      Not bad……a little shaky on the line work, shading could use a little help, but overall not too bad! Ill be interested to see the finished product with color.

      I dont believe its going to thicken the line work so much as it will give the entire piece dimension. When you do this type of B&G you need to add the white highlights to make it pop and stand out. Also, after looking again, I would suggest maybe some background? Fade out some lime green, yellow, or reds? Something to ground the work. Keep up the good work!!

      I dont normally get the opportunity to get on here very often lately but saw this and wanted to reply. I like the mechanic piece, but I also think you need some work in a few areas. Overall, its good, the shading is a bit hit and miss, some areas shaded pretty well, others not so much. That seems to be a huge problem for folks, shading, how much or how little to actually go with it and not over due it. Here youve got the top of the piston shaded kinda hit/miss, nothing really smooth to even it out. The eyebrow and cheeks are the same thing, kinda heavy, kinda light……not horrible, but then again, not completed either. I think if you want to bring life to this tattoo and make it really POP you need to incorporate some whites into it. Hit the shiny parts of the metal, hit the eyes, the teeth and any thing else that will really make it come to life. Try and smooth out some of the areas you missed on the shading and youll have a good looking piece of work there!!

      what kind of machine are you using? what are the volts? Whats the gap? How far out are you letting the needles hang out???? Lots of questions I know but this may help you out. Also post a pic of the machine it self if you can……

      I redone a few machines with 22uf, 33uf, and 47uf….personally I like the 33uf best of them all for a color packer, and a 22uf for my liner….but that is just preference on my part…….

      YES..a picture tells a thousand words. Im guessing here but I think what you have is likely a cheaper tip where instead of being drilled in the center its merely folded over or pressed into a round shape thus the groove. I could be way off on it but that sounds to me like what you telling us….
