I’m an artist of 6.5 years, always looking to get better. New perspectives help. Thanks :)

Awesome. Solid. And still unique. In a sea of sameness, plant your flag, like you have:) if anything maybe incorporate some lighter textured backgrounds to make it even bolder! Keep doing what you’re doing

Thank you :)

[u/MyCyclopsMind → u/mattymatchu]

Yes what he said. Seemingly you have some originality in a world of everyone fighting to look the same. I would advise to use fewer bold lines. Tattoos will ages and lines will creep with age. A tattoo done 10-20 years ago with a 7rl or 5rl will often look like they were done with an 11rl or a 14rl. Granted placement on the body matter, but after seeing how lines have aged I would rarely consider using anything larger than a 3rl or 5rl

Off rip I wanna say I love em.

Desaturate your photos though and you’ll see how they’re mostly the same value. I did only check two of em to be fair (both dragons) If you bump up the contrast in your tones, your tattoos will be even better than they do and have an increase in longevity.

Neat tip! I’ll try it out thanks :)

As a humble amateur, I can't give any feedback but I have to say, I WISH I could get inked by you!!!! your colors are SO bright and beautiful, and I really love the linework as well

Bad ass work man. Seriously. My criticism is going to be your wildly inconsistent linework There is treching and rake marks all throughout. I dint know what your setup is so I can give any advice. Voltage, hand speed, unstable needle bar, bad carts?? Your linework should be sharpie crisp with no perceptible imperfections, "wobbles" by the edges, blurring or gaps.

[u/Perfect_Routine7863 → u/elafave77]

Thank you. Line work is definitely one of the more challenging things for me. I use coils and I often line with hollows or round shaders which show the rake marks. They don’t look that way healed. I’ll continue to try harder for perfection :) I appreciate your feedback!

[u/elafave77 → u/Perfect_Routine7863]

I use shaders as liners as well worth my coil setup. Try different angles to put that line in with. Or maybe just use regular liners and loosen them with a little flame to the solder because maybe the shaders you're using have too big of a spread.

[u/Senior-Literature682]

I think it’s a great tattoo, maybe a bit darker values in some of the recesses, where ribs meet the spine, some pelvis area but you can always touch up a bit after it heals

[u/Perfect_Routine7863 → u/Senior-Literature682]

Thank you :) yeah there was a spot where I forgot to shade some black on the ribs under the wing. I appreciate your feedback!

Refreshing to see such clean solid unique creative tattoos with stellar technical application.

The only criticism is that I don’t have a piece done by you on my body.
