So You Want A Black & Grey Tattoo | Tattoo Styles 

Humility is key in life

Yeah same! I've been looking to get work done but finding the right person who can make it look great on my skin has me a bit reluctant.

@@dren5810 Most artists, and any worth their shit, understand the different skin tones, and will be able to give you a piece you love! Just talk to different artists until you find one you have a connection with. It's not only a great thing for the one piece, but stuff you will probably want later

@@sporemaster97 totally agree, as an update I just got a blackwork piece done and I think I've got the bug haha.

Truly. You can honestly tell he is completely in love with what he does and it makes me so happy

I plan to do all Black and Grey when I start getting tattoos. They're just so beautiful and I think they'd suit me best.

Agreed. So far, I'm at three pieces and they're all black & grey. I think I eventually want to do a Japanese traditional sleeve but if I don't go that way, it's old faithful B&G for me.

Rafi Broer are yu Japanese?!

He truly is a dedicated artist 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

I love your cousins😉😍

That's awesome! I can understand why you're proud of him!

Paul Booth is definitely one of the Godfather's of dark themed/demonic tattoos.

Paul booth is my favorite artist of all time but there more technically sound artist above him.

PITAPITA its a cool experience fr I had one done this summer it’s cool when your done to be excited about your tattoo and have the person that did the tattoo just as excited as you 😂

It's what we do

You got it yet?

@@itsmrsinshector1979 Actually yes lol. I have a full sleeve in black and grey now.

Good for you! I don't mean that sarcastically. It's gotten pretty watered down and meaningless. Too much talky!

@One Autumn Leaf It means he kills it in his tattooing ability. He's a beast!!

You sound like a chode trying hard to be cool. He's a Tattooer! Not an ink-slinger.

is true in pretty much all industries. My theory is that humble people get offered opportunities people with egos don't. I work with a lot of rappers and DJ's for my job, i give more opportunities to the level headed people who turn up and do their job. There are people with egos i will never book again, i have not told them this they will just go on not knowing the opportunities they squandered Also people at the top are always trying to learn, the ones with egos think they are the greatest

The only real mistake you made was picking the tattoo but not picking the artist. If you want a black and grey tattoo you gotta find a tattoo artist whose portfolio matches your expectations. I got a color one done first and I had to look for artists that prefer color as well as work in the style I was envisioning. My next one is going to be black and grey and that one I picked a completely different artist that I liked his black and grey work he had listed.

Michael Cross Agreed, I thought if I asked he’d actually tell me the truth. Lesson learned.

I say think of a good concept you want done that you know you'll always be happy with, and look for a decent artist in the area that looks like could do it. I usually look at at about 8 different shops online to narrow it down

I also wonder that

It’s all about the preference of the artist really You can have quality machines and still do crappy work and vice versa

My tattoo artist with $200/hour rate use $50 tattoo machine.

Tattooing for nearly five years just gonna repeat the above. Doesn't matter the machine as long as the it works for the artist. I've seen old school fellas do softer black and grey with the traditional coil machines than I do with my rotary pen. Just depends on you.

I thought the same thing. This video shows the difference between real confidence and false projections

Artists should have no problem using personal art for tattoos. The only objections I could see is if the artwork doesnt aesthetically work with the contours of your body or where you're wanting to get them.

A lot of artists don't want their bad decisions on display or have their names attatched to artwork that they don't personally sign off on. Doing permanent art on people is a very intimate and personal concept for a lot of tattoo artists. That's why many are so picky about what they will or won't tattoo on people. Then again, there are a lot of "jobbers" who will tattoo anything you want for a buck or two.

@@septixskeptix1107 I know...that's prolly why I don't have these tattoos yet...lol! I don't want a dime a dozen. If I'm unwilling to give my clients mediocre art, I certainly am unwilling to let someone turn my art into something mediocre. I am my own ultimate canvas afterall and what gets inked on my skin will be a testament to the combo of the artist's technical skill/style & my ability to create beautiful art. I want the artist to be proud of their work & I want people asking me who inked me so I can sing their praises. The artworks I've created are specifically done to stencil well in the areas they are wanted (I basically did a ducktape mockup). They might require slight adjustments as there's always something that can be tweaked to lie better but beyond that they should be good. I've even drawn two of the pieces so that they could be connected together into a full sleeve, over onto the shoulder connecting with the back piece eventually. That part, I would give placement freedom to the artist as it would be floral and winding. It would probably be best drawn directly on the skin as opposed to creating a stencil first. The two individual tattoos will look finished on their own or connected. Yeah, I've given all this almost too much thought...lol!
