color outlines?
so im still an apprentice but ive been toying with color outlines. my boss disapproves and says that they will spread over time, more so then a kuro black outline. true? ive seen it used in so much work. are these people just throwing caution to the wind and hoping that it is readable after 5 yrs? or is there a correct way for this to work for me?

Re: color outlines?
well your boss is right to a certain extent.
Todays society in tattooing has changed and more and more tattoos are being done in just color.
It dependes on the ink, the way its put in, and how it is used.
Theres alot i can go on this subject but people are starting to think outside the box and there are other ways of doing a tattoo in just color that will allow it to hold its composition than other tattoos.

ive seen these hold up very well. three words you need to know. "contrast" and "round shader".
if you dont know how to apply both of those, then stick to the black lines!!!
can be tricky. make sure your mentor is someone whose work you admire and trust. learn all you can from him...really in being an apprentice, Id suggest learn the basic rules, before you break them!
GOOD LUCK!

round shader! ask yer boss!!!
see what he thinks about applying the line differently.
color outlines can, and do work all the time, depending on application, technique and the right contrast.

Re: color outlines?
OH. so you are saying to outline with the shader? why? more space between the needles = more color saturation and a bolder line?

Re: color outlines?
color pigment is thicker, and if you use a regular liner you will tare up the skin, the s&!t may want to be private if it goes any further, just pm me or someone else, later

Agreed, I think anyone would be happy to help out IN PRIVATE, when it comes to super technical stuff. That's what the forums all about. I use just color all the time by the way, and I havent had any troubles once I found the secret
