Tiresius

Follow up: about a week ago I messaged the parlour I am booked in with to ask the same question. I left out the part about lots of brilliant artists etc, so it was just asking how those two artists would have achieved such a vivid effect, whether it was technique or ink. I never got a reply so I'm wondering if I committed a grave faux pas as I'm pretty ignorant of tattoo etiquette. If I did, how do I do damage control?

Hi all! I have two tattoos, one on each ankle and am contemplating my third. This time however, I'v become seriously obsessed with the whole subject! Thus, I'v been viewing and examine tattoo pics non-stop. I have a booking with an artist whose work I love but have to wait a whole year. In the meantime, I have the following question: some tattoo artist's work seem SO vivid and the colour SO saturated, that I can't work out if its a difference in style and technique or whether they actually use a different ink. For example Giena Todryk, and Marcin Aleksander Surowiec. We all know there are many brilliant artists out there - some of which are more to my taste - but few seem to achieve the sheer pigmented strength of these. Any opinions?
