How to prepare for professional tattoo conventions by J Luis.

The professional tattoo artist and resident of Inknation Studio, J Luis participated in the 2022 edition of “The New York Tattoo Convention” taking the great triumph thanks to the techniques used.

A delicate piece that combines natural elements inspired by neotraditionalism became the aspiration of tattoo artist J Luis, who in just three days will complete the necessary techniques to create an incomparable piece.

The first technique used was the segmentation of the tattoo. This allowed him to work each element of the tattoo in parts and thus be able to complete the project on time. 

On the other hand, J Luis focused on tattooing in steps to avoid damaging  the skin, in addition to using specialized machines such as the Cheyenne 4.0 and 3.5 to trace delicate and precise lines, and create reliefs and textures. 

Along with the implementation of high-end equipment, the tattoo artist also expressed the need to use appropriate colors or pigments.  Although he admitted that he doesn’t get the shades he likes, mixing and blending colors allows him to get just the right color to create the effects and nuances he wants.

In this way, with the techniques used by the professional tattoo artist J Luis, you will be able to prepare to participate in a tattoo convention, using them in your favor to not only finish your artistic piece, but also offer a tattoo with a professional design.
