking out a window rather than being out in the scene.

hogg Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Matt Arriola pantherized my last big spot yesterday at Spotlight. He couldn't quite get it to fit, so he decided to add flames. Always a good call. I have some inner thigh/tenderloin spots and a few tiny spaces on my legs, but if I said "I'm done" now, I don't think anyone would fault me. But we all know that I'm not done. cookietruck, 49531, Tornado6 and 35 others 38 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/12-latest-tattoo-lowdown/?page=307#findComment-113826 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you were showing Chad your sugar skulls I knew I had seen them on here before but I felt awkward saying "hey, I know those tattoos from the internets" plus you were with friends and I didn't wanna hold you up. Next time I'm in Austin I need to make a week of it, I woke up at 3 that morning in Colorado, 33 degrees at my house, off the plane into 90 and humid, and then of course I drove home in a blizzard yesterday.
