About the final project for: Realistic Color Tattoo

Realistic Color Tattoo

“You have reached the end of the course. Thank you very much for joining and accompanying me on this adventure. I hope you had as much fun as I did. Now you know new techniques to complement your training in this beautiful profession. Before I say goodbye, I would like to show you an example of how I would like to see the process of your project: The design Choose a quality photograph and you can make a design on it or simply take the selected photo.

The materials and the work table Check all the materials you are going to use and organize your work area in an orderly manner. If you do the project on synthetic leather, place the transfer and wait 24 hours for it to adhere well. If you carry out the project on a person, make sure the skin is hydrated and cared for.
From paper to skin Carry out the transfer of your design to the skin that you are going to tattoo. Remember to do it carefully. Before you start tattooing, it is recommended that you show your client what the transfer looks like.
The first lines When you make the bloodlines, it doesn't matter if they aren't perfect. The marks to serve as a guide in case the transfer is erased.
Work the black Fill in the black ones with circular movements and check that there are no unpainted areas by pouring water from the boxer.
The details To prevent light colors from staining, if you have to touch up an area that is dark, remember to apply Vaseline or a napkin to protect the area.
If you performed the tattoo on a person's skin and the area looks bleeding, apply a napkin with water to the area and wait for a few minutes until the bleeding subsides. I recommend that you practice on a synthetic skin before you start working on a client's skin. This way you will feel more confident when the time comes to work on a person. Keep in mind that the work we do as tattoo artists is a work of art that our clients will carry forever on their skin. When you finish your project, share your process in the forum by clicking on "Create your project". See you in the forum for any questions you have, due to my volume of work and my projects I may not be able to respond to you instantly, but I will keep an eye on your progress. While you wait, I invite you to exchange ideas with the rest of your classmates. Under your experience and knowledge we can create a group with very rich information and learn from each other. Thank you very much and good luck!”

Partial transcription of the video

“Before we say goodbye. i’d like to give you some important advice. Now it's your turn. You can develop everything I've taught you throughout this course. You don't have to make a fox; you can create any animal with the features we've learned before. For example. a wolf. an owl. a dog... remember the importance of the color range in your design and the textures. Remember to plan your design in the area where you intend to create it. Consider this when planning your design elements The base color of your main piece must be opposite to the one you use in the background. This will achieve great...”

Cristina Castillo is a tattoo artist specialized in color realism. Before I knew how to speak I was already drawing. Therefore, when years later he discovered that drawings could be made on the skin and that this could become a profession, he felt love at first sight.

Currently, it has more than ten years of experience and has been recognized at different events in the sector. She enjoys expressing herself artistically without limits and recognizes that, for her, one of the greatest achievements is that a person decides to get a tattoo with her and repeats.
