Nice callout! I find it funny that these "trends" we see are cyclic, and that so many folk don't remember how commonplace fineline tattoos were... just 40-50 years ago. So much effort is taken to highlight Traditional Americana while ignoring a large part of tattoo history. I assume this happened once the great cataclysm of knowledge occurred in thr late 90s- early 00s, and apprenticeship evaporated once the TV shows became mainstream. Folk often look at TV as a direct representation of life, or equivalent to an education (look at people using this Platform to learn... but how can you know what is good avice?), which resulted in a massive surge of self-taught artists flooding thr market. This erased a large swath of connection to the past experiences of artists who worked towards an understanding and created a gaping knowledge-hole. On top of that, people are less prone to analyze and critically think about why stuff happens because they can get a result immediately from places like Google or Facebook,, etc... Maybe this is a bit of a vent, but we started this channel focusing on giving theory and short classes that enable people to think, rather than mimic, which would help in growing knowledge to better self-teach and understand the craft as it is. But yeah... M.M. is a badass🤘
Hello, you were talking about fine line tattoos made in the 50's. I am really curious about it, but can't find any pictures on internet, could you advise me about what to ask to Google to find them? Your educational videos are great, I would rather understand the science behind a style (exactly what you do) than an opinion based only on emotions, like most of the other RUclips videos... Keep up the good work 👍👍👍
Thanks for the kind words! If you look up Jack Rudy and Marc Mahoney, Good-time Charlie’s online you’ll see what we were talking about. In fact, Bob Shaw also has some fineline work that predates a load of what we consider contemporary
Hi Rian, some tattoo artists dilute their ink to minimise movement of ink particles. They tend to use 50/50 or 70/30 dilution. What do you think about this technique ever come across it? Thanks for the channel.
Yeah I know of it. We've got a couple of videos that talk about using washes but there isn't one discussing the science behind how they work. I'll make a video this coming week discussing that🤘
"If you need to practice, don't practice on paying clients" haha, pure gold, should be put up in the workshop somewhere
Wow, this is literally science and this is helpful for me as I'm learning. I'm gonna watch your other videos and sub for more!
Great explanation!
Very informative!
Thanks for explaining this. This is so true. Now it's getting clients to understand! Lol...I'll just send them to Mark Mahoney!
Nice callout!
