Have you seen an artist’s work and want them to design a tattoo for you?

If you are into tattooing, as you search across the Internet, you are bound to come across artworks and artist’s that could make a good tattoo. And you probably have begun to regularly check out particular artists the focus on tattoo designs. Don’t be shy, if you like their work and want a tattoo design from a favored artist, send them an e-mail.

Here is a recent request, that Tiggy the tattoo art creator, recently received…

Hi Tiggy, i recently found out about you on tumblr, and i think your art is absolutely incredible. i was just wondering how much it would cost for a tattoo done by you, like what the minimum would be. And this may seem like a dumb question but have you ever tattooed a black person, because i was wondering would the ink show up on my skin and about maintenance and stuff. Anyways just curious. Hopefully, i have enough money to have you give me a awesome tattoo soon. xx Thanks.

Hey there lovely!

It’s better to email me your questions, tiggytattoos@icloud.com 🙂

However, if you think about tattooing in a similar way to drawing on paper with pencil crayons, imagine how the colours show up on dark paper compared to light paper. It’s totally the same deal when it comes to skin 🙂

I guess it depends on how dark your skin tone is really. Black ink would show up fine, but there wouldn’t be as much contrast between the ink and the skin, if that makes sense?

As another example –
I’m very pale but my skin as a slight olive tone to it. I’ve noticed that my tattoos I have, the blues come up a little more green because they mix with the slight yellowish colour of my skin!

So anyway! If you would like something done, we can discuss your ideas and prices based on that via my email 🙂

Hope I’ve helped xx

Remember, tattoo artists work for a living. Many of them will be happy to provide a tattoo design for you at a fair price… Just ask!

The Encyclopedia of Watercolor Techniques, 2nd Edition

From Library Journal:
In this revised and updated volume, Harrison gives instructions for using water-based mediaAthis time adding watercolor techniques to the encyclopedic mix (alongside those for acrylics and gouache). In some 35 lessons, she covers the laying down of washes, working wet-in-wet, spattering, scumbling, and creating texture with salt. An able teacher and artist, trained at London’s Guildford School of Art and the Royal Academy School of Painting, Harrison has produced a fine volume. However, it can’t quite match the breadth and excitement of Zoltan Szabo’s 70 Favorite Watercolor Techniques (LJ 5/15/98).
