Great video! I’d love to see a video about how to create flash that doesn’t look stiff or like it doesn’t fit/belong on the body

Really helpful video to understand how the shading in trad designs works, thank you so much for sharing you knowledge with us. I have a question, How can we archive that "White" edges when we are tattoing instead of drawing?
Thank you so much in advance!

Rule 1. Take out the light source
Rule 2. 1/3 black 1/3 color and 1/3 skin
Rule 3. Put your black where you want just don’t let your blacks touch each other.
Traditional tattoos came out of a necessity to get as many people in your chair as possible it was fast and simple.
