Participating in professional tattoo conventions is quite a challenge. It isn’t only about creating a design in a short time, but creating a piece that stands out for its creativity, composition and applied techniques.

For this reason, the professional tattoo artist Zhimpa Moreno will share 3 useful techniques that will help you create a unique and original design to take home the prize equal to the triumph he achieved at The New York Tattoo Convention 2022 edition. 

Think about the design 

The first thing you should do is think about what you want to capture and what are the elements you will use to bring it to life. But never forget to adjust your piece to the area to be tattooed and make sure it works and adapts well to the skin.

colors are essential 

Whether it’s a black and white, colored or black and gray tattoo, it’s important that your design stands out. 

Segment the work 

Tattooing in 3 days isn’t easy and it was an arduous challenge as it was Zhimpa Moreno’s first experience, but success is based on knowing how to segment the work.

Distribute your days intelligently to complete the tattoo and not hurt the skin. 

Now that you know these incredible techniques for tattooing at professional conventions, are you ready to participate?
