blending color

[rpaynejr1279]

hello everyone, ive been practicing coloring and blending attempts seem to have me at a bump in the road, i usually use curved mags and would love to hear tips on blending techniques, i was thinking maybe a flat mag would be better for the blended area but not sure, any suggestions would be gratefully appreciated, thanx. :D

I prefer to use curved mags for most larger blending –
but you can blend with any type of tattoo needle grouping.
The actual blending is more in the pressure and how the machine it hitting than in the needle grouping –
in my opinion.

I hear ya, practice practice, ill try softer pressure and make machine adjustments, thanks for the advise.

Blend your own tattoo ink to form new colors! Tattoo ink can be diluted, blended, made lighter and darker. You can turn a few colors into many colors. Using proper methods is important to prevent ruining ink. In this post we’ll discuss how to mix tattoo ink properly. Always make sure that the stirring tool you are using is sterile, otherwise you run the risk of cross contaminating your colors which would suck!
