The tattoo artist Robert Carlos achieved it and captured all eyes with his design. Inspired by the signs of the universe and the vibrations that our ears perceive towards our path of life.
That’s why he will share the three keys that led him to complete this great challenge.
#1 The machines to useÂ
To create a tattoo with amazing nuances and textures, it’s important to use the right machines, such as the Cheyenne 4.0 or 7.0, which will allow you to apply shading, highlights and color more effectively.
#2 choose the right techniqueÂ
Before getting tattooed, it’s important that you think about the action plan that you’re going to use to finish the tattoo on time and without damaging the skin. Roberto Carlos suggests starting tattooing from the bottom up. In this way the skin will not suffer and you’ll prevent the colors from mixing when tattooing so that they always look bright.
#3 select your action plan
Working quickly isn’t appropriate. It’s important that you think about the skin and how to do it so that it’s not mistreated during the process. To do this, the tattoo artist recommends starting in the form of a pendulum or circle and thus preventing the skin from suffering.
Follow these incredible techniques that Roberto Carlos recommends and participate with confidence in any professional tattoo convention.
