Angel black and grey half sleeve. It was a pleasure working with Carl such a patient and chilled guy. Contrast is important when tattooing black and grey due to longevity, all tattoos fade over time, and black is the only tone that’s gonna hold your tattoo over time. I understand some clients do not like to have much black in their tattoo and I understand, however the tattoo artist should make sure the client knows they are getting a temporary tattoo. A lot of young tattoo artists will start learning to tattoo after 5 years, when they see their tattoo aged, specially in black and grey. Black and grey realism is a style that I draw in order to understand how shadow fall in the subject, I had a seminar with Carlos Torres about shadow, and when I had the seminar I discovered how much I didn’t know about shadow. A lot of black and grey tattoos are based on black, grey and skin, and that’s a very basic understanding of black and grey, that’s how I used to see it and understand, however after understanding and studying black and grey and attending a seminar with one of the best black and grey tattoo artists in the world, I realised that, black and grey tattoos, there’s a lot more deeper understanding than, black, grey and skin. And that’s the thought I have when looking at most black and grey tattoos.
