if you like color square 3d gradient things like that, check out beth radford's art. she made some super cool gradient paintings. she plans out the colors in like adobe creative suite programs, then mixes the paints to the right colors. i think she often uses multiple layers of custom stencils she makes to get the lines right, and it makes for some neat paintings!
i always hear "white will fade" when watching tattoo videos.. while getting a tattoo many years ago, the tattoo artist wasnt going to do any white, but i asked for it.. he said it will turn yellowish.. which was true, the white turned into a "dirty" white area.. however, like i told him.. the picture he was tattooing was from an old toy of mine which had turned darker due to the dirt over the years anyway, so it ended up perfect.
When planning for my back tattoo, I emphasised with my artist that my skintone is olive, aka green, so my skin with pull all the inks green when healed. I love that she's so colour theory savvy and I have a whole arm of colours to reference from to see how they warp. I've nearly finished my back now. I'll definitely send you the photos once completed. I also love how hyped my artist is about it. To walk in on session 5 and your artist is still hyped and bouncing around with excitement, yeah, that's a good sign
8:26 never fails that I find an artist whose style and talent I love and who I'd love to do my whole back piece....and they're overseas. 🤦🏻♂️ happened a few times. Luigi is definitely on my list now.
@@iarevalo94 i bought 2 newbie tattoo machines and they both broke after 20ish days. had no money for a period of time. i have money now,but i have other priorities and stuff to pay for :D
Whoa! This week's video showcased some phenomenal tattoos! My favorite was the first one: the 3-D Bowser tat. That tattoo was genuinely mind-blowing. I think this is the first time I have liked nearly all of the tattoos you've featured from TikTok. Great job, Pony. I loved it.
Oh gosh, sack chaser? Why? I’m from Germany and the word sack means something like „balls“ in German. He would definitely not have a fun time in Germany (and in general it seems) at all, except for visiting a Gay bar maybe 😅
This is immediately what I thought too,and I'm from Australia 🇦🇺. I never would have made a link to money if pony hadn't said it, to me it just means balls.
@@gilded_lady Really? I didn’t know that, thanks for the info 😀 I thought „balls“ was the only informal term that’s commonly used in english. But well, I’m not a native speaker, so I don’t know what other english words are out there to describe that 😂
Can you please do a deep dive about picking tattoo colors and how they change over time? I really like color tattoos but it seems like some disappear/change color so I'm nervous to get one!
I love Amanda Graves's glitter reaper tattoo. Cute-horror, simple design, brilliant execution. The porcelain dragon is cool, but the concern for heals makes me less enthused. There were so many good tattoos in this video, a nice palate cleanser from all the nonsense we've seen.
So I am an apprentice. There is something I am struggling with coming from a traditional art background. Can you make a video on how much detail is too much detail. I can’t find a clear answer. People keep telling me my designs are too complicated on other platforms. I see some tattoo artist do super detailed designs. So would please clarify this for me. If need be I can send in some art. 😊
I have something similar to bowser its the star wars empire logo done in embroidery and she pulled it off amazingly it actually looks stitched in and has little threads at the edges just adding to the realism. That bowser is nuts though no idea how they get it looking that reflective and I want it.
I came here to say this! I LOVE that tattoo! I don’t think I could handle the pain of getting such a large, detailed piece. But that tattoo is such a gorgeous work of art❤
@@margauxnodvin7478 you could always do the tattoo in sessions. You know go in and get it lined out and then let that heal and go back in and get it colored. Just saying if you say you can't do it then you won't but if you say you can you just might.
11:47 - Is the contrast boosted on that Blue Dragon because the guy's pit looks tannish and the arm looks white with a blurred skin look so there's no hairs or pores? How's that possible? I thought Pony was against people boosting contrast. I hope it's just the lighting but...seriously...where's the guy's pores/hairs (you'd be able to see where the hairs would be growing back even if they're shaved).
I actually got a pair of the red/blue 3D glasses from a box of Fruity Pebbles way back over 20 years ago and some how have kept them nice to this day, I paused the video and used them to check out that 3D tat which was pretty cool but didn't really pop out at me like the usual 3D stuff does.
I have a porcelain style Haku on my inner bicep (got it there because I love colour, but really wasn’t looking forward to having that area blasted with it 😬). My artist used a very dark blue for the outline, similar to the dragon shown, but different shades of blue for details and depth with very little white (more used as a “spacer” to help counteract/slow the inevitable blurring). It’s almost a year old now and it’s still looking super crisp, though 95% of the time it is covered by a shirt and I’m not exactly into “pumping iron” so it really hasn’t been subjected to most of the things that will age a tattoo..
Wow...that Blue Flower tattoo on the hand looks so much better a year on. It almost looks like there's some green in it now. I don't think I've ever seen a tattoo look better a year later. Props to the artist and to the collector for taking such good care of it.
Wow, so many gorgeous tattoos, I can’t pick a favorite…. The Luigi tattoo is next level INSANE! However, if I had to pick one for myself, I’d be torn between the leg piece that’s the skull and ribcage with the fire light glowing from within which tapers down to the stained glass look OR the beyond beautiful leg piece that’s the skull made out of crystals. My dark, gothic heart loves the darkness of that skeleton seemingly illuminated with Hell fire, which transitions into the gorgeous stained glass. But the crystal skull is also just so beautiful…. If I had to choose based on which one would match my style of dressing, it’s the first one. But what an amazing display of (mostly) great tattoos! I just can’t with that Jesus…😂 Or the “Sack Chaser”. Was that done as a dare, I wonder? 😅
So what happened to the blue hand tattoo? It looks like a two weeks old bruise around it, did blue ink spread so far around the tattoo? Looks like small particles of blue ink spread around under the skin and covered with yellowish skin cells look kinda green yellow?
@magicbus693 lol well, good thing I didn't. I said Gods, plural. Also, if you're going to troll on someone who is clearly not Christian, at least get it correct. "Don't call the *Lord's name in vain." For the record, Odin doesn't care. In fact, he encourages calling out his name as a swear, lol.
If I were to guess: the second tattoo (the 3D one on the back) is an old tattoo! And that’s probably why the blues look like they’re not in there good anymore 🤔 I’m assuming this because the guy’s standing there with the left side of his shorts pulled up like a stencil is being placed 😮😜
oh god the person getting tattooed on the roof of their mouth seems to have snake eye piercings through their tongue. no piercer, in good conscience, would do that, knowing how that fuses the muscles together and causes SOOO many issues
The 3D glasses tattoo is an interesting and creative concept, but the effect will probably wear off in the future, and without the glasses, it kind of looks like a mess. Love seeing people experiment like this, though.
Wow! Having just come from watching a video full of dreadful and extremely amateur tattoos I couldn’t believe my eyes in this one. Almost all of them looked like they must’ve found someone really talented in photoshop to put this video together! Interesting side note almost every comment on the other persons video was from clean skins touting that all people with ink have very limited IQ it was very refreshing to watch a video where the artistry was superb and and no talk of the client having a subpar IQ. Well I guess it just goes to show there just has to be an exception to every rule 😂😂😂
It's funny that you critiqued others grey washed tattoos, wondering what they'd look like after 5 to 10 years if they'd wash together but you didn't for your buddy's tattoos because i'm thinking the only thing that's gonna look good in the barney and Travis Barker head tattoo in about 5 to 10 years is the cartoon element of the tattoo
Pony you are a no call no show. You and Jon I subscribed to (The No Call No Show) 5 months ago and nothing are you prankIng all 646 of as. BECAUSE IF YOU ARE it’s a little funny lol

Love your videos and work bro! Gotta ask, would you ever dedicate a video to tattoos on darker skinned people? That would be awesome! :)
That bowser sticker tat is actually insane asf. That’s some next level shit.

I like how the blue dragon looks like the designs on old china porcelain plates :)
Even tho i quit learning to tattoo i still watch those series. Love your content,man.
Why’d you quit
@@iarevalo94 i bought 2 newbie tattoo machines and they both broke after 20ish days. had no money for a period of time. i have money now,but i have other priorities and stuff to pay for :D
Like Kirk said, guy will be handing out 3d glasses to everyone he meets =))
Sandry riffard was the artist with the dark skulls, skull with amethyst
& Luigi Mansi was the sleeve with B& G with gold highlights
Bowser: I’d like to see the raw video.
Sack Chaser: Wouldn’t it be better as “STACK CHASER”?

@@tabbi888 yes, same here! I had to look it up after he mentioned it because I had no idea that this alternative definition was a thing 😅
thats basically what it means in english aswell ballSACK

I don't have tattoos, and don't want any, but I've watched all these videos. They're little art lessons
I love your "don´t eat the homies" sweater. each time i click on a video I´m excited to see if you´re wearing it.
either way: DON`T EAT THE HOMIES.
Another great critique. I always go to Instagram and follow as many of the artists you show as I can.
6:47 is there anyone noticed that heart ♥️ on Amanda’s tattoo been cutoff by the line ?
All 3 of the hearts are, which is why I believe it is intentional.
I love Amanda Graves's glitter reaper tattoo. Cute-horror, simple design, brilliant execution.
The porcelain dragon is cool, but the concern for heals makes me less enthused.
There were so many good tattoos in this video, a nice palate cleanser from all the nonsense we've seen.
Palate cleanser as opposed to palate tattoo. Yikes! 😮
Always love your vids pony. As a fellow tattoo artist. I always love your outlook on work 🤘🤘💯💯
Great episode, some fantastic work on show this week.

The crystal skull tattoo! I want crystals like that!

That Luis tattoo is insane.
I wonder how much those cost cus thats the talent u strive for
I like how the lifted part of that embroidery tattoo has thickness to it.

I was also impressed by that one! It looks like beautiful work one would see on porcelain or some such.

So is that a blowout on the blue hand floral tattoo? You mentioned the green tint to the surrounding skin and my eyes went right to it.
Black and grey realism tattoos are starting to grow on me. Doesn't fit my style, but I gotta respect it.
Some of these are all incredible! I need the instagrams for (almost) all of these artists. I've never heard of a 3D tattoo. I love blue tattoos.
I definitely interpreted "sack chaser" as the owner of it being a gay man...
So what happened to the blue hand tattoo? It looks like a two weeks old bruise around it, did blue ink spread so far around the tattoo? Looks like small particles of blue ink spread around under the skin and covered with yellowish skin cells look kinda green yellow?
oh my Gods, I am obsessed with those glitter tattoos
don't call the Lord name in vain

hey there was some truly stunning ink and there was some rather intresting ink too?
I love the trex tattoo 😂❤
Not sure if I like Meth Jesus or Sack Chaser better? 🤔🤔
When we gonna get pt 3 to your back piece??
The Blue Dragon is by Oozy I believe?
omg i want a sticker tattooo. thats so creative and amazing talent wow
That Jesus looks like Asmongold

Get rid of the music

I'm pretty sure that awesome leg piece with the skull and stained glass is fake. If you go down and see where it ends at the ankle, it's digital
