cltattooing Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 @RoryQ I think it's pretty uncommon here too, but I see it from time to time. More of a fan of the darker stuff myself, but I also think that stuff takes a lot of finesse to look good. But when it looks good it looks awesome! Bart Bingham has a 20 year old biomechanical sleeve that still looks great, come to think of it.

SlickSquid Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 He's good ...what's to really argue about? (In regarding Myke Chambers) never understood folks beef with that cat I think that Traditional Tattoos are the shit....didn't at first but I came to really love 'em...I like Neo Traditional more but it is what it is. Japanese is always some good shit too! My biggest issue I have is getting either traditional or neo traditional on black folks!! Bold will hold, big visible and recognizable imagery, less detail, skin breaks make kick ass solid tattooing on black people. Slowly I will get them to come around, I swear it bongsau 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6243-i-finally-understand/?page=4#findComment-114541 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlickSquid Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 @daveborjes I'm still not understanding what is wrong with his tattooing? You saying he bit his style or something? A few people are really into not liking this guy but I've never heard a real reason.

heathenist Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 Myke Chambers is obviously a great tattooer, I just don't love the style. It seems too "soft" or something, I have a hard time explaining it. Like not as powerful as stuff that's more traditional in style. tatB 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6243-i-finally-understand/?page=4#findComment-114564 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fala Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 For me, the contrast between the line-work, background, open/negative space and color ratios are off. I hope that doesn't come off as too vague, but that's all I'm able to articulate right now.

JasonTO Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 DJDeepFried said: I'm impressed by the technical ability of color portrait artists like Nikko Hurtado or Paul Acker, but a tattoo of Capt. Jack Sparrow or Catwoman, no matter how perfect, doesn't make me feel a thing. This right here. I followed Hurtado on Instagram some time back, and like you was originally blown away by the technical application. But after a while -- you nailed it -- I just thought, if I wanted to see an ultra realistic depiction of Darth Vader, then why not just look at a photo of Darth Vader? Why even bother with a tattoo if there's zero artistic interpretation to it?

Really? to be able to execute such piece on skin and make it like is damn real? Is not the same as getting a canvas and going at it you know... I understand the emptiness on the "WoW" factor but but zero artistic interpretation that's low IMOH.

polliwog Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I don't want to flog a dead horse, but Jennifer Billig put up some pretty cool pictures a couple weeks ago. This is just a tiny picture on a computer screen but I'm in awe of how durable a good tattoo is, and how skilled a good tattooer is. If it hits me in the gut the style doesn't really matter to me. Yay tattoos!!! This makes me want to go get more right away.

polliwog Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Speaking of deep fryers, I just went through the humiliation of trying on new bathing suits (even the most body-positive person could get bummed out when faced with women's swimwear) and am now feeling like, fuck it, tattoo over everything. xcom, Pugilist, SeeSea and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/6243-i-finally-understand/?page=4#findComment-114816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
