    Hi All, 😀
    This is a tattoo done by an artist named Paul Rodney. He works out of his studio somewhaere in States, (yes I know nice and vague, but im not sure where) called blazincolors http://www.blazincolors.com I have seen stax of his work on ratemyink.com and all of them are as brilliant in execution and color as this one
    Is it possible to have color like this after it has healed? and if so does anyone have a clue as to what ink he would use? I have a dragon that needs some serious reworking on my back and would love to get something as bright as this done, but obviously need to know if it is possible or is it photoshopped?? I am a HUGE fan of his work. 😮
    Any and all input will be very much appreciated, waiting with bated breath to see what you have to say Mathew :p
    Have a good one……..Laters

    The colors are great in my openion, looks like some pretty good work, From a fan of the tattooing art standpoint, rather than an artists standpoint, i think they’re great…. i just don’t have any tattooing experience to give any other point of view. But i do draw alot, and even as drawings these would be impressive peices.

    Good work.

    I’ve got some pretty colourful ink, and the colours stayed in it perfectly as it healed, so yes, it’s possible. I have no idea what brand of ink the artist used though.

    Hi

    My advice is ring up or email and ask, That said if you live in the states and could fly/drive to the artist looking at their work it would be worth the trip!

    Take care

    Hi Kim

    Sorry to hear about the visa issues and yep S Africa is some distance to fly from.

    I did try to ring and ask them but no answer 🙁

    That said I did some digging for you…

    I have been looking at some research for my book on what is the ‘best’ inks to use. Obviously I am not an expert and my opinion is solely mine, but I have based this on tracing the ink sources of a couple of hundred tattoos by 7 artists.

    I have narrowed the possibilities down to 3 – each one is good and some have brighter pigments in one colour than another.

    Looking at the website I think it is either a mix or single use of the 3 main.

    I have sent you a PM on these as I do not want to break the unlicensed tattoo discussion and just to say i am not promoting, guaranteeing, or endorsing these products it is purely an opinion based on what i have seen and not scientifically founded yada yada 😉

    Take Care

    Hey butterfly, just noticed you say you come from Notts! Where abouts? I’m in Leics! Used to live in Notts though. The studio you’re on about isn’t Rampant Ink by any chance is it??
