Long story less-long...Was going to get a half sleeve, job issues and economy mean that will be awhile. So, my A.D.D. mind started pondering getting some color in my b&g pieces, just pondering for poops and giggles. Came across this local artist, love her use of color. Just curious on everyone's thoughts. Chat away!

Very nice, soft color work. Looks like she probably uses a pneumatic machine, correct?

incorrect Matt. Look at her "my photos" folder. Every image of her tattooing involves a traditional 2-coil machine

There should be pics up in my little profile thingy? If not I did something wrong, shocker. The cross one now has a border around it I'm not super fond of, just an idea that didn't translate as well. Don't even know if color is possible to add but ya never know till you ask.

im no artist but i would say you can probably get away with it on the cross tattoo, but not so sure with the lightning and hand deal

Interesting. I know a lot of the artists who've switched to Neumas had that soft, airbrushed look to their work beforehand, and switching to the pneumatics just amplified that look even more.

This particular artist could probably benefit from them as well.

Nice looking work regardless.
