I sent an email in April 2021, no worries if the photos were too low quality, but wondered about turnover time. Should I resend? I'm a collector by the way. Thanks, Daisy.
@@dayzfallingdownx190 I’ve been working from the oldest to the newest, and there have only been a few I couldn’t use. I’m sure yours will be up soon enough! :)
I respect Steve's choice to submit a piece he wasn't happy with. Shows he has a willingness to improve. Good luck to you, fella. Great video too, Pony. Loving this channel bigtime, mate!
The crossword puzzle tattoo doesn't end up looking like a crossword puzzle because the words have empty spaces before, between, and after them (and even multiple words within a single connected row). It would have been pretty easy to accomplish a realistic take without losing anything, but they either didn't bother or didn't consider it. Luckily, you could likely fix it by blacking out some of the currently open squares.
giving that only one single word even crosses over another word and all the others are just like on a piece of paper... i'd say it's not really fixable. great idea, execution not so much
@@rigdigwus There could be rows and columns left unfilled as if they hadn't been solved yet. That would allow you to keep the spacing. Still isn't close to ideal, but it could make it better.
I don't have tattoos, but you are very entertaining. I love the work you put into cinematography and editing. I've watched a bunch of these and continue to!
Thanks for the critique, Pony! My artist did a great job of bringing my idea to life. He captured all five elements that I wanted, without it being “cluttered.” I have seen that happen in other tattoos before. I do agree about the gladiolus flowers; they are a bit lackluster. It healed really well, but you’re right about those two spots - they were a little overworked. Take care and thanks again!
I really like these tattoo critique videos! As someone who would like to have tattoos one day, these videos make me aware of what to look for in an artist’s work.
The one sent in by Joel looks like the Province of Manitoba in Canada. It could be either a cow since they're raised in Manitoba or a buffalo since it's an animal that represents the province
This is so late but the "farm/milk jugs" in the background of the cow tattoo is probably a grain elevator. They're a pretty iconic part of the Canadian prairies. The outline looks like Manitoba.
I may be biased, but the Athena tattoo is my favorite (the subject aside, it's still great). The back tattoo is def a very close second though! And the little reaper doggy is cute.
I'm getting my first tattoo in october. I will definitely send it in once it's done! Finding a good artist who does the style I want, took forever. Especially since mine is only in the country every couple of months, for like a week. So appointments are limited. I'm already so hyped up lol.
Voiceover production is very good in these brotha makes a HUGE difference, i think i can speak for all of the fellow recording nerds watching your shit when i say thank you for taking the time to get the sound made right.
The Est 2000 with the XXs is a reference/homage/copy of the tattoo MGK has on his chest. The XX is part of his whole trademark, so I guess this guy is an MGK fan ?
The hard to see photo was a tattoo of Manitoba, Canada with a cow (?), wheat and a railroad grainery in the background. I'm making these assumptions from being from Saskatchewan myself.
it bothers the shit out of me that the crossword puzzle tattoo isn't an actual crossword puzzle. on the dragonball tattoo: the left arm of Vegeta looks so weird. what is that thing haha it looks like there is a finger with a nail coming out of his shirt
Hey pony I started drawing in lockdown to pursue an art career specifically tattooing. Would you critique just some flash I've drawn so I can get some structural advice in ways to perform better . ? Thanks if you reply if not awesome videos gives me alot of future knowledge of small things to keep in mind
I love the idea of the crossword puzzle, but the artist should not have had the words fall in the middle of blank spaces as if its missing letters. They should have made the black squares fit the words.
That back piece and the Athena look great! I would wear both of those! Also if you actually read this Pony, I'm gonna retake my picture and send it to you (though I thought it would have been high enough quality). Hopefully you use my Moana tattoo soon 👏
I'm a day late >.< Can I suggest again that collectors have to include the artist? To each their own, but "Established [year]" tattoos always make me cringe.
