Very professional and well thought out video, Great content thank you!
Great info 🙌
Great video! It make looking at tattoos and artwork more fun when you have more of an understanding on why a piece is a certain way.
Thanks so much, and I definitely agree. I’ve always been fascinated by how things work personally.
Thanks 🙏you !!I really like this Video !!.
This has been really interesting And I will probably revisit it. Thanks.
Happy to hear it!
Damn, this is pretty cool stuff to learn. For a Pro or someone just interested in color pieces
Thanks so much, that means a lot!
@@tattlogic My pleasure pal! Actually plan on stopping by your shop sometime soon, looking forward to meeting and chatting
@@dadbodmascot Awesome! Always down to see some new faces around the studio. Looking forward to it as well!
Great content!!
Thank you!
Would be interested in a more in depth view of different color harmonies in tattoos. This was a good overview, but it would be cool to see how you might apply a triadic scheme to a design from start to finish for example.
Right on, thank you for the recommendation! I think that’s a great idea and I’ll get right on it 💪🏻
Great freaking video just subscribed!
Thanks so much!
Genial 👍👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌

Great new channel subscribed. Could you please do a video about how to create glows like glowing eyes on a realistic skull with pro create for example.
Thanks so much for your support 🙏🏻 Your timing couldn’t be better, I actually have a video on glowing effects dropping on Friday so be sure to check it out.
@@tattlogic will do thanks I havnt seen much digital stuff for tattoo. It's very unique all the best of luck for your channel growing.
@@hifi8844 I appreciate it!
Hey mate, I would be so happy if you could answer this question please. I really enjoy lining with Dynamic Black, and I really enjoy using Solid Ink for color. Can I line with Dynamic and pack with Solid Ink or I shouldnt mix brand and stick to only 1 brand at a time ? Thank you !
Good question! It’s perfectly fine to line with Dynamic and fill with a different brand. In my experience even mixing different brands is fine as long as they are good quality inks ie eternal, fusion, solid etc.
Sometimes when mixing colors across brands they don’t want to mix very well, so when possible you should try to have colors of the same brand to avoid this.
I’ve been using Starbrite white and Dynamic black for years and I’ve mixed many colors with both and never had an issue.
Thank you very much ! I will try it for sure ! :)
Quick question what’s the best way to differ from analogous and monochromatic
Great question. Analogous color harmonies have multiple colors that are near eachother on the color wheel (ex red, yellow, orange) whereas monochromatic has just one color (mono means one and chromatic means color) So a monochromatic piece would have one color that changes in value (how light or dark) or saturation (how close to gray it s) but the color itself doesn't change.
How can this applied to dark skin?
Good question! When it comes to dark skin, you need to have as much contrast as possible since you are working with a reduced range of values. Push the darks darker and the lights lighter and simplify the shapes. Lighter colors also behave differently in the skin based on how much melanin is present and there are many scales and examples on google that demonstrate this visually.
Liquid Amber has a great article on the subject with examples here www.liquidambertattoo.com/blog/2020/9/10/tattooing-guide-for-darker-skin-tones
@@tattlogic Thank you so much. I really appreciate you and the time you out into these lessons and responses.
